Today I met up with my good friends Rhys and Lee for the first time in 2010, and it was great. These are my longest known friends, I’ve known Lee forever as we grew up in the same area, went to the same schools and got on well. I’ve known Rhys since the first year of comprehensive school when he joined my form class.
Since school we’ve all done very different things, Lee joined the army and has been really successful and has been lucky enough to travel to various places around the world. Rhys has studied law and he too has been very successful. He’ll soon be a barrister – something he’s wanted since the day I met him.
It was great to hear everyone’s news about what they’ve been upto and what they are set to do, and just to enjoy each others company for a few hours. It’s made me more determined to travel around more to see everyone more often. I’m going to try and get to London before our next baby is due in May as I know that when the baby is here it’ll be a little more difficult to plan best times as everything will be around baby.
Speaking of baby everyone commented on how small Rachel was considering she only has 10 weeks to go until she gives birth. Hopefully now she will believe that she is slim and will always be beautiful to me.
I can’t wait for the next baby to arrive, to have another addition to my wonderful little family. Finlay is amazing and just makes me smile with just the thought of him, I can’t imagine that feeling doubled, but that’s what it’ll be like seeing my two children, holding them in my arms and seeing them smile back at me. I feel pretty damn good already just trying to imagine it.
So I guess you’re probably starting to realise that I value family and friendship above most things in life, as long as I have those I’ll always have happiness so no matter what I do in life I can always feel successful for having the best family and friends that anyone could possibly have.
It’s 22:20 as I write this now and I am sat in bed. Everyone else is quietly asleep and this is my time when I reflect on everything. Life’s good, I’m one of the lucky ones. I’ll sleep well tonight.
Good night all, sweet dreams x
