Vacation with the Family

Right now my whole family is at the OBX! Its been much fun and very relaxing despite the daily breakdowns by all of the children =D haha! JK...hehe. They have been doing great=D The Weather has been very nice so far. Most of us came on Saturday, then the rest followed on Monday and we will all be leaving this Saturday. I miss all of my friends (and Pie, my dog) and I can't wait to see them again! And I can't wait to put some pictures up from the trip. Have a very HaPpY tHaNkSgIvInG eVeRyOnE!!!!! 

8 Long Years

Lauren and I met in the year of 1999. Her family came here so her dad could go to the pastors college and we became best friends!! Sadly though, the pastors college only lasted one year, so in the year of 2000 her family moved back to El Paso Texas. It was the most heart breaking goodbye that I have ever experienced. But!! Lauren and I have kept in touch these past 8 years. About two months ago Lauren told me that they were going to come to MARYLAND!!!!! I was frantic! So, on November 16th 2008, I got to see by buddy once again! It was absolutely AMAZING to see her again! Leading up to the day that I would see her, it didn't seem real! After I first saw her and her family.....I just didn't know what to say, all I could do is stare at her, I had to keep telling myself that she was actually there and real! Haha! So many memories came back and we had lots and lots of laughs! We decided that we can't wait another 8 years cause then we would be 25!!!! yuck! haha! I am hoping that I will be able to go see her this summer =D I have been so blessed to have Lauren as a friend, even though we are so far apart, I feel our friendship is just a strong as ever! I can't wait to see her and her WONDERFUL family! I love you Lauren!!!!!
