Ebbs and Flows

As promised - I'm going to try to blog at least a couple times a week.  Quick update on the house: they had to sand and restain again and again due to faulty mineral oil or something like that.  Got the stain and poly on now and I can tell a HUGE difference!  It's looking good and we are back on track. 

Soooo - when I last blogged in October 2013 I wasn't spending as much time with Peck as I usually do and I wasn't talking to my sister.  It's crazy how much can change in just a few months.  Let me explain:

• Peck - so we stopped talking around May 2013 and didn't really talk for much of the summer.  It's crazy looking back but I think we both needed a break from each other.  She was dealing with her stuff, I had my own bidness going on - it was a good time for some distancing.  We hung out over Labor Day and saw each other for various events related to my cousin's wedding, more on that later, and started a very slow rebuild.  By the end of January/early February we were talking more, going to bunco and what not.  We went to Valentine's Day dinner with Shelby and Steph (who were going to take us to the airport for South Africa - more on that later too) and Peck and family came with us.  It was great.  However, had the next decision not been made - we still might be on a very slow road to recovery.  What I mean by that is - we decided to let Dra watch the house while we were in South Africa.  The rest is history, or at least covered in the last post, as the water event completely reset Peck and I back to regular BFFs.  Then in all the to-dos with this thing and my going crazy and rebelling Peck has been there and been back to the Peck I know and love.  It's been the best ever.  I love my BFF and so glad we are back in sync.  We've been sending each other songs on You Tube to express our feelings.  I was thanking her for being there for me in all this water event drama and she sent me "That's What Friends Are For" so I sent her "Wind Beneath My Wings" so she sent me "Lean On Me" so I sent "Stand By Me" she sent "I'll Be There" I sent "Thank You For Being a Friend" she sent "You're My Best Friend" I sent "You've Got a Friend in Me" - my ultimate goal is to turn this to a kinky side and send "Wiggle Wiggle." ......this just in.....just got another text from Peck....HAHAHAHA!!!!
• Stacy - during the wedding my parents arranged for Dane and I to go down to my sister's house to watch the Bronco's game with them and it was great!  It started a bit of a tradition for us to go down and watch several other games during the season.  What's nice about that is Stac and I are back to being sisters again. Though I found out a month or 2 ago that she's moving to California.  So that sucks but at least we are talking again and we can keep a relationship going.  It's awesome.  :-)

So relationships ebb and flow and they take a lot of work to upkeep but so worth it.  To that end, I need to schedule time with Sarah, email Jamie and see if I can't find some time to hang out with Becky.  I'm glad that I have Friday Night Lights (FNL) with Peck and Steph.   I need weekly (if not more) doses of those two.  I love all my friends and they each fill a special spot in my life.  I rely on Peck and Steph to keep me (mostly) sane.  They do the best they can.  Last week I got fed up with life and getting hot while dancing so I took my pants off.  Just took 'em off.  I at least waited till the kids got to bed then whhoooooosh!!  Pance Off Dance Off!!!  Since I'm a problem solver and I don't want to have to take my pants off again, I'm just going to wear a dress to FNL this week.  Hee hee hee.
