I had intended to do this post a few weeks ago but got a little sidetracked - however, now is better than never so here we go!
We have been pretty amazed at all the connections we have made in Seattle despite the fact that we really didn't have a lot of 'contact' with anyone in the city when we moved here. It is neat for us to reflect on how many people have come into our life here with an interesting story behind the relationship. In our list of connections we have a friend from Calgary's ex girlfriend, good friends of our step siblings, a cousin of one of our small group members back in PA and the list goes on! Here is the story of one of the fun connections we have been able to make since moving back out west!
Back in high school, my good friend Catherine introduced me to her friend Taunia. The three of us spent a good couple of years hanging out together and having a ton fun. However, after high school, Taunia moved to Seattle and I lost touch with her. Catherine however stayed in touch with both of us. Upon finding out we were moving to Seattle Catherine reminded me that Taunia lived here too and helped me hunt her down. Within the first week of arriving here Taunia and I were able to connect and catch up. In fact, I realized we were in a rental only 10 minutes from her place and our little boys were only 3 months apart! Since then, we have been able to get together regularly and our boys have become really good buddies.
A couple of weeks ago, Catherine and her husband Dave came down from Calgary to visit. It was a great weekend where us girls were able to get together with our husbands and kiddos and have a little taste of the good ol' days. It is so nice to be closer to Calgary to be able enjoy these opportunities with friends we were used to seeing only once or twice a year! Funnily enough, between the three couples there are 5 little boys running around (if you count Catherine's two boys who stayed in Calgary and our little guy on the way.) Not a girl in sight for this bunch!
