Amy actually made it out to visit us this past week! We thought she'd be able to come visit last month but she couldn't get on a flight. When I received the text that she was on the plane and coming my way Monday afternoon I literally started giggling and dancing around. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this but, if you didn't know, Amy is my best-friend-who-is-a-girl-and-not-related-to-me. Long title, I know but Branden is my best friend as well and I also have some awesome siblings so... :)
Amy got here Monday evening and, I won't lie to you, I was so excited that I got to the airport a whole hour early and sat there reading my book until she arrived. We got semi-lost but we managed to find something for dinner AND get to Branden's work in time to share that dinner with him on his break. Afterward, I took Amy across the Mississippi River so that she could add Illinois to the list of states she's been in. We stayed up entirely too late that night but it was worth it.
Tuesday Amy and Branden went to some of Branden and my favorite specialty markets while I was at work. They had a great time and both stocked up on some of their favorite Asian treats. After I got home, the three of us went out to dinner and to the casino. We had a good time and when the time came to head home I wasn't quite ready so we went to the store to pick up a cheesecake. Amy and I might have been a little tired because we were laughing our heads off and Branden thought we were insane... It's been SO LONG since I've laughed like that. It was just what I needed right then. Amy and I stayed up too late once again, though not as late as we used to when we were roommates.
On Wednesday I made chocolate chip pancakes for Amy. Branden had some things he had to deal with so Amy and I went to the Gateway Arch without him. We wished he could have come but it was also nice to have that whole afternoon just the two of us girls. On our way home, I got a phone call from Chantelle who put me on speaker phone while James read his mission call to the family. He's going to Buenos Aires, Argentina!!! Amy and I made dinner for the three of us and once again stayed up later than we should have.
Yesterday morning we all got up earlier than usual. Branden took Amy to the airport while I headed off to work. Is it any wonder that I'm completely worn out today? It was worth every minute of missed sleep, though. We had a great time and I'm so glad that I got a chance to spend time with my other best friend. :)

That is awesome!! I can attest to the fact that sometimes we need that (i.e. the staying up entirely too late, girlfriends who understand as well as if not more than the guys we love..) when times are tough (or crazily repetitive..). On another note, I cannot believe that James is old enough to be going on a mission already!! Seriously...
