Dinner With An Old Friend

Thursday night I had dinner with an old friend. : ) I have not seen her since 2011 when she was pregnant with her son. Over the years we have had a touch and go kind of friendship --we're close and then we're not, we're close and then we're not. I have known her since elementary school and really didn't start getting close until high school. She lived across the street (fun!) Her family became mine and mine hers. We both worked for the county of Los Angeles in our late teens to our early twenties. We had a lot of great times...and we have had quite a few ruts as well. Despite all the ups and downs, it's always nice to see her and catch up on the time passed. I finally met her beautiful son. It's great to finally  see her natural motherly insticts come into play with her son. : )

So since we've had this touch and go kind of friendship for forever, we promised we'd have lunch/dinner/play date quarterly. : ) It was great seeing her and great to know that she's still the same good friend I've had over the years.
