Long Day, but Good

I made some big decisions yesterday. Stuff I'm not quite ready to share with the world at large, but things that will change some directions in my life.

Today underscored some of those decisions, and added some interesting dilemmas to my life.

But I spent time with my best friend this evening, and that was great. Time with her is getting short. In just over a week and a half she is leaving to spend eight months bringing babies into the world in Pakistan, and doing pre and post-natal care. Four months after she returns, she'll be getting married, and I'd be a fool to think that marriage won't bring changes to our relationship. But tonight, we shopped for girly things and just enjoyed being together. We talked about bath products, and what makes our skin break out. About her travel and wedding plans. About the possibility of me perhaps visiting her in Pakistan before she comes home. About what we're doing this weekend, and when we're getting together next.

It was great to spend time with her, to forget about all the hard and serious stuff for a couple of hours and talk about things that were way more fun. I'm so glad for her.
