Ode To My Friends

So it has been a little while since I posted something, and I have been thinking long and hard about what to share with the world. And this is what I have, hopefully this is a great tribute to my friends.

I would say that I am a person that has a lot of good friends, so that is a little much for a blog post, if I forgot to mention you don't take offense, trust me I still love you too.

Heather

This is Heather, we met a couple of years ago when she got a job in my office.. and I hated her. Then through a combination of spending time together and having a lot in common we started to bond. Then I realized that she was awesome.

Then Heather and I started to spend a ton of time together and she is now one of my favorite people on the planet. Currently she and her husband are expecting a baby, who I have lovingly named Pippa (royal fever see previous blog post) Anyway Heather is great and everybody should now that.



Megan and Jackie
This is the gruesome twosome. They are currently separated but they used to be roommates and besties (still besties, no longer roommates). I met both Megan and Jackie at summer camp. (I can't tell you what year, I worked there along time.) Megan is one of the nicest people I know. Seriously she never says no to me, and I asked her to pick me up in the snow so we could go to pedicures. Jackie and her husband Josh are super funny and close to both Patrick and I.  Jackie and Josh recently moved away to Roanoke for Josh's work. I hope they have a great experience down there, but I seriously want them to move back ASAP.


Jessica, Michelle, Angie, and the rest of the RHH
This is a growing group that I have recently fallen into. I think my mom would say that I have gotten in with the fun crowd. I met these girls through Heather and her sister Jessica. Most of the RHH were roommates that Jessica had before she got married and still keeps in contact with.

You should know we are all adults, we have homes, jobs, husbands and relationships, babies on the way and lots of big things to come. However there are definitely things that keep us grounded, we love to take trips, shop, and drink good wine.

Laura
I have known Laura forever, I met her at camp a long long long time ago. I can't believe that we have all come so far.  Laura and I don't talk as much as we should but she is still wonderful and a great friend. Laura went on vacation with my husband and I to visit my family in Philly and New York, we nearly died in Times Square on New Years Eve 2009 (it was 6 degrees warm out and we both really had to pee after 8 hours in standing in NYC.)



K. Riegal

No blog post about my friends would be complete without K Riegal, K Riegal and I have been best friends for years. We have definitely had our ups and downs over the years but at the end of the day she and I will always be connected. K. Riegal lives really far away, down south in SC where she just bought a awesome new house and a cute puppy. I can't wait for the day that we all live close by again and we can hang out on the regular.



That is just a few, I have a lot more friends so sorry if i forgot somebody... I love you all

Bethany side note of the day: She just dyed her hair red and it is super cute.

I promise to be a better blogger

So I am very sorry that I have been away from blog land for so long. I promise that I am back full time (pending vacations obviously) and I missed you all deeply.

I have been up to a lot of things since I last checked in, when you find out what I have been up to you will see why I have been too busy to blog.

  • I joined Weight Watchers in an effort to shed some extra pounds. 
  • We watched fireworks. 
  • Our friends Jackie and Josh moved to Roanoke and we had a cookout. 
  • We played cornhole with some buddies. 
  • Patrick passed him EMT test. 
  • My friend Michelle got ENGAGED
  • Work has been super duper busy
  • I have been prepped for some big get-aways soon


I will be blog on the blog circuit with clever and witty things to say any day now. But for now this will have to do. 

Bethany side-note of the day: Bethany's favorite color when she was little was purple... I don't know if she still likes it but if she would respond to my blog we would all know for sure.
