NOW.... and THEN......

SO i have some of the BEST friends anyone could ever ask for. I was going through some of my old pictures, and laughing at how long we have all been friends. I have know all of you SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL!! Even some since ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! So i started putting together just a few of the pictures of our group together over the last decade....(or longer) Oh how i love you guys you always make me smile!!!! Here's to you guys!!! I seriously could not be where i am today without these girls. I have leaned on every one of their shoulders at least once and turned to them for support and strength. And they have ALWAYS been there for me when I needed them! I have learned Millions upon millions of lessons from each of them and i am so thankful to have everyone of you in my life! I hope you enjoy the memories as much as i did!! I can't wait to see what happens with us over the next decade! Love you!
P.S. If you have any other note worthy pics to add to this blog, let me know!!!!

CATCH UP THURSDAY!!!

Well it says something about life when you run out of time to blog!! HAHA What is this world coming to!!! Just kidding. It has been a busy first 3 weeks of third grade though! I am lucky to leave work by 5:30 *(When i should be leaving at 4) and on top of that my crazy intense Master's class!! Seriously who wants to write a 35 page paper for me!?!? Anyone? ANYONE? But I have resorted to posting yet again a slide show of pictures, so at least those who have fast enough internet can catch up on what i have been up to! There are pictures of Thanksgiving point, and swimming, the zoo... and who knows what else =) I have some funny school pictures too, but i wont post them here obviously! BUT Can you believe all of the babies at the zoo!? Britt got a family pass to the zoo and i paid to join them on it, so we have been there a few times this summer! I can't believe all the cute babies! I personally am ecstatic about the tiger babies!!! I love tigers! Ade is excited about the elephant baby! We went to vote on her name, and one of the options is AISHA, which is much like ALISHA, and Ade knows how to spell my name, so she proceeded to say, "LOOK!! they want to name the baby elephant ALISHA! lets vote for that one!" I had to explain they were NOT naming the elephant after me... flattering as it would be. YIKES!

I can't believe how times flies! Today was my niece Ade's FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!!! Can you believe it! Those of you who know me know i love her like crazy so it was a big day for me too!! She loved it and apparently did great! And no tears from her or her parents.... GOSH i guess that leaves me to cry!!! She is all grown up and going to school!!! I love it! SO i am adding a pic of her just before leaving for school! She is so cute! (** I stole the pic from Britt)

Also this last week Daija was in town and the girls and I got together for dinner! This was the first time we have ever brought the guys. It was a blast! Full of catching up, funny moments, like the bench breaking! And yard games, it was a pretty intense gave of boys against girls Bocce! I love those girls it was SO fun to get together again! Some of them i have known sense ELEMENTARY school!!! Yikes! We are getting old!!
