Great friends...

Here is the promised post of the great time we had with my friends the last two weeks...

My best friend from high school, Jenny, along with her husband Jeff, helped another set of friends, Katie and her husband Nic, move across country from Boston back to California. They were nice enough to take a slightly southern detour into Texas to spend a few days visiting us!! We had such a wonderful time with them! We girls had a great time cooking a meal all together. One thing I love about spending time with these friends is that they always make me laugh--what fun!

Best friends--always!!!

The last part of my friend extravaganza was when one of my best friends from college, Dara, and her daughter Brianna came to visit for a long weekend. She was even nice enough to leave her little boy Riley and husband Brian at home so we could have a girls weekend! I really feel so lucky to have such great friends that are willing to come all the way to Texas to spend time with me!

Dara, Brianna, and I had so much fun--we went to the waterpark, a big flea market, swam in our little pool, and went to Sam Moon (a great purse store)! Fun girl time--poor Justin, who had to work most of the time!! Here are some pictures from their time here.

Brianna and Betsy are best buddies--I think Betsy played fetch with Brianna more in those four days than she has in years!! =)
Such a cutie pie!

I can hardly believe what a little lady Brianna is. She will be 6 in December, and it just amazes me how much she has changed since the last time I saw her! She was born just 7 days before I got married, so I can hardly believe she is starting kindergarten next week! It goes so quickly--I know if will feel like just a blink and our little Jonathan will be starting kinder, too! Time sure flies! Thanks everyone for coming to visit us--I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciated it!!!
