A Pattern of Words

Just two girls who, despite distance and differences and busy-ness and life, keep a flourishing friendship going throughout the years. Whether it’s bonding over headstands, escaping to Mexico with their spouses, or spending hours thrifting together, it’s always fun to see these two together.

Apparently the first time G ever saw my husband (she missed out on our wedding due to attending another wedding that same weekend) was when he ambled into V’s yard (in the hi-vis safety vest he used to wear when walking to work) and began rummaging through their compost bin to make sure they were turning it correctly (classic V). She almost called the cops on him.

When she saw him during this trip, she squealed and ran to hug him. L (Vik’s oldest) was properly bemused and asked why she was so excited to see him. V explained that G really likes him and enjoys hanging out with him. “Well, then why didn’t she marry him!?” L demanded. (our kids are still very much trying to understand the nuances of how and why marriages happen).
