Memories Made

Forgive me if this post is a little meandering, I'm slightly buzzed thanks to "Liz Strength Margaritas". Tonight I spent the day with the family of my Bestest Friend. Said BF and I have been friends 2 decades now, and, as I told the hubby on the way home - they're family. Sitting at the table, passing food and reaching across each other, I thought to myself "This really is what it's all about." Life, I mean. It's about eating barbecue chicken around a crowded picnic table with people you've known and loved almost as long as you can remember. It's about the time last week when the Husband, the Baby and I sat on a blanket at the Drive In and ate KFC while we watched the people around us and waiting for the sun to go down, then cuddled up and watched a movie together (well, Eddie fell asleep, but that's good, too). We all have the big moments, the big memories, good, bad, embarrassing, heartbreaking, and life-changing, But today, I had the kind that really makes up our lives, that really matter. Life isn't the big "oo-ah" moments, it's the Liz Strength Margaritas and the splashing in the pool. It's licking your fingers as the previews roll. It's a hug, a silly pun, an IM friend. Go make some memories.
