July 11

After exchanging a flurry of texts earlier this week, Nikki and I went to dinner tonight. There are lots of great restaurants in the area to choose from, but we ultimately went with Pastas downtown (because Italian is always a good idea).

Anyway, the food was good, and the company was even better. We don't get together often of late because the day to day busy-ness of life gets in the way, but I love and am grateful for our easy --and long-term-- friendship. 

She is a rare treasure, and I am thankful for the moments of reconnection that we share.
