April 10

It feels like we're on a train that's moving at breakneck speed toward graduation season. But I'm trying to gradually complete tasks in order to keep myself feeling marginally sane. So given that Abby graduates in one month (a month! Four years goes by in half a blink) I called her restaurant of choice in Wheaton this morning to make grad night dinner reservations. Check!

And then after I loaded Brady up with cleaning supplies (because he told me he wanted to work on his bathroom sink again), I headed out to have breakfast at Jim's with Nikki and Pam.

I had a great time sitting in a little booth with them (even if Nikki did sneak her way into paying the bill... you've declared war, bestie!). We ate and talked about what's been going on in our respective lives. 

Although the food is top notch (and I recommend the Doug omelet, if you like bacon!), the biggest blessing of the experience was time with two wonderful, intelligent ladies. So for that, I am thankful, because good friends are often hard to find.
