October 20

I first met Taylor during the spring 2016 baseball season. A boy she nannies for --who happens to be the son of another friend-- played on the same team as Isaac, so we spent quite a few afternoons just shooting the breeze at practices. But we only recently started meeting for coffee, and it must be said: this girl is awesome. (Gold, really. Definitely not silver.)

She's just a teensy bit younger than me (*cough*) and we're in very different places in life and she's the tiniest bit crazy (*cough again*), but she's something of an old soul and it's a lot of fun to just sit and talk with her. For hours.

I don't know that I expected to find a friend in her back when we first started chatting, but I'm so thankful that I did.
