Two of my very good friends sent me a surprise in the mail the other day. I got a strange email telling me to go to DO [my old office] to pick up a package. I should have known they’d do something crazy. These two girls…big hearted, mischevious and beloved friends…who I miss SO much. I spent hours a day [for years] next to these two creative minds…designing, dreaming, celebrating each other’s successes, and even torturing ourselves over the projects we hated. We shared ideas and had crazy nights out dancing and acting like nuts. Instant friends and confidants from the moment we met…and that’s hard to find in the competitive interior design world. We planned our weddings together. Did life together. And everything is different now. They both moved away, on to bigger dreams. And I left the design world for my dream…{thegoralife}…these 3 beautiful babies and my rock star husband :). I know we’re all happy where we are. But I still miss those days. Such sweet memories. Such good friends. So I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised by this unexpected and over the top delightful gift.
They called it a “baby” gift. But I’m pretty sure it’s more for ME than baby Rage…lol. Most people don’t even know how amazing this gift is. I guess you sort of have to be into interior design or modern furniture and architecture to get it. And I’m POOR. Like dirt poor after Derek’s dance with death. So fancy designer objects do not make their way into our house. So this really means a lot to this Momma. Thank you my lovelies. My jaw is still on the ground.
