REUNION!!!

After we got back home from seeing some of the Grandparents for Thanksgiving, we had some houseguests. We got home around 11am on Friday and around noon, the visitors started arriving!! This was a day I have looked forward to for MONTHS! Two of my BFF's and sorority sisters were coming to visit, along with their daughters. One was Shannon (who lives in Charlotte and who I don't get to see nearly enough considering she is only 1.5 hrs away) and they other was Ilaria (who right now is living in the Philipines for a few yrs due to a transfer with her hubbie's company). I haven't seen Ilaria in about 4.5 yrs.

Shannon came with Wes & brought sweet Baby Ava with her again!!! Ava is 13 mths old. Ilaria came with Caroline who is about to be 3. She left sone Owen & hubbie Michael at the in-laws in Asheboro. Our little reunion was sooo great! You know you are wonderful friends when you can be apart for so long and once you are together again, it is like you were never apart at all!

Here are the girls LESS THAN THRILLED to be meeting new people and getting photos right after their arrivals:

After everyone settled in, we hung out and chatted for a while...then we gals decided to take the little ones to the Children's Museum! Now THAT was fun! They all had a great time.

After we returned home the little ones played a while then had a group bath!! We even dressed them up in our old sorority shirts! LEGACIES!!!

Then, after the girls were asleep guys made us a FABULOUS dinner! YUMMY YUM!! After a few "beverages" at dinner, we all decided the next get-together will be in the Philipines. HA Ilaria is fortunate enough to be put up in a fatty house over there with all of the amenities you could ever want...and $6 IN-HOME massages to boot! Check out her great life HERE!!

After dinner we were just like little college girls again, gossiping and being silly and looking at old photos & sorority scrapbooks...amazed at how AWESOME we actually looked 11-12 yrs ago when we thought we were fat! LOL

The morning came too soon...by about 11am the visitors were gone from our house. It was actually sad and I got a bit teary eyed. ;( I miss my friends, and wish I could see them more, but know that the bonds we share will last a lifetime!! That sounds like the lyrics to some cheesy sorority song, but it is true. And now that our girls have met, they can be lifelong friends too!
