High school friends

Do any of you blog readers keep in touch with someone you went to high school with? I have kept in touch with a couple of people, and B was my best bud in high school and still is. We have since both gotten married, I've had a couple kids, she's battled cancer and we get along great (with each other and the husbands).

We had the wonderful privilege of having B & P come and stay with us for a couple days during the beginning of January. We had a blast. Heather cooked some great food, we found out what our Brain Age is, went to the Children's museum, and of course played some Dr. Mario (by linking 2 game boys together - this is our favorite past time for the 4 of us to do) and Mario Golf on the Gamecube.

Jase just loves them, even though he has only seen them a handful of times. Within a couple of hours of their arrival, he was calling them Grandpa and Grandma, so you know he loves them a lot!

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. The choice is different and unique for each mother and each family. Many are able to be 'full-time moms,' at least during the most formative years of their children's lives, and many others would like to be. Some may have to work part- or full-time; some may work at home; some may divide their lives into periods of home and family and work. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
