I have to blog about our vacation in parts because there's just too much to write about all at once : )
Our first leg was a reunion trip to Richmond VA! We were so excited to catch up with many of our old friends from the good ole days at Franklin Street Church and living in the apartment building (aka the fishbowl).
Thank you Rebekah and girls for hosting us for the weekend! You are the epitome of hospitality.
We did a tour of the University of Richmond, it looks sooo different from when I was there in the early 90's. They have upgraded even more! We spent the afternoon at the pool with the Kleinschusters and the DeRocos and Heather (new friend) and Brooke can't stop talking about her daughter Emily and she was sad she couldn't send Emily a postcard because I don't have their address, or last name :)
So here is my update on everyone, I'll call it an
ODE TO OLD FRIENDS
Rebekah - you are such a great example of a WOW mom! 5 girls, all so young, and you make it look sooo easy. You inspire me!
Dana - Hanging out with you is always fun, it felt just like when we were roomies, like not a day had passed. You are very easy to talk to and a great friend!
Dan - okay, I always knew you were funny, but now you are raising a mini Dan who is a crack up at only 4 yrs old.
Heather - How was I not surprised when you stood up at church to make announcements about the children's ministry. Of course you're in charge, you always do such an amazing job and it is evident that you strive for excellence. Congrats on #2!!
Ray - Thank you for your servant's heart of staying to help George with the kids so the moms could have lunch. And right after preaching!
Lisa - you are as joyful and funny as ever, and oh so stylish!
Bevin - You look exactly the same age as when we were roomies 11 years ago! And you are still thoughtful and caring as I remember.
Tom - You still have such a great sense of humor, tell Jen I missed seeing her! I'm sorry George got you off schedule :)
Jen W. - What a blast to spend time with you for a whole day! Your comment is still making me laugh "ok there are the bobsey twins". And I think you're a great mom to your boys, they are soo sweet!
Jeff W. - Thanks for driving so far to meet us, we were so glad you came! It wasn't Wallyworld after all!
Rachel - My dear friend, it was so good to see you, you look amazing, a blond bombshell! Let me know when you're up for another trip to CA, I think I need it!
