Just got home from a little road trip. In three days, I saw three (four?) small Texas towns and had a blast! I went to Graham for Meredith's baby shower, then to Kerrville to stay with Kathryn. Together, we drove to San Antonio one day and Fredericksburg another day to have some girl time! I lost track of the number of thrift stores we hit, but I picked up several little treasures for the house and searched the clearance rack for "professional attire" for this coming semester. We also shopped for baby clothes... for Kathryn and Mike's baby Kate! :) In fact, aunt Jen bought Kate a giraffe print onesie! With a PINK giraffe on the front! So precious. We went to the movies and splurged on buttered popcorn and Cokes. We cooked a yummy dinner and drank lots of coffee. There was lots of time in the car, tons of great conversation, and we laughed until our cheeks hurt!
I am so thankful for you, sweet Kathryn, and nearly fifteen years of friendship!

I swear, no matter what L & M said, those Breyer horses never, ever moved their heads!

Do you remember when the microwave fell on my head?
High school. Homecoming.

Houses!
Who knew we inherited our mother's decorating senses... and that we'd love landscaping.
And now, your precious baby girl.
I cannot wait to meet her!
You are so precious to me. I am so thankful for a confidant, a friend, a sister. I love our talks about Jesus, husbands, sins and freedom, fear, clothes, plants, plans, people. Thanks for having me to Kerrville this weekend. I will see you in February!
okay, so I cried :) what a sweet blog entry...I love you so, Jen, and I am equally as thankful for our friendship. By the way, I had forgotten about the Van Morricks and their head-turning Breyer horses - I laughed really hard at that!
