One of those friends is Uncle Ron. He has been friends with Poppa since their first day of military. They actually met at the airport on the way to boot camp! Uncle Ron is Veronica’s Godfather, he is the reason we named her that and the reason her nickname is Ronnie. Our kids love Ron and his wife and since they had kids our children now have extra cousins. Get togethers are always fun so we were so excited when they invited us to spend New Years day with them. We packed up the van and traveled a quick 3 hours to be there. Coincidentally, Uncle Ron’s is one of the few places we will let the kids sleep over (we decided when we started having babies that sleep overs were not going to happen, we are protective of our children and unapologetic about it) and when we announced that the boys could stay the night, they were jubilant.
Good friends, friends with whom you can just laugh and not worry about what they may or may not be thinking of you, are what makes life sweet. We were only able to spend one day (which is hard to do because we are all so busy and we know it may be a while until we see each other again) but are already looking forward to get together again sooner than later. It was a wonderful way to start a new year.
