Over President's Day weekend we had one of our college friends stay with us for a couple of days. He works in California now and we hadn't seen him since the summer of 2004. We all had such a great time! Before he came I was planning a trip to Yellowstone one day, but then we decided that was too much hassle and we'd all just rather hang out. So that's what we did. He and my husband rented Metroid Prime Echoes and we all played that and Super Smash Brothers Melee. We went out to eat and we went and played a bit in the snow (since there's no snow where he lives in CA).
Most importantly, though, we laughed. We spent a few hours giggling. I don't even know what all we were laughing at, but whatever it was, it was funny. All three of us realized that we hadn't laughed like that in a long time. Years maybe. It felt good. And it made my husband and I think about how great it is to have friends like that. We haven't made any here at grad school.

Nice post. Its always great to come across old friends. Acts as a wonderful refreshing agent. Happy Blogging.
Peep into my blog on friendship greeting cards for some beautiful e-greeting cards and friendly tips.
sounds like you had a great time! Having good friends is so important -- we haven't really made any yet at our PhD place, either. The lab mates are all very nice, but it's just not the same.
