This past weekend I made my way up to Raleigh to visit my wonderful friends, the Springer's. Last summer they moved up there and by Dec had finally moved and settled into their new home. So my first trip to visit them was in Dec. This Dec I made the second annual Dec trip (I love starting new traditions!). It was such sweet time with them. I love the depth of conversation and the care and support they always give to me.
It was a relaxed weekend which I desperately needed! We all had to work Friday and then ended up staying in Friday night. We made dinner and stayed up late talking. Saturday was a kick boxing class, breakfast, hanging with some other friends while Christmas shopping and then dinner at this great restaurant called Cuban Revolution and A Christmas Carol play (that is part of the Springer Christmas tradition). The food was great and the play was very entertaining. But the best part of Saturday was all the SNOW! It was coming down pretty heavy and it stuck around for a bit. I think around 2 inches fell which is crazy for so early in Dec. Sunday morning we got up early for church and had a snowball fight in the parking lot. I loved going up there and the face time with friends that I miss and love dearly!
On the drive home I stopped in Greensboro to see my friend Kristi. We had lunch at this place called the Lindley Filling Station - delicious sandwiches! - with a couple of her friends and roommate. Then we did a little thrift store shopping which is always entertaining. Then it was off to Greenville for dinner with my sweet friend Megan and dessert with Ginny and her roommate and new puppies. A busy day but I'm thankful for the time with friends even though it was brief and included over 5 hours of driving through 3 states.
Have I mentioned how lucky I am to have such wonderful friends in my life? Don't get me wrong, things aren't all sunshine and roses all the time. But when I stop long enough it's hard to deny that the people in my life are wonderful blessings that make the hard times a little easier and the good times great!
