Codi and I have been friends since 7th grade French class. Yes, that was many, many years ago. I'm not quite sure how we went about becoming friends, since I'm not generally one to be nice to people, but we did and have remained friends ever since. Codi's family moved after 7th grade but we've always managed to stay in touch. It seems, that we would run into each other downtown, or manage to get together once a year or so for dinner at the Rio Grande. Codi is one of those really great friends that you manage to find a couple of in your life. One of those friendships that no matter how long it's been since you have seen each other or talked , once you get together, it's just like old times.
We also shared some similar experiences over the last year or so. Codi found out she was pregnant not too soon after I found out I was. We comiserated with each other over the phone and through e-mail quite a bit. Codi and her sweet little baby however, unfortunately ran into some problems and little Lucy was born very early and very tiny. Both of us had challenges in our pregnancies and both of us had babies that spend time in the NICU. Lucy has Elliott beat though with 78 days to his 10. The time at the hospital hasn't slowed Lucky down however, and she's doing great now and is just about the cutest thing you'll ever see!
I'd been putting off visiting Codi and Lucy (and Blake. Yes, they do have a dad whom I've also been friends with since 7th grade) because Lucy was so tiny and Elliott is such a giant slobering, grumpy fool. However, we finally got our visit in as we headed in the family truckster to Yellowstone over labor day weekend.
Codi e-mailed me the pictures of our visit today. We'll make sure that our kids are as best good friends as possible since they are only a little over 2 months apart in age. However, there is a bit of a size discrepency between the two of them right now.

What a great post - thank you! These two will be fun friends - and Lucy can't wait to come and watch Elliott play football...in about a year!
