we had a great weekend around here. all of my best friends from college came to town. brita is an opthamology resident in LR, anna works in an infant room, spears is a speech pathologist and works with little ones, steph is an accountant, and effie is a fabulous teacher. safe to say, they are all good with babies :) it was so good to see them and catch up. i miss them so much but when we are together (as cliche as it sounds), it feels like no time has passed and we just pick up right up where we left off. it reminds me of one of the last episodes of SATC.. the part where carrie is having lunch with the girls before she goes to paris and says... "today I had a thought, what if I had never met you?"that part gets me every time... because i think that thought about these friends all of the time. i am who i am because of each one of them.... undoubtedly a better friend, daughter, sister, wife, and now mother because of those lovely ladies. i cant imagine if i had never met them. i am not letting the next year go by without going on a fabulous trip with all of them... even though we are all crazy busy, we are going to set a time to go away for a few days. i want us all to go to vegas, but if you know how wild we all can be (hence, if you knew us in college), im scared it would be similar to the hangover...part 1. :) maybe somewhere a little more low key would be better ;)

so glad they were able to come see us over the weekend and i am already looking forward to the next time we are all together!

have a great week!
