Pink Holidaze

Such a wonderful, wonderful visit with Bethany and Heather  this weekend.  So thankful they made the trip up here from Memphis to meet Eloise and spend some fun time together...and eat lots of good food.  :)   Lunch at Longbranch . Eloise meets her Aunt B! :) Elle Belle and Heather. Dessert at Global .  I think we at every last bite. Finishing it off with some Harbaugh's . Such a joy! {Most of these pics stolen from Heather :)}

Bethany came to town for a short but sweet visit yesterday and this morning.  And sweet it was.  Isn't it amazing how even less than 24 hours with one of your best friends can be reviving and refreshing.  I feel so full of energy!  We packed in a trip the pumpkin patch (pretty entertaining), some Thai food, and some good old hanging out.

Befrey (aka Bethany) is coming tomorrow! :) {This photo was taken four years ago in Ifrane, Morocco .  It's a really pretty place.  Where they have  real trees.  In North Africa.  With falling leaves.  I promise the rest of Morocco is very pretty, but sometimes you just want some seasons.}

I am happy you are home.  You are so special to me.  And I'm so thankful that Jesus is letting us have babies at the same time.  So that someday when we live on the same street in the same city, our little girls can play together.  And then Bethany will have her babies.  And we will all live on the same street in the same city.  And our husbands will be so happy.  :) In just a few short weeks our bellies will meet.  Maybe our girls will be like us, born 14 days apart.  Maybe they'll be friends later and walk down the stairs day after day wearing the same outfit without even meaning to.  And maybe one of them will buy a pink raincoat they can share.    Maybe they will teach each other things and learn about life together.  And travel to fun places.  I sure hope so.

Well, it's been a full few weeks...and wonderfully so! :) After getting back from the women's retreat two weekends ago (which was refreshing and lovely all around), I entered into my LAST week of work for a long while. I won't be starting school for close to two months, so here's to freedom! Here are a few highlights of the past few weeks (let me warn you, this is not a cohesive post whatsoever): A. Women's Retreat...plain old fun and I learned so, so much about God and His wonderful, loving character. Here's a picture of our little traveling group! B. Bethany's visit...Bethany is one of my very best friends in the whole world. I love every minute I spend with her and this visit was the first time we had seen each other since my wedding (we were married just two weeks apart). We didn't even meet until after college, but I feel as though we've known each other forever. One of my other very best friends in the world (Jordan) and I were roommate...
