look how far we've come baby!

This is me and my bestie...Nicki.

We grew up together because our mum's were besties.  That's me in the hand knitted pink jumper and the blonde is my mate Nicki.  We grew up together but went to different schools then moved further away from each other, but no matter what we had the foundations of a solid friendship. One that endures months without even a phone call, but then nights spent laughing hysterically and doing all things together.   She is the Godmother to my first born.

The other day we were off on an impromptu visit to the Finder's Keepers Market.  There was loads of traffic.  It took me an hour to drive 7kms!  So we chatted... about my kids, her niece and nephew, my husband, her partner, my job, her job, my family, her family and then she dropped a bombshell.  My mate Nicki bought her first house!!!!  A real house, with a backyard, a bungalow, and cute little lace curtains.....and only a few minutes from mine!  We've already allocated a craft room!

Wow...baby....Look how far we've come!

It's gone from a childhood friendship to so much more. And it's moments like these that I realise we're totally grown up now.

When did you realise that you were all grown up?
