J

We had a lovely dinner tonight with Ari's friend J, her husband and her son.

I mention J because she will always have a very special place in my heart. Last year I was in a car accident. I was in a fairly light jacket, asI was just dropping Ari off at work and then going home. Well, black ice introducing my car to a light post fixed that real quick, and it was -10C at MOST out. J was actually quite coincidentally one of the first people to drive by and see the accident (we were both surprised to recognize each other), and as soon as she recognized me she gave me a hug and an extra coat she had in the car ... both of which were much needed at the time.

Well, now J is expecting her second baby and it was time to return the coat which we have been attempting to give back to her for a year lol (her 'extra coat' was not in use b/c it was a maternity coat - and yes, sadly, it fit). So we had them over, exchanged the coat for some baby gifts, and had a lovely evening visiting.

Not only is J the kind of friend I aspire to be, I hope our little Tyke (thanks Alex for the nickname idea) grows up to be like her little guy H when he's 2. Such a nice family. :D
