Rommate Weekend

Twice a year, me and my college room mates get together for a fun weekend of girl time.  This past weekend we met in Austin and did nothing but eat, lay by the pool, and spend time together.  For more of exactly what we did you can check out Chelsie's Blog.

Me, Chelsie, Lindsay, Lydia

(please excuse the fact that I'm as big as a house in the picture)

For today though. I'm going to share just a little about each one of my precious freinds.  I'll begin by saying these are closest friends I have ever had and they hold a special place in my heart.  It is always so wonderful to see them.

First is Lydia.  We went to a Mexican food restaurant that is known for their Avocado Margaritas.  Since we are both pregnant, here we are with our waters (haha!).  Lydia has a wonderful joy about her.  She is has a bubbly personality and could always make us laugh.  I'm so thankful that I'm getting to share the experience of being pregnant with her!!

  Next is Lindsay.  She is our creative picture taker!  Lindsay and I became good friends when we were about 16 years old.  She is very nurturing and a wonderful listener.  I was so excited that we got to go to college together and cherish her friendship to this day.
Also there is Libby who isn't shown in any pictures because she is on the other side of the world.  I met Libby during Welcome Week at ACU and we have been friends ever since.  I love her happiness and adventurous spirit.  Libby we missed you so much this weekend and thought about you a lot. It isn't the same without you.

Lastly, there is Chelsie.  Chels and I have known each other our whole lives.  I'm not sure if there are many people in the world who can claim that and are still friends.  Our friendship has evolved and been shaped as we have grown up but nothing makes me happier to still get to share my life with her.  I remember spending the night out on Chels' trampoline talking about being friends forever and talking about our own families.  It almost brings tears to my eyes just to think about her holding my little boy someday.  Love you!

The last day we spent together, Sunday, Chelsie and Lindsay took me and Lydia to a really neat place in Austin for brunch and had a mini-shower for us.  They gave us the custest little outfits and changing table diaper holder thingy with all sorts of goodies in it.  I loved mine but most of all it just meant a lot to me to spend that special time with my best friends. 
Lindsay, Lydia, Chelsie, and Libby- thanks so much for all the love and support you've shown to me.  I love you to pieces and wish I had better words to tell you what you mean to me!!!  I'm done being sappy now :)

PS- Its is always wonderful to be back in a world where all my friends are as tall as me :)
