Better than Expected!

It was so much fun... but not long enough.

My play-date with Tatum and Matthew. Maddie was GREAT!!! She loved it... just loved the museum and she was polite and didn't throw ANY tantrums!!

I was pretty nervous driving there. Wondering if too much time had passed and that we would have nothing to talk about once we saw each other. She was worried about the same thing. But that was not the case at all.

At one point, she said, "where do we even begin... so how was 9th grade?!?!" which is just so funny, we literally had from 9th grade on to catch up on. This was my BEST FRIEND for 8 years. The one that I spent every weekend with, we had sleepovers at least once every weekend and spent three weeks with each others family in the summer. Any vacation we went on, we went together. And then the last day of 8th grade that all changed.

Come to find out, our lives are pretty parallel right now. Her husband is a huge Boston sports fan. Matthew is so cute and so well behaved.

There was no awkward silence and we even planned a date for us to meet each others husbands...

I think it hit me on the way home that I had just actually had lunch with her. I mean, for years I wondered what she was doing, if she loved college, what she did for work, if she drank or not, and if she wondered the same stuff about me...

My only regret was that I did not take pictures. I stated at one point that I can't be a cautious mom and take pictures at the same time.. I just can't. Anytime I try, Maddie falls and smashes her face on something in the process!! So I didn't even bother! We'll take some next time!!
