Who would have thought?!

Here I sit on a Sunday night, with my wonderful hubby beside me, watching Wrestlemania 29!  If someone had told me that this would be something that I look forward to each year, I would have told them that they were crazy!  The fact of the matter is, WWE wrestling is my guilty pleasure :)  I love the insane storylines and the drama...not to mention the hard bodies and sexy men.  I also love how involved the WWE has become in various organizations such as Make a Wish, National Guard, Armed Forces, and the Susan G. Koman Foundation just to name a few!  The philanthropy is amazing and heartwarming!  
I also love watching because it's one more thing that Hugh and I get to share.  Our compatibility is one of the things I love the most about our relationship!  We can simply sit and watch and discuss the outcomes or predict what we think is going to happen.  Strange how something that I watched as a kid simply because it was on TV and I would have lost my life to my brother if I had tried to change it, has become something for me to bond with my husband over!
Well, it's time for one of the biggest matches of the night so I'm off to watch the phenom that is The Undertaker!!!!!

Old Friend

I spent a few minutes Facebook chatting with an old and very dear friend who lives a fair distance away and whom I see much less frequently than I would like.  This brief "conversation" has me missing him like crazy!  We grew up together as next door neighbours.  We have definitely seen each other through some tough times and have always been there for each other whenever necessary.  The funny part is, it wasn't until tonight that I realized just how long we have been a part of each other lives.  
I was basically born in the house that my parents currently live in (we moved in when I was 5 months old) and about 7 years later our new neighbours moved in.  I became instant friends with their daughter, who is a couple of years older than me, and their eldest son was just simply always around.  He was like my younger brother when we were kids.  Once we reached teenaged we spent less time together, but would often run into each other as we were arriving home and sit and chat for a good long time.  In our early 20's when we were both home alone, it was not unusual for us to spend several hours together in the evenings. We would both have to get up for work in the morning and wouldn't be interested in going out but were more than happy to just hang out with the other person.  This is what I miss most!  We would talk about everything and anything.  We shared our hopes and dreams with each other.  Many of his have come true, as have some of mine.  We share these things too during the momentous occasions in our lives and on the rare occasion that we get to see each other.
Tonight he is coming into Ottawa as part of his job...he's living his dream! and I find myself wanting to sit down and catch up with him...just the two of us!  He says that there might be a few spare minutes tomorrow and I am looking forward to the possibility :)
Otherwise, I have suggested that we meet somewhere between here and where he lives and literally just hang out for the day!  I miss doing nothing with him ♥

Only time will tell what's in store for tomorrow, I'm just hoping that it is some time with one of my favourite guys!
