I'm fortunate to have met some really great women during my time in Massachusetts. Many of my m more recent friend acquisitions are parents of my kids friends, as tens to happen during this phase of life. However, I have some great pre-kid friends who have endured through our changing phases of life. We've shared weddings, funerals, pregnancies and parenting, not to mention to mention job changes, new houses, and looking further back, countless first dates before some of us landed on "the one" These were the ladies I hiked and biked and camped and triathlon'ed and centuried with - back when we all had time for such frivolity! We all hope that one day again soon this will be a regular part of our lives!
The down side, of course, is that life is such that we don't live close enough to get together frequently, though we do manage to get together several times a year - without kids or husbands - and we have a standing playdate for a long weekend in October. This year, we were able to get together, WITH our kids and husbands (and a new love interest for one!) Matt and I were happy to host, and the house worked out just great for this size crowd. The coolest thing was that the kids, even though they see each other 2-3x per year, were very excited to see one another and had a blast!
