Chelsea, thanks for letting me be "the favorite" for a few more minutes. I appreciate it so much. *hug*

Men in my life.
Mar. 11th, 2006 11:18 pmI received a letter from my dear friend Clayton a few days ago, and my heart was lifted to hear from him. He's in Iraq right now, and I have all the contents of a care package sitting in a box right next to my washer for him, but I wanted to make sure that the address I had was the correct one. Yesterday afternoon, I received a sweet message on my answering machine from his wife Bre, thanking me for remembering him right now (I'd emailed her to make sure everything in the package was good to mail). I'm going to make some fresh cookies tomorrow to stick in the box along with everything else, and then we'll get this off on Monday.
Such a special guy, he is. We have a unique friendship, and I really hope to meet him and his family one day.
I also spoke to another unique friend on the phone last night when Brian called me. We've talked on the phone many, many times now, and each time is such fun. That's another dude I really hope to meet in person one day.
I love my LJ friends. And I love LJ correspondence. :-)

Surprise call!
Nov. 25th, 2005 02:44 pmAwwww! Gretchen just called me! She called me to tell me that they were on I-29, just passing the exit that would lead them to Bellevue, and they were waving. No time to stop, but she wanted to let me know that she was thinking of me. I was outside hanging lights on the stakes, and I waved back into the blue at her. :-)
I love surprise calls.

Bright spots.
Aug. 4th, 2005 12:40 amTonight, two people had the idea to call me during the time that the videotape was airing on TV. The first was the Bri, and he called me on my cell phone just as I was leaving the house to go get a gallon of milk. I'd meant to do it much earlier in the day, and his phone call really helped to subside my fears about going back out while it was dark. I sat in the mini-market parking lot talking to him on the phone for so long that A.J. fell asleep in the car, even. He is so very easy to talk to, and he sounds so remarkably like Randy that it's uncanny - must be the 'brain' part in both of their usernames. ;-)
When I returned home, I had a message on the answering machine from my friend Chris. She had called just minutes before 10pm with the intent to talk me through the news program - so that I wouldn't just be sitting there twiddling my thumbs and waiting for it to be over, especially since I wasn't watching it. I called her back at just after 10:30, and we talked for almost 2 hours. I was just so touched by both Brian's and Chris's kindness in thinking of me tonight during the newscast. :-)
