mandy lou

there are some days i just miss my life. today was one of them. wait, so was yesterday. i miss being able to come home without any work. i miss being able to have dinner, around a table, enjoying real conversation. i miss terry. i miss addison. i miss my friends.

i was at work yesterday and while carrie and marc so graciously took my addison to the park to play, mandy called. mandy lou. probably my oldest friendship, and definitely one of my most cherished. i have known her so long i can't remember when we met. or where. or what i was wearing. or if i even liked her at first. we don't have those memories. we have just always been. and i love that. it is the most unique friendship i have. one that has no beginnings and no end.

well, my sweet mandy lou is getting married to her love in two weeks. and as usual, i kinda fret about the dress and how i will look, but to be honest, i really don't care. i am not there is impress. i am there to stand in her honor. to stand there and watch her give her love to her guy. it brings such sweet tears to my eyes to even think about it. i am so thrilled for her that my own heart is overwhelmed. i can't wait to see her beautiful self walk down that isle.

so even though right now, this week, this day, i am missing my life. in two weeks i will get to be such a big part of someones life. it is the light at the end of this tunnel. deadlines will cease, rest will come, and a sweet wedding will take place. and i can't wait.
