Night out with friends

Every now and then it is good to just get out with my good friends. Tonight BFF, Kmae, and I went out. We started out at Fugakyu to enjoy some WONDERFUL sushi!! mmmmmmm I ordered the smoked salmon sushi, an avocado roll and an Idaho Roll. Yum.

Then we moved on to Sweets Cupcakes in Worcester. We enjoyed a delicious desert and conversation, followed by ordering some cupcakes to go. :) I will certainly enjoy THAT tomorrow!!! :)

The best part for me is just the talking. I love talking with them. I love getting all caught up on what's going on with Kmae. And tonight she even told me that she's already planning her first trip to visit us when we "don't move" to Utah. LOL (we aren't moving according to Kmae. We are only putting every scrap of our belongings in a truck so we can clean the carpets in the house.)

It hammers it home a little more that we really are going. This wasn't a good-bye dinner, not by any stretch!!! It just makes me realize how much I will miss certain people. I never felt this way leaving California, and while I felt a good tug when I left Tennessee, I was hurting so badly, I NEEDED to get away. But this is SO different. I have some very close friends here.

Thank goodness this is the age we live in at least! I have the internet, facebook, email, and a healthy cell phone plan to keep in touch with. :)

I'll miss my friends here, yet I still look forward to the move, and making new close friends in Utah! :)

Not so exciting day

Today was a not so exciting day.

All seven kids are sick. It snowed at least a good 4-5 inches overnight from Friday to Saturday and continued a light snow all day Saturday. Church was canceled because of the snow. :(

BFF and I finally dug out the cars and asked her DH to get the snow blower and do the driveway so we could get out after the plows came by. We needed more medicine for the kids and coffee creamer for us for tomorrow.

We ended up going for quite a drive, found an unexpected store that we were glad to find, enjoyed a small coffee shop and bought sushi for dinner for everyone. While we were getting sushi and a quick run to the store in the same parking lot the snow really picked up again and I made BFF start driving again. California girl here is still a little leary of driving in snow.

We are expecting another 5-8 inches of snow tonight, I know just since BFF's DH snow blowed the driveway there's been at least another inch or more, and now the wind is absolutely HOWLING outside. I hate howling wind. But I am trusting God will see me through it and keep us with power and heat tonight. :)

Hope you all had a fun day.
