A little over a year ago I was at Nancy Boyd Park with the kiddos. We needed an escape from the house and it's a nice park. It's also an unintentionally hilarious park. The first time my sister took my aunt and uncle there, my uncle asked how we could say it with a straight face because he heard "Nancy Boy" Park. Of course I can't hear anything else now. So where were we? Right, Nancy Boy Park. This particular day I was picked up by a mom. It's not what you think, it's more of an inside joke. This mom jokes that she picks up moms at the park. If your kids aren't in school yet, it's not always easy to make new mom friends, but she has made an art of it! We really hit it off and the kids did too. A couple months later, I meet her identical twin sister who I also liked a great deal. In fact, the sister has become one of my bestest bestie friends!
Nikki is my concert buddy.... my confidant... she keeps me real and honest with myself..... she checks in on me. She's the definition of a caring, genuine, true friend. I don't know what I am going to do when she inevitably leaves me. Keep in touch, probably, but it won't be the same.
One lazy Saturday, the kids and I were hanging out with Nikki and My Body started playing from her playlist. We had recently seen Young the Giant at Not So Silent Night and it's also a really fun song. She turned it up and we started singing and dancing around the kitchen. Even Lila joined in. It was everything I love about music. We were caught up in the same moment, signing our hearts out, feeling all of the feels. It's a very happy Nikki and Jen memory, just one of many. I can't wait to hang out with her tonight!
