Busy Bees

It seems fitting that Mya was a bee for Halloween because we have been busy, busy bees the last couple of weeks. I got together with 6 of my bestest friends over the last 2 weeks! It has been so great to catch up, but also very exhausting! I, of course, took lots and lots of pictures!

My college roommates, Katie and Kelly, came over for pizza. Kelly's little boy, Quintin, came to keep Mya company. It was very challenging to get the two to look at the camera at the same time! Here they are enjoying their dinner...and Mya "watching" her future boyfriend eat his pizza! Kelly says he can be a little devil... but I think he is a precious angel! :-)

Next up, was a visit from another former roommate of mine, Kristy, and her beautiful baby girl, Izzy. They spent the evening and following day with us. Izzy loves to be held, but her Auntie Rachel was able to get her to go fast asleep in her carrier! It took Mya awhile to figure out what all the baby business was about. But, she soon warmed up to her new friend! We can't wait to spend more time with our little Izzy!

My last visit of the week was my bestest friend (since 4th grade!), Sarah. Because Matt works nights, I needed a companion to accompany me to a big Halloween Bash at Trump Towers in Chicago. She decided to travel all the way from Austin, Texas to join me! My wonderful, mother-in-law, agreed to babysit so we could spend the day and night in the city! I picked her up at the airport at noon and we headed downtown! Despite the rain, we were able to eat, drink, shop, eat again, and drink much much more! We had a BLAST...but definitely paid for it the following day!

Sarah was a Go-Go dancer and I was a flight attendant. There were multiple go-go dancers and multiple flight attendants. We were the G-rated version compared to the others' R-rated version. Guess that's what happens when you are 30 and/or a mom! We still looked cute, just not trashy!

One of the party hostesses, Angie (another roommate....gosh I moved a lot!). She was Amy Poehler's character from Baby Momma, because she will soon be her own baby's momma! YAY!

Whew...what a week! I LOVED catching up with my friends! I love them all and can't believe how things have changed- 3 pregos, 1 newborn, a mother of 2, and one set to get married in July! We are all so lucky to have such wonderful lives, and I am so thankful that I can still be apart of all of them!
