And no, not the movie. When I moved to Utah my senior year of high-school, I made some best-friends (and they still are!) When I started going to what we LDS people call a singles-ward (it is a ward for those in a specific area that are all single and are under 32 or 33, not sure which) I made two AMAZING friends. Oddly enough, one also grew up on the East Coast (she is my bestie Jennie) and the other was my best friend Bryan. I still remember falling asleep (along with Jen and Bryan) on Bryan's Mom's massive family room couch, and waking up at 5 am and Jen and I driving home. There were NEVER romantic feelings, just pure friendship (the coming home at 5 turned to 2 am after a couple of months, because my Dad asked that I could please come home at least before he got up at 4, so he did not have to be worry about me lying dead in a ditch somewhere. Sorry Dad!!!) Bryan is an amazing dancer. A lot of our activities were finding some dance to attend (have I ever mentioned I LOVE to dance, and with a great dancer, can move pretty well!) Bryan was there for all my guy woes, and really cheered Mike and I geting together. (I also loved that my best guy friend also drove a convertible, lot's of fun there!) After Lilly passed away, Mike and I went to his work party and Bryan was there to teach dance moves. After the instruction, I danced a ton with Bryan, and all of Mike's co-workers kept asking Mike if that guy (Bryan) knew that I was married. Mike chuckled and just told them Bryan had been there long before he was. Today, the last of my best friends got married. We barely know his sweet wife, but we know already tht we will love her, because Bryan does (recent events have made for a crappy social life!) I want to wish amazing luck to Bryan and Rebecca! I am grateful that so many blind dates did not work out, and that he is able to find what the rest of us have found, pure and amazing love! (What is odd, is that I really only have three more weddings to attend: my adopted sister Mags, my own little sister, and Mike's little brother.)
P.S. You know I will be on the phone first thing Monday morning to learn if anything more is known about us bringing little C home, this week. Also, there is some talk of our cute little niece coming home maybe this week. I think C and Gracie are in a race to see who gets to come home first!
