The day that Gaetan and Joshua went out I got a visit from my KABAJ girls! :) Angela had moved to Alabama almost immediately after she got married so this was her first time back in MI since then. I had seen Katie a handful of times recently due to weddings but its always nice to get together with them to chat.
The interesting thing about this group from high school is that after visits it feels good. We talk about a lot of things and we can feed off each other. It's not like we have a bunch of little side conversations and nobody actually knows what's going on in each other's lives. It was a little hairy around my parents place since my sister's family was there and it was just us watching all the kiddos... but we managed to have some really good conversations and laugh a lot! :)
I got paid an immense compliment. Both Katie and Angela told me that they thought I was an extraordinary Mom. They said watching me interact with my kids gave them hope for the future... I thought that was really nice! It was nice to hear also because there are days where I don't feel like the greatest person, let alone parent. So, I appreciated their comment more than they know. :) They told me that it gave them hope for when they started having kids and that it was reassuring that the world wasn't a complete loss. Thanks ladies! I do appreciate it.
Unfortunately the roads were getting increasingly worse and by the time Gaetan and Joshua got home they said that the roads were pretty much ice. So we decided to call it quits so that everybody could get home safely. I look forward to the next time I can hang with them! :)
