Yesterday I guess I got a call from one of my good friends Claire. Ty answered the phone for me since I was sleeping and told her that he would have her call me when I woke up. I woke up an hour or two later and found out that she was in Elk City and they were staying at the Hampton Inn out by I-40 and Walmart. She had called because she was bored sitting in the hotel room alone while her husband CJ was working and wanted to know if she could come by with her 2 year old daughter so she could play with the twins while Claire and I visited and spent time together. I was super excited to get to spend time with my “Claire-Bear”!
The last time Claire and I had spent time together was back in November, she came to the hospital to see us when Ty had his accident at work and had to have surgery on his wrist. Claire and I used to work together when we lived in Alva. We quickly became good friends and have remained good friends. Her husband has moved his business from Ponca City to Elk City, and they will more than likely be moving down here after she has their new baby boy in April. CJ has also been talking to Ty about getting his CDL and coming to work for him too, which would be a good move for us financaily and we wouldn’t have to move again from Elk City.
Claire came by the house and visited with us for about an hour or two, and then went back to the hotel with plans to come back today. She came back today, and I had a box of hair dye and needed to redo my hair. Because my shoulder is broken, I haven’t been able to do it myself, and Ty is hopeless when it comes to women’s hair. So I didn’t dare ask him, who knows how it would have turned out. CJ was here with her and their daughter for a while too, then he had to head out to work for a couple hours. So Claire and I went and did a little bit of girl time hitting some of the stores and I showed her around Elk City a little bit.
I really hope that they move here, I have been fairly lonely since we moved to Elk City. I have my friend Gypsey, who was my neighbor at the apartments that we used to live in, and I have been making friends with other ladies at church. Having Claire here would be amazing though, her daughter plays so well with the twins and they would be able to have their friend to play with again as well! I have really missed my friend and look forward to spending time with her again.
