This is my Friend Alison, we haven't seen each other in 5 years. But it felt like just yesterday. We met in Boston both of our husbands where in Dental school (two different ones.) It was so fun to see her. We laughed, talked about memories and kids. It just happens that Her 3rd Child and Mine have the exact same birthday and we each have two boys and two girls, all very close in age. She is one of those genuinely sweet people. It was so fun, my cheeks hurt from smile so much. WE both talked about how Boston really help strengthen who we are and our testimony's. Being surrounded by feminist their we learned a lot (of Good things.) I remember being so intimated when I moved their all these sisters who where getting PHD or Masters or had really good career, and I was only a housewife. But I do not anymore feel small because I am a stay at home mom. I'm proud of it. We had some great experiences there. The sisters I was intimitated became some of my friends. One espeically was such a great listener and someone I could just go and talk to. Our ward was really diverse. My testimony grew so much there, I really miss it. I can't really explain the change that took place there, but it was good. I made some good friends there and it is still the place we lived the longest. It was so fun to visit with her.

Your ward there seems like it would have been awesome.
It's wonderful to catch up with old friends. Did she just come to San Diego to visit you?
That is so fun. I love reuniting with people that helped me change for the better. It just feels good.
Awe, Alison! Sounds like you had a great visit. I miss a lot about the good ole Revere 2nd ward too. I enjoyed your perspective about being there.
