Ericksons to the Rescue

What's a best friend? Let me tell you....
*when you call her from the car on the way to Olympia to visit your Grandmother on the Friday of memorial day weekend when it's pouring down rain and you're stuck in horrific traffic, she looks online at the Traffic Cams to see what your road ahead looks like
*when you call her back 20min later because it's still not getting better, she re-checks them for you
*when you call her again, almost in tears, because your two kids are screaming in the backseat because they've been stuck in the car for an hour and half and they are bored and hungry, and you've realized there is no way you're going to actually make it to Olympia, she offers to have you come over
*she also offers to have her husband bring you lunch since he's bringing home some for her
*when you get to her house she helps entertain your kids
*she makes the day feel like it was a total success, even though your plan for the day failed, because you got to see her and her girls...
Seriously...she's the BEST!

This is so sweet Rach...but really I couldn't imagine not doing those things. ;) I am so glad I was lucky enough to be the stopping point in your crazy day. Love you!
