Fun with friends!

One of my dearest friends, Kathy, came in from out of town last week. Kathy is just one of those friends that is one of a kind. We can go months without talking and then pick right back up where we left off. She is completely supportive and so encouraging. Kathy and her husband, Marc, live in Lubbock so I don't get to see them very often. When Kathy told me they were going to be in Montgomery I was thrilled! I was so excited to turn it into a little mini reunion with Alan and Jennifer, too! I have been friends with Alan and Jennifer since college and I am so lucky that they live nearby. I could sit and talk with Jenn for hours, but we often let our busy lives get in the way of doing that too often. We used to live a little closer and would do dinners together almost every week. We still try and do that, just not near as much as I would like.
During this visit we went out the Marc's moms little store in Montgomery, Just for Grins. It is such a cute little boutique! After checking out the store we went next door to a great little restaurant. Dinner with all of us was loud, but so great. I am pretty sure that when we were in college we never would have imagined that we would be sitting together at dinner outnumbered by kids. There were 6 adults and 8 kids - all 6 and under! After dinner we didn't want the night to end, so we went over to an old playground nearby. Well, I don't know if I should say playground, it was really just an old jungle gym and OLD merry go round. The kids didn't know the difference and had a great time playing. I wish the night could have last forever. Such a great night with wonderful friends!
