my christmas dinner!

ahhh i can't believe i drove last night... i mean after two days of snow and freezing rain you'd think nobody would be dumb enough to be out last night... nobody but me of course.. i had places to go... beautiful people to see! haha and i had to be there for them to see me! it was my annual christmas dinner last night and although some didn't make it a lot of people did! and it was so great to see them... and it's so great to see their commitment to our friendship! we went to moxie's and it was so fun!... everyone was laughing and talking and sharing how things have been since summer and ahhhh i just love my friends so much... and they are just so thoughtful it brings tears to my eyes how much we all really love eachother! my friends are some of the most selfless and thoughtful people! ohh i'm so fortunate! i'd have to say that the best part of the night was when we were all taking pictures... i can't wait for everyone to send me a copy! everyone was so beautiful last night! i mean... everyone's hair was so beautiful
and my friend esther was wearing the most exquisit pair of trousers! sooooooooooo nice... her wonderful boyfriend bought them for her! haha. i think i was most touched by my friend sobia's "surprise" she and my really old friend found out a few weeks ago that they both knew me... and it was sobia's surprise to invite my old friend that i've kinda lost touch with to the dinner too but of course the weather was a complete mess so my old friend couldn't come. but just the thought of surprising me like that touched me beyond words... it was so amazing of her! you never really think that the cliche means anything until something like this happens to you and you realize... that thinking of something so wonderful as that is really at the heart of the gift!... it really is the thought that counts!

earlier that evening my friend apryl came over to do some europe trip planning... and she again amazed me with her thoughtfulness... i love apryl! she got me a charm watch/braclet and then wrote me a letter explaining why she chose each charm! i was brought to tears as is read the letter! i just love her so much! and it's really friends like apryl that you never ever forget and never lose touch with cuz they are so priceless!

i have the best friends in the world!
