This past week we celebrated with an old friend. There was, however, nothing to really celebrate -- aside from the fact that it was just simply that time to catch up, reminisce, and gaze around to examine just how our lives have evolved from where our friendship all began. So to us, that's celebrating.
Celebrating friendship! And how that friendship has evolved from younger wild days to babies laughing and screaming together, breastfeeding, and sharing mommy stories. Oh goodness!
And celebrating how our little ones will grow as friends any time we get together to pick right back up where we left off.
These friends of ours -- oh, the places we've been! The things we've seen, have been through together, and have spoken about only happen in a friendship like this. And that includes all of the absolute craziness and ridiculously stupid things we have done together. The college life will do that to ya! Those times just add a little piece of flair to the masterpiece that makes up our friendship.
To witness each other's lives transform into families has also been one of the many pieces of flair that add depth to our masterpiece.
How fun it is to reflect on those times -- drunken nights, memorable vacations, Florida State graduations, engagements, career paths, marriages, pregnancy announcements, and the births of our children whom are still on the way. Baby girl #3 on the way for those folks! And to think of how our future visits with them will go will only be more memorable and crazy as our families expand to add more craziness to the mix. Oh Lawdy, they will be full of excited parents, NO tequila, happy-to-see-each-other-kids who will eventually bicker about nothing that matters, and all of us creating memories. With some of the biggest steps in life taken alongside these friends, there's no turning back now!
Yup, I'm sappy. And sentimental. And somehow I'm able to bring those qualities out of them once in a while in between our crazy, sarcastic, and faux southern-speaking antics.
Hopefully, our babies will feel the same about each other, minus the drunken times and faux-southern accents. Gotta teach them babies right! ;) (which means teaching them better grammar than that last 'sentence')
We're still in the middle of some of life's biggest milestones -- and it's safe to say we are all excited to see where each other end up. And in between our life milestones, we watch each other's babies reach milestones.
Although our lives are strutting along in their own crazy separate pathways, there are so many similarities that keep us moving along together.
Like our hubby's being some of the busiest men we know (yet they still make time to catch up with each other). And we both get lonely at times, so visits to each other are essential. Which is exactly how this past week brought us together. And even though they can be some of the busiest men, we are proud wives, and thankful for all that our hubby's do for us and our babies. Shout out to you wonderful Daddy's :) Even with her husband miles away (and mine leaving soon), she still spoke the words of how "lucky we are to have great husbands who are such good Daddy's." We really are :)
She already gets excited for Daddy to come home from work :)
Cheers to old friends, good friends, and little friends!
