Seems like just yesterday we were rockin' our mushroom cuts & playing on the schoolyard at Victoria, with shorts up to our armpits, running shoes & higher-than-usual ankle socks, with our oh-so-fashionable ball caps...

and then POOF...

Fast forward...we both meet our husbands right out of high school, share the excitement of getting engaged, the joys of each others marriages, and somehow in the midst of our busy lives, manage to remain friends & share the trials and tribulations of woman-hood from opposites ends of the world.
We've had children and become great friends, and always cherish our short time together [as we only usually get to see each other but once a year :( ]... and OMG, btw: when on earth did we become all grown up...?! 

Nadine my sweets, I do so very much enjoy our chats and catch ups each Summer when you are "home" from wherever in the World your teaching adventures take you! I always enjoy & look forward to the coolest little knick-knacks you bring me from all over the unique places you live or travel all over the world.  I live vicariously through you and love how we have so much in common that we always seem to pick right back up where we last left off!
You are one of my dearest friends
I am proud of you, your family, and all that you have become. I know you have so many more exciting accomplishments to surprise me with as you grow and blossom into even more awesome-ness [if that's even possible I'm not quite sure?!].
I am so very honoured and proud to call you my friend.
I miss you already and can't wait to meet for Lattes next year and share stories of the children, our husbands, lack of sleep, poop, vomit, and breasts, & how we try so very hard [as all amazing parents do] to mold our mini bundles of joy into fantastic little beings, that will grow up right before our very eyes and go on to do spectacular things!

Until our next chat xoxo
Love & miss you tons ~melissa
