2004- Married, no kids. I meet my new visiting teaching companion- a sweet Hungarian girl- also newlywed- who had lived in the US for a few months. She speaks a little English, I speak no Hungarian. I leave a plate of cookies on her basement apartment doorstep and a friendship is born.
2006- Her first baby is born. My first baby is born. We become mothers, and swap stories of diapers, nursing, and sleep.
2007- Our kids love each other. We play together all the time- making American recipes, Hungarian recipes, snowflakes and crafts.
2008-Another year of fun. She has another baby.
2009- I have another baby. I move away from Utah.
2010-We visit when we can.
2011- She brings her baby girl to meet my baby girl.
Poor Emma! This is the only picture I got of just the two girls together all weekend. We had a great weekend full of stories, cooking, chatting and walking. Her English is great, and I can finally say words like "gomba", "csalad", and "kokos kotska" (although I can't spell them!)
Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold. I'm so grateful to have a great friend like Bea.
