Blast From my Past!

I really do not remember when I met Carolyn Jennings, but I knew from the beginning that I liked her. She has a magnetic personality and a love for life that is contagious. We were great buddies in elementary school and I loved visiting her house where her parents made me feel like I was one of their own. In middle school we still did crazy things together in the church youth group, drama, etc. In high school we seemed to run in different circles, but I always loved running into Carolyn because I knew that she was always the same!

Fastforward 10 years and we are now both mothers of beautiful little girls! We have gotten together for well over a year now celebrating our joy in motherhood, our differences, and enjoying a great new adult friendship! She lives in Austin with her great husband and I here in Grapevine, but whenever we can we grab the chance to get together and let our "chickens" play! :) So besides several dinners at Cheesecake Factory and play dates at her parents' house (including the best adult Easter egg hunt around) Anna Claire and I packed up our car and headed to Austin to visit our great friends!

Their home was so nice and inviting and we just had a blast! We had a "No Nonsense Day" party with cake and cupcakes, a book exchange and an enormous water slide! Even the Mommies went down the slide (no photos of that sorry!) after all of the guests had gone. The kids played and played and Carolyn and I even enjoyed some great late night chats while our babies were sleeping. It was a great trip and time with our friends and I hope their are many more wonderful memories to come! Love you Carolyn! :)
