I have a really cool friend named Alisa.
Not only do we share the same name but we both served missions in the Dominican Republic (I was even lucky enough to be her teacher in the
MTC Welfare program). Both of our parents moved to
Danville, CA while we were in our college years. We also both have two children, a boy and a girl. Oddly enough we are both Democrats who support Obama, while our religious culture is primarily Republican.
While we were together this past weekend we also realized that for similar reasons we both refused to have
diamond wedding or
engagmement rings. Somehow we also ended up both living in Texas for a few overlapping months.
Having so many things in common with
someone like her makes me feel validated.
Thanks for being my friend Alisa.
Max and Maya loved the attention they got from David and Mary. The also loved their dog and cat. Every time Maya would see the dog she would start barking like she was trying to carry on a conversation with him.
