Last night I received a phone call from my best friend growing up, Katrina. I have known Katrina pretty much my entire life. Seriously, we were in the samw ward when we were like 2 years old. I don't think anyone influenced me like her family did. They lived across the street and down the alley from us. I can't tell you how many hours were spent in that alley and in their back yard. Since talking with her I have had a flood of memories hitting me this morning. Most of them are good too....like trying to catch the alley cats in a sandbox trap. lol (Those darn cats kept getting out!)
Katrina also told me that when we moved away when I was 13 that "it broke her heart." I had NO idea. There were many people who I figured just tolerated me when I was growing up and probably still do. I thought she was one of them. This made me feel so sad and so good at the same time. I wonder if I would have done things differently had I known. Would I have done more to have stayed in touch with her once we moved? It was hard though not being old enough to drive and get around.
I feel like I have found my long lost friend now. Talking with her was SO easy. I felt like I could tell her anything and everything all right away. Like I had been talking with her the day before. Now I am going to have to go to my mom's this weekend and try and find some photos of us together. I can think of one off the top of my head but I probably don't have many.
On another note, I feel great this morning. My pants were even a bit loose and that makes me super happy. Tonight is a book group for Relief Society to which I think I might attend. The author is in our stake presidency and the book is about receiving personal revealation in the Temple. I haven't read the book but it is on old at the library for me. I think I will probably go because it will probably be interesting. I think I also wrote about this in a previous blog as well.
Work is going slow this week. It is about 10:30 and the first person just got here. I need to make a to do list again as things have changed on what I need to do. Probably #1 is finish transfering mini videos to regular size so I can get the video camera back to Scott. #2 is figure out how to use the timing feature on my camera. I can probably do that at work so maybe I will work on that this morning.
It should be warm this weekend and that means Pool time! Rick agreed to go with me last night. =)
Ok off to do other things
I am so thankful now all I have to do is plug in my camera and I am good to go. I had to get an external hard drive for my photos (and music but I have more photos than music on there). I take photos every chance I can. I keep my camera in my purse because I never know when I will need it. Rick really wants to buy an SLR for me to advance my photography but considering I have a simple point and click I am so pleased with the photos I am able to take.
