Friends

Well, as most of you are aware we are spending a week with Jakob's family for Thanksgiving and his birthday. We started the weekend with a visit with Jakob's good friend Russell and his family. We had lunch, visited with Russell's parents (who adore Jakob), and doted all over Russell's little girl.

I got to see a different side of my husband as he became comfortable in memories of his past, and caught up with an old friend. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend time with him and his family, and see Jakob get to reconnect with people from his life that meant so much to him. We even have plans to go watch Russell's rugby practice while we're in town.

We also took some time to have dinner with my cousin Sarah and her fiance Bryan. There was lots of conversation about the craziness of life, and Jakob and Bryan talked mostly about civil service. I'm glad I got to spend some time with her and getting to see a little of her life now. I have missed her terribly these last ten years, but as we age and mature, life's little things seem to take all the free time that exists. Good news is we should be seeing them again next summer for their nuptuals.

Needless to say, we still have a couple friends and family members to visit with, but overall the week is shaping up to be a great trip!
