I was at the store about a week ago, and I saw the mother of childhood friends. They lived 1/4 mile up the road from me, in Rogue River, OR. SHe told me that their family moved to Bonners Ferry. Now I have a friend that I have known since I was nine years old. We lost touch when I was 20, and moved to Portland.
I went to visit her yesterday, almost broke down crying, and had a great time. She has two kids, three dogs, a wonderful husband, and is a personal trainer. SHe is going to help me with weight loss! I'm so happy! It's so crazy that we both ended up here. Bonners Ferry is a town of 2500 that is 30 miles from Canada, and 15 from Montana, basically the middle of nowhere.
Her mother is wonderful also, and always worked at a daycare or pre-school, so now I have a babysitter if I want. This is huge because DH and I have never been out alone since Owen was born two years ago.

Do you know? Bonners seems like a place where great things happen to everyday people =) I am so glad that you met back up. Some things are just meant to be!
So happy for you Trish!

Oh Trish, I envy you. Things just seem to be going your way. I always thought that I could lose weight if I had a personal trainer, and get an old friend back what a wonderful thing

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Trish, that's wonderful! I'm really happy that you have such a wonderful, kindred connection from so long ago--and that you can pick up where you left off :) What a great mother's day present!!!!

How nice for the both of you.. My son goes to the gym daily he loves to work out he told me that he met a man there that hates to go, for the most part but he weighed 500 pounds and went to a wedding and a button popped off of his shirt and he was so embarrased, he decided at that moment to start losing weight. I believe it's been over a year so far but my son said that the guy is down to 180 pounds and looks great.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

Although her being a trainer is great, I really am more thankful for her friendship. It is hard to not have any close friends in the area.
