Hello! Good bye!

well, in the last week, we had two short but sweet visits with our friends...first, Kara Plimpton and Zayne came to stay for a night while her hub was busy getting the opening weeks smoothed out on his new restaurant! Can't wait to eat there! We did have a great time together, and even though it has sometimes been a while since we've seen each other, we have no problem hittin where we left off! And now, since they moved from Florida to Lansing over Christmas, we will hopefully get to spend lots of short visits together!! Zayne is so stinkin cute, and it's obvious that he loves his mama! I think the boys had fun having another little friend to play with!





AND THEN, yesterday....Heather and Richard called randomly after church and said, 'Hey! we're stuck in Chicago for the night, you should come visit us!" How could we NOT go, that's what I'm sayin. So we packed the boys up and jumped in the car, two hours later, we were with our vacation buddies watchin bball in their hotel room. (btw, my bracket is doing surprisingly well- never done one before!) We were treated to some Chili's takeout, Heather and I treated ourselves to some Starbucks. =) All together GREAT fun, totally random, trip. We headed home for the night when the boys were ready for a scenery change, and they snoozed the whole way home. (AWESOME) We are getting ready to celebrate the end of a long hard four years thru dental school...he only has about 6 weeks left! YIKES! That means, it's been 2 years already since Ry graduated!! WOAH. Time flies. And another two years from now, Ry's bro Nate will graduate too! Anyhoo, they are so much fun and we're glad they thought of us to hang out with! love you guys!
