Visitors

A few weeks ago I had friends visit us from PA. I've known these girls for over 10 years now and it's amazing to me that I have such amazing people in my life that are willing to drive 10 hours to KY with their children for a long weekend. Hahahah!!

I met these ladies when I was in Radiography school at Penn State. Carisa was my classmate, Christy was a year above us and Karen worked at the Hershey Med Center. They have always been amazing friends to me! What they may not know is how much thier friendship helped me through Tom's time in Iraq! When Tom was deployed I moved back home from Germany and worked at Hershey again. They kept me very busy and gave me so much support that helped me make it through that year! Over the years we've all changed so much, getting married, starting families, etc. But through all of that we've always kept in touch. It may not be every week or constant phone calls because life does truly take over, but I know that we can pick right up from where ever we left off whether it was 3 days or 3 months ago. Ladies....I love you and thanks for being such amazing friends!

While everyone was here in KY we made a trip to the Louisville Zoo, and 2 pretty cool playgrounds. The boys (we all have boys which is hilarious) had such a great time playing together! Carisa's son Ethan is 1 year old, and Karen has 2 boys, Cooper who is 18 months, and Aiden who will soon be 3. Cooper was definitely missing his Dad and our big plans of keeping 4 boys bunked in 1 room together didn't go as planned but otherwise it was a great weekend! My favorite part, aside from seeing all of our kids play together, was after they went to bed we all sat up and just talked like we used to do before we had kids and we were all still living close to each other!
