My girls meet my BFF's at Callie's Wedding

October 5,2012 I got the privilege of watching one of my best friends, Callie, marry her best friend :) I also got to catch up with some of my best friends over the weekend too. God has truly blessed me, while some have one or two best friends over a lifetime, I found Laura, Alyssa and Margie in 6th grade (1996) and freshman year of high school (1999) I found Callie and Amy. These girls have been a constant in my life and I love them like sisters. No matter how much time we spend apart, we always pick up right where we left off. Unfortunately life has taken us miles apart and we are spread over Iowa, Wisconsin, Washington and Georgia!

 

This weekend was especially fun because our little group has been adding babies and it was fun to get to see all the little ones. It melted my heart that my usually shy Lily ran right up to Laura and sat on her lap and was 100% at ease with her. Penny had fun playing with Roman (Alyssa's little man). While my kiddos were occupied I got to have some snuggles with baby Kenley (Laura's little girl).

Lily was so proud to hold baby Kenley

Later on Amy and Jeff came for the reception. My girls have not really met them, they have seen many pictures from my trip to see them in Georgia this past May. They knew them by name and took no time at all to warm up to them. Lily and Penny were both singing and dancing for Jeff. It makes me so happy to see my girls with people that I love so much!


I had to drag the girls off the dance floor at the end of the night

Unfortunately Margie couldn't make it to the wedding, but I did get to meet up with her the next day. Marge and her daughters (Zara and Charlotte) met up with me and my girls at the apple orchard. Unfortunately it was kind of cold and dreary out, but we did get to pick out a pumpkin and some apples to take home. I wish we would have had more time together, but I am thankful for what I got. I have really been missing my friends this year and it was so refreshing to get to see them all in one fun weekend!
