Blast from the past

I had a chance to day to have lunch with some old friends from high school today. Actually, Melissa and I went to school together since the 6th grade. Terrie found me on Facebook & we decided it had been WAY too long since we had hung out...you know, like 5 or 6 years! We met at Panera and just had a great time catching up. All of our kids are somewhere in the 7 to 12 range except for little Hope. Melissa had her 12 weeks ago. She was such a little cutie! She made me miss Natalie so much I had to go see her tonight (pictures at the bottom).

A week so ago another friend from school called Bran and invited us to come have dinner at Neil's in Springdale. Micah and his family had owned Neil's for years. We had a chance to catch up & have a GREAT good old Southern dinner.

After dinner we headed to Trav & Steph's house to see little Natalie and the girls. Trav is out of town. Thanks to a call from Steph I finally remembered to take the girls their crowns!

Natalie had her nails done. She is a very fashionable little lady.

What a fun day it was. Reconnecting with old friends...squeezing my little Natalie...and getting to come home & watch American Idol! Go Adam, Allison & Chris!!
