It started with a quick gmail conversation about cheesecake. Specifically, ideas to help enhance a caramel apple cheesecake that Amy and I are both making for Thanksgiving. White chocolate chips -- mini or original size? Extra cinnamon? A combination of graham cracker, ritz cracker, and animal cracker crust? Cheesecake muffins - bake with paper baking cups or rely on good old Pam? Both cheesecakes have turned out looking successful, though the final verdicts will be known at some point tomorrow after copious amounts of other Thanksgiving deliciousness have been consumed. While I am overwhelmingly thankful for cheesecake (and really, who isn't?), the gmail conversation turned into an hour and a half long phone conversation with my best bud in New Jersey. We chat every once in a while, but between school, work, the different time zones, and well, just life getting in the way, we don't get to catch up as much or as frequently as we'd like. I am so thankful that this evening we got to catch up on so much. It was incredible talking without a deadline to keep in the back in our minds, an upcoming homework assignment that needs to be finished, or how the time is passing and getting closer to when our alarms will go off. We even got to share a glass of wine together during our phone call! Today I toast to friendships that last 30 years (and more) and to friends who, even across 1755 miles can finish each others sentences.
