i love lunches, brunches, eating, meeting, greeting with friends.  sometimes the world gets so crazy busy but you have to slow down to take some time to connect [that’s what makes life great, friends + family].  on my list, it’s paramount.

people tend to make up excuses on why they don’t have time to connect {too busy with work or blame others for lack of effort}, or just don’t make enough effort themselves.  some people just have different priorities than others.

life can get quite convoluted but i believe in finding the time if an opportunity arises.

i just love ande + matt.  they are such a fun bunch.  get us together and there is never a dull moment!  we are such a ‘type a’ group {our common thread of controlling, clean, organized antics}.  probably the most gregarious combo of peeps anyone would ever witness.   we tend to talk over one another a bit too much but find it so normal to do so.  between the three of us [never one to be succinct], there is never a moment of silence!

every so often, we are able to squeeze in a lunch or a dinner.  the latter is better for us [due to our long winded nature] but lunches will do. although they are just too short!  so, knowing we don’t have a lot of time, we race through our conversations!  we always say we should have the husbands join us [naturally all three of them are the more quiet, reserved types] but only say it because we feel like it’s nice to ‘try’ to include them.

well, there you go…two hours later {and that was our version of a ‘power lunch’}, many topics later, many tasty bites later, we wrapped up our delicious date at the fabulous bongo room {one of my two favorite brunch spots!!!!!!}.  until next time my lovelies!  xoxo
