3.3.2009: Girl Talk

There's just nothing like good girlfriends. I don't know if guys have an equivalent, or if they even need one, but I love having a network of girls to go to for advice or support or laughs. Tuesday morning started with an early coffee with a dear friend who just found out that a monumental struggle in her family's life was over - her husband got a fellowship in DC and they are moving. They have both been in grad school and had two babies and she has been working three jobs, so the idea of having a stable income and time for her dissertation brought us both to tears. We had such a great talk about love and marriage and our own hopes and dreams. How lucky I am to have a friend like that. And she's not the only one. Holy smokes, I am blessed.
