Cheri Time

I went and spent some time with my good friend Cheri last night, it doesn't happen as often as we'd like it to but busy schedules are busy schedules. It was really good to see Cheri again. I never leave Cheri's house feeling tense or anxious, we really bring out the relaxed person in each other. I also LOVE being around a functional family, they're not many that I know of so time with one is great.

Her husband was out of town and he called to talk to his wife and daughter. Cheri put him on speaker and it was just so good to listen to all the love in the conversation. It's really fun for me to see what a good husband Brandon is, when we were in high school he was so hyper and mischievous that I always felt bad for his future wife. I thought trying to keep up with him and keep him out of trouble would be difficult for his future spouse but he's proved my theory to be wrong. He's a wonderful husband and a very loving father. Being around them gives me hope for my future.

Aysia is the sweetest little girl. She's two and she speaks with so much clarity. She sang me her ABC's and it was adorable. Cheri told me that she also sings "I am a Child of God." I thought Aysia would have forgotten who I was since I've been away for so long but when I walked in she got all excited to see me. When I told her that I missed her she said, "Miss you" and my heart just melted. She kept telling me she loved me as well. We went to the store and I was carrying her, she kept telling me that she picked her nose and tried to show it to me. It was so funny.

I really needed this time with Cheri since I've been so down lately. Hopefully we'll get to hang out again really soon.
