New Friend...

I guess I met a new friend today. Her name is Katie. Katie lives on the block behind me. Yesterday I was out with the kiddos enjoying the gorgeous day. I was on the other side of the street and she called out to me as I was walking by.

"Hello over there!" She yelled out to me.
I waved back and said "Hello!"

Now let me regress a minute. I do think that things happen for a reason, and I do think that people come into your life for certain reasons. So I find the way this worked out to be interesting.... Today the kiddos and I set off for our walk going the complete opposite direction of our walk yesterday. I make this walk a shorter version of our usual route due to having had a c-section only 4 weeks ago. I am not supposed to "exercise" for 6 weeks, and well I know it is just a walk, but compared to what I did during my pregnancy... this IS exercise for me. lol.

Anyhow, as we are heading back to the house, I realize that I am not even starting to feel tired from the walk, and I am trying to build up my endurance so that I can quickly get back to an active lifestyle. So I decided to pass by my house and keep on walking. As I do this, I do start to feel a bit tired, and Maddie decides to get fussy. So, I turn down the block behind my street and start to head home. It didn't even occur to me that I was heading down the same street I had walked yesterday. Well, I happen to walk right past Katie's house and she happens to be out gardening. She has 3 gorgeous boys. They are 4,2, and 9 months. We actually talked for a while, and find out we have a lot of view points in common. (I also noticed a McCain/Palin sticker on her vehicle which made me like her even more- not that I would let political differences affect my relationships anyhow. But it felt good since I think out of all my friendships most everyone else is a fan of Obama, and it felt good to have that in common with someone.) Anyhow, before I continued my walk home, she asked me for my phone number.

I guess it was friendship at first sight, ha ha.
