Girls Night Out!

For Rikki's birthday we decided to have a Girls Night Out. It was some much needed fun! Porsche, Rikki's childhood friend flew in from across the country on her special day and we went out for dinner, drinks, and Sex in the City 2! We went to a near-by restaurant called Coco Lounge. It features and specializes in all things chocolate and there is a touch of chocolate in just about everything....dessert, martinis, and even a gravy sauce that was in my mashed potatoes! It was a yummy experience!

Here we all are in our luxurious booth...made of chocolate no doubt...

Rikki and Ana and a rock'n birthday corsage!

Porsche and myself....especially happy at this point in the evening:)

Little Swimmers!

How adorable are these babies in their swim suits?! I am so thankful we have a neighborhood pool to go to. This was our first experience of the season and I am sure there will be many more to come!

Homegirls and Wine!

Two weekends ago I went to the Wein and Saengerfest in New Braunfels with two of my girlfriends from Jr. High. They are the only two friends that I really keep in touch with from San Marcos and we are trying to keep up a monthly meet up between our scattered cities, jobs and lives. It's always so great to catch up with these girls because we literally have known everybody who has ever entered and exited our lives since we were in 7th grade. We bonded through the Jr. High pep squad and they were bridesmaids in my wedding.

The festival was so much fun and somewhere between the third glass of sweet Pinot Grigio, the pork chop on a stick, the smelling of "chicken fried bacon" (not even kidding!), and rocking out to 80s music with the Spazmatics on stage....we realized we have been friends for 17 years! And since they aren't going anywhere...I feel confident that they will still be my friend after posting the following picture of us from 8th grade. Is it weird that we are standing in the same exact order?

Spring...eh...Summer is here!

Summer is here...well not according to the calendar, but according to my thermometer it is!

During the summer, we can just let loose, and take off a layer or two of clothing....
