Time with Friends

While home, Derek and I were lucky to see quite a few of our friends. One of the most challenging aspects of living up here is the lack of social time with our friends. I miss it and need it. Luckily, one of my best friends from Dallas was in town for the Holiday and I was able to meet up with her and another one of my bests for lunch.

I love these girls. They make me happy and smile and are just good people.

And of course, Michelle and my adorable cheeseballs entertained us throughout our meal.

We also saw our friends who are expecting this spring as well as our friends who had a son in July. Little Carter is a mini linebacker much like Drew was. He is just adorable and I can't wait for these boys to become great friends when we move back!

Fortunately, I was able to see another one of my besties I've known since childhood while home. She came over for a bit with her 3 year old and Drew was in awe. Madeline is a beautiful firecracker who captures any audience with her endless energy. How adorable is she with her trendy skinny jeans and flats?

And lastly, congrats to one of my other bests, Melissa for bringing a gorgeous little girl into the world. Little Bailey Ann was born on December 21st weighing 9.8 lbs and was 22 inches long. Can't wait to see you guys in October and squish her little face!
