I have that warm fuzzy feeling, and I hope it doesn't go away anytime soon.
I love making new friends. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with Arrora on Saturday, chatting and arranging to meet. We have so many little quirks in common, it's scary. She's the only other person I've met who eats frosting straight from the can for a chocolate fix.
So...yesterday I made the trek up to Buena Vista. It's such a pretty drive. Got there early, per usual for me. We chatted a little, then went to church, which was NOT as boring as she thought it was. We giggled through church, which I'm sure was not reverent, but oh well. ;-)
After church (3 hours? I admire people who do that every week) we hung out, I showed Arrora and her hubby my scrapbooks, which they were excited to see, then I saw their wedding pictures and the album from her husband's mission, which was cool. Arrora made the yummiest enchiladas I've ever eaten, and I went home stuffed.
She's going to come visit me later this week. :-)
I'm so happy to have an actual real-life friend my age living so close to me. I'm tired of hanging out with neighbors, who are all aged 50+.

Talked to Rob for a bit on the phone this morning. He's such a sweetheart. We talked a bit about what's been going on with him, some problems at work, and how much we miss each other (as usual).
Then...we started talking about kids. I think we're about to the stage where we feel "ready." So we decided that after he gets back, if he won't be deployed again by the end of his enlistment and we'll be living together, we'll start trying. I can put off working for a few years until the kids are old enough for school. I detest being a housewife, but maybe having kids will make it different. Who knows? Not like any decisions can be made right now, because we're not sure what the future holds. If I'm employed, kids will be put of another year or 2. So we will just have to wait and see.

Met my MIL and SIL today for lunch. SIL was in visiting from England and leaves tomorrow, so it was nice to see her before she left. She's my favorite of Rob's siblings, such a sweetheart. We exchanged e-mail addresses, so we will be e-mailing now, I'm sure.
I'm on cloud 9, I've had such a good past few days. Let's hope this feeling stays...
