Friends!

Love these girls!

We had such a fun day/night together! Just like we saw each other yesterday. We all met at lauren's house for a day IN the pool. It was wonderful to catch up. We swam, layed out, and of course ate lots of great food. What we do best! After pool time we had a little surprise baby shower for Katie and surprised Mary with gifts at dinner. Its Mary's first (boy!!!!) and Katie's 3rd (yet to know the gender, cant wait to find out!) .

We went to Sambuca, great, love the atmosphere. Good food too! Its just like college days but we are coming from all over these days. From NC, GA, TN, AL, and TX. Funny how spread out we are these days. We ended up just staying up chatting most the night when we got home. So fun. Although conversation is different--junior and senior year of collge seems like our conversation was filled with who will get engaged when, who will move, more boy talk, future weddings, future jobs and more schooling, who will be where in 3-4 yrs and now the conversation has turned. Its babies, marriage, babies names, houses, ect! Crazy how things change, but never really change! Its like we were back in the chi o house! Loved it. Wish we could do it more. Im already ready for our 2nd Annual Girls Weekend....

I love you girls! Missed those of you who couldnt make it...dont worry, next year was discussed and will be here before we know it! =)

Lauren's infamous long arm!

The other days of my long weekend were filled with my sweet little niece. Unfortunately I didnt take my camera out of my purse all weekend. It was on my shoulder all time but yet I failed to get a sweet picture of my favorite ellie bellie! It was great to be home and see the family! Ellie was able to get out "hi mimi"--my name until she can say missy. She is most precious and the sweetest little angle ever!
