I'm trying to remain breezy.

BUT I CAN'T!

There is a group of us, five couples, that have been best friends for +15 years.  We used to do everything together. Holidays, vacations, etc.

In December, 2012, two of the girls (A & B) had a fight and stopped speaking to each other.  It really affected everyone because if A was going to be with us, B wouldn't come. If we went out with B, she would not invite A and A was feeling left out. Most of 2013 was spent splitting our time between friends and it SUCKED.

Well, this year for Valentine's Day we decided to have dinner together at A's house. She invited B. B didn't show up. We promised that we would make our friendship a priority and we set up a standing dinner date for once a month.  This is my month to host.

I invited B & her husband.  I told her that A was going to be there and I know their relationship has changed but that we really missed her and her husband and we hoped they would consider joining us for dinner.

She said YES.

This will be the first time A & B have seen each other in more than a year and I'm trying to remain calm and not get overly excited but this might be the healing of this rift that has caused us all a lot of pain.



I am so happy about this I actually teared up.  I'm making spaghetti, Caesar salad, and a super delicious cheesy buttery garlicky bread for dinner and a chocolate cake for dessert.

Even DH is happy about this.  YAY!

What was the fight about?

A called B a "greedy Jew"?

Wow.. what was the fight about that they stopped speaking for a year??

Like most family fights, it was over a stupid misunderstanding.  Friend B holds serious grudges. I mean, I love her, but she still "hates" someone who pissed her off like ten years ago.

Their mothers are sisters and they also aren't on speaking terms, so I think it trickled down to them, in the same way their fight trickled down to us.

That is exciting!

And your dinner sounds amazing.
