Skype

Holy cow. I know I'm super late on the Skype bandwagon but this thing is AWESOME!

See, my husband's best friend is Doug (he has two blogs, Ramblings and Fitness). Doug moved away to Hawaii a few years ago, married an AMAZING woman named Angela (also two blogs, here and here), and works as a fourth grade teacher. He's also a budding triathlete.

Shameless Plug: Donate to Doug! Details HERE. You want a recommendation? This guy is awesome and he's trying to start his triathlon career on a teacher's salary in Hawaii. Any amount will help him register for races and buy proper equipment. He also posts daily about his training and his races. Makes me almost feel guilty about eating ice cream while attempting to write one post per month.

Anyway, back to the real reason for this post. We both have webcams and had made a plan to chat online from time to time. I can tell how much my husband misses this guy because occasionally he'll make a joke that I don't understand even though he's laughing uncontrollably. It is then that I ask him, "Hunny, you miss Doug, don't you?". After several months of talking about chatting we FINALLY synchronized our watches and got the chance to see each other face to face. From thousands of miles away.

And. It. Was. Awesome.

Doug and Angela - so glad to have you two in our lives, and we miss you. Aloha!
