Friday night...

So, yesterday (Friday) would have been my 5th wedding anniversary but... it wasn't. So, rather than be upset about it alone, I went to Trudy's with some friends. At least when you are upset about something, it seems less important with queso, good friends and a Mojito (or eight).

Sally and Shaunna joined me and it was a nice evening of girl time. Shaunna is living the life of a VERY busy working mom of three. It was nice to catch up with her and her Mexican Martini was well deserved! Even though Sally and I live together, we rarely get time to just chill out together. So, overall, it was an enjoyable evening!! As we chatted about friends, I remembered that my friend Rodrick was in town. I sent him a text message and in true Rodrick fashion, he joined us 20 minutes later!!

Some of you know Rodrick, but those of you that don't... I have known him since high school and was part of the group I ran around with. Within that group, we had a little group of four that were inseparable....  My boyfriend, Joseph, was best friends with Rodrick. My best friend was Kitt and she was dating Rodrick. Did you follow that? :o) I have talked about this before in this blog entry and also in this entry. Our Senior year of high school, Rodrick shocked us all when he joined the Navy! He is still enlisted and has pursued a great medical career within the military. This has sent him all over the world with many years on Navy ships and in Japan. Because of this, we don't get to see him as often as we would like, so when he is home, we take advantage of it! I love Rodrick so much and he holds such a special place in my heart. He just makes me smile the minute he walks into a room. His creative mind and bizarre view on life makes him so unique. There will never be another Rodrick...

He is only here for a couple of weeks. Then his job will send him off again. He told us he will be in Japan again and be there for 2-3 years. I think I may have to take advantage of having a friend living in Japan and go on a trip! Wouldn't that be awesome???

Thank you Sally, Shaunna and Rodrick for making what could have been a very depressing night, a wonderful night of laughs.
