Nate and I- together 10.5 years!Do it, judge me...every year I gather people I love for a few adult beverages. Yes, I plan it myself. No, I don't care if you think that is tacky. I just really like to see as many of my loved ones as I can on my birthday. It's a great time to reminisce (some of my/our best moments are always relived...that means embarrassing), we have an adult beverage or too many and just enjoy each other's company. It is also the only day during the year I can justify mixing up my worlds. For example at this year's gathering I had friends from high school, friends from college, neighbors and family- you can mix that up every day...it doesn't always work. Here are some pics...hopefully next year some of my far away loved ones can join us!
Oklahoma family- I'm talking to you!!!
Crystal and I have known each other since 10th grade and we went to college together;
her husband Eric was there too (thanks Eric!). Crystal and Eric met and started dating a few short months before Nate and I met. I was there when Crystal met Eric and Crystal was there when I met Nate...it's pretty fitting that we are back together again celebrating life!
They have two beautiful boys, Alex and Aiden.
Nate and I will be venturing to Vegas with Crystal and Eric in December.
I have known Faith since college (she was a freshmen and I was a senior), then we worked together (technically I was her boss, but she taught me my job!) and now we are neighbors and best of all friends...all done by the hands of God!
(that's her husband Andrew...he makes amazing bon fires for us!)
Jen Foster (that's Officer Foster to you) and I met in college; we occasionally lose touch, but when we see each other again we pick up right where we left off!
This is my father-in-law Dean, but I just call him Dad and my sister-in-law Danielle. I have known Danielle since she was 16 and now she is married and a mommy---
wow, time really does fly!
Life is Good! I have amazing people in my life and for that I am so grateful!
