An Irish Surprise

Last night around 7:30 my phone rang... it said Minnesota and some random number on it, but I answered anyways (with all of Jessica's Shower RSVPs coming in, I just expect not to know who's calling me). Someone said hello but nothing else... and I was about to hang up when I hear, "It's Megg!" Yaaaay! This is the first time Megg has called me on the phone since she got to Ireland (a year ago?!) It was so great to hear her voice and we just had a great conversation. I love having good friends that you just connect with instantly even after being apart for so long.

We talked about a conversation she had with her old friend Eric & his upcoming wedding, Krissy's struggle to get pregnant (and Terri's negative influence on that), Emelyn*, Megg's job, life in Ireland, my job, life, love marriage, Megg's upcoming trip to Marsailles! Anything and everything for 45 minutes! It felt like someone reaching out from far far away and giving me a great big hug!

* Cutie Emelyn:











What a great day!

Also had fun playing around with a Red Sox LO before/after the phone call. I didn't come close to finishing even one LO, but I really enjoying the process of it. It was nice to not feel like I HAD to get it done... no schedule, no deadline- just enjoying the fact that I was making it and focusing on what I wanted to say and how I want to line things up. I love it so far, but I know it will come out even better once I focus on it a little more :)
