Luau 2009 - part I

Here's Pat (Dan's mom) playing the role of Isaac, the bartender.

Hey Meg, check out our cute platters!

Big changes for my friend A

A and I met each other through work almost 10 years ago. Wow! We're the same age and we served on a committee together. We've seen each other through thick and thin and I'm very proud of that. Six years ago she watched me leave my job and move out east to get married and she stood by me. She must have had mixed feelings (as I do now) watching me go. But as strange as life is, I moved back a year later and she was there to help me celebrate and readjust to life in Colorado. She even DROVE to my wedding in Iowa (with our other good friend C) - across Nebraska twice in one weekend. Now that's friendship!

So now I get to see her move to a new state, start a new job, begin a new chapter in her life. I'm very happy for her and these new things are really a blessing in her life. But I am a little bit sad for me. Love you girl!
