Over the weekend I had a nice and much needed mini vacation. Friday morning I traveled from DC to Boston to be reunited with my best friend, Jaz, for a baby shower her family was throwing for her. ~A little back story her family was originally from Boston and then they moved to Maryland when Jaz was in elementary school. They moved back to Boston about three years ago and now Jaz lives in Chicago with her fiance Malcolm. ~ The last time I saw Jaz was in January for New Years Eve but I hadn't seen her family since we were in high school. Her family was literally like my second family because we have mirror imaged families. Both of our dads work at night, we both have parents who have been married for over 20 years, her older sister is the same age as my sister (they graduated high school together), me and my best friend are the same age, our younger brothers are the same age, and she and her siblings are older than me and my siblings by only a few months. At first I was worried that I was not going to be able to go because I had a few bills to take care of right around the time I needed to purchase my plane ticket and I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it but the day before I purchased my ticket my mom called me excited telling me that a leftover dentist bill from my wisdom teeth surgery ended up being covered by our insurance after all....man if that wasn't God's perfect timing then I don't know what is, long story short I ended up being able to use the money I planned on using to pay that dentist bill for my plane ticket. GOD IS GOOD!
The entire weekend we were in Boston I had such a great time with my Jaz, Malcolm, and her family. The baby shower they threw for her was so amazing and filled with love. This is their first child and already he is so blessed by the amount of things everyone has given them it was so amazing to be apart of it. I helped Jaz's mom with the baby shower games and the night before Jaz and I put together the party favor (we are both big art nerds, we love anything that has to do with art or being creative). I loved finally being able to meet the rest of her family that I have always seen pictures of or heard stories of. I am really excited because in August I will be flying to Chicago once Jaz has Xavier and help out her and Malcolm for a week. The friendship and bond that Jaz and I have is indescribable, I love that girl so much and even though we went from being able to see each other everyday growing up to know only being able to see each other a few times a year I am still so grateful to have her as my best friend, she really is my other half. Our friendship was never broken even after being separated by states. I would have loved to been able to stay out in Boston for an extra day but we all had to fly back home yesterday. Our weekend together was short but it was definitely so sweet.
