Kerri

My sweet friend, Kerri, was over in San Diego while we were in Oceanside. I wanted to see her so badly but I was with all of the Simonton's and she was with all of her family. I was so excited when she called and said she was going to the Oceanside Pier one day. I was so excited to see her.

We worked together for years at Belden. We both were pregnant at the same time and had our boys within a couple of months of one another. I had Hayden. She had twins, Tanner and Tyler. We went through all of the working mom trials together. We laughed when I went into a business meeting with spit up down my back and another time with moshed banana on my skirt. We comforted one another with sick kids and were the greatest supports as we navigating being new moms together. Kerri and I formed an incredible friendship. I still consider her one of my dearest and best friends today.

Problem is....we live about two or more hours away from one another. It makes it hard to get together very often. But when we do, we pick back up like not a day has passed since we last chatted.

Our husbands were good sports and sat and listened while we reminisced, discussed the upcoming school year, talked of different challenges we were having and the incredible blessings in our lives. I could have talked to Kerri all day. I loved each and every moment that we laughed together.

I will make sure to catch up with Kerri and not let years pass before our next visit. It was definitely one of my highlights of my vacation getting to spend time with her. Thankfully some friendships were made to be forever friendships. Mine and Kerri's, definitely a friendship to last a lifetime!
