I'm also 4 hours away from my bestie and hardly ever see them. we try to make an effort to do a yearly trip but who knows if it'll happen this year or next cuz we're both super busy. I miss the youthful days when we could just be like "Vegas? this weekend? yeah? yeah. pick you up Friday after work."  

 Life happens. We talk about how when our kids are grown and we have a little more free time, it'll be easier, but I enjoy the time we have now, too.
