Meeting Baby Elle

I promise to get to the bulk of our Arizona trip - It will come soon and my goal is to be finished recapping the holidays before January is over ::le sigh::

I brought 2014 in right with a visit with one of my best friends and her sweet baby girl, Elle. We planned on it being a double date + baby, but we decided to have a girls only {no boys allowed} lunch date and it was nothing short of a perfect afternoon lunch.

Sam and I met our Freshman year of high school in our first period choir class. We sat next to each other, I cant remember if it is because we were both sopranos, but she turned to me and said, "You look like Rory from the Gilmore Girls." I looked at her, confused because I had never watched an episode in my life, and said, "Who is that?" And that began a lifetime of friendship. We happened to be in lots of the same classes throughout high school so many group projects were completed and lots of sleepovers were had. The summer after our Junior year, her family moved to Tennessee - and this was really before video chatting etc, so we had to make sure to catch up on the phone and remember the time zones.

We traveled to see each other and we were in each others weddings. We have definitely had our ups and downs and our laughing hysterics and arguments. This girl has been my friend for what seems like forever. She is my sister and I love he and her family as if they were my own! And this sweet baby of hers is more than lucky to have her as a momma!
