Golden Friends

We got to meet up with so many old friends in December, it was awesome! We have been so fortunate over the years to have made such good friends wherever we go, and we miss them all so much.

We’ve been friends with this couple since before they were married (though me and this beautiful blonde have been friends since high school). We used to get together weekly and our husbands would play video games and we girls would just chat, before we ever had kids. We’ve visited back and forth a bunch since then, and now all together we have 8.5 kids! We’re so glad we got to see them!

This amazing family lived down the street from us in Tucson, and became such good friends they are like family. Our kids were best friends, and they still send each other things and letters every now and then. They are also all betrothed (all our kids are within 6 months of each other, and all opposite gender). They even have a baby boy, which is perfect for our little girl on her way!

Here they all are, sitting by their betrothed (missing the baby, and apparently my kids all make the same funny face):

I loved my time in high school, and I know that is in large part due to the amazing group of friends I had and hung out with. Some of us were in AZ for Christmas, or still live there, so we tried to catch who we could to meet up one morning and hang out at the park and have breakfast together:

We live all over now- Utah, Georgia, AZ, Nebraska, but I’m so glad we got this small chance to hang out again for a bit!

Once we got home to NE, we got to see one more family we miss- they came to visit their own family in NE for the holidays! We are so lucky to live where she’s from, so I get to see them every now and then. It was great catching up with them!
