When I was a little girl/navy brat, my family moved to the Phillippines! My dad was stationed on a tiny little base called San Miguel where he was the doc! When we got there I met Chrissy! Chrissy and I were inseparable (unless I was watching General Hospital - strange obsession for a 4 year old I know but we were lacking for good TV on our 1 channel)! We were best of friends from preschool thru 1st Grade! Yes - thats us to the right with our matching Care Bears. (thanks dad for the photos)

Our moms were also great friends and though we all moved on to half a dozen locations after that - they maintained their friendship! Well this year Mom and Mary were planning a girls weekend when my mom told her I was having a baby - as it turns out ... so is Chrissy.
We are both having boys and she is due a couple weeks before me. So with this great coincidence our moms decided on a Mother/pregnant daughter weekend!
It was so much fun to see them both! It was also great to have a girlfriend going through the same exciting adventure of a first pregnancy! Between shopping, a spa afternoon and boating on the lake we had as much fun as ever - there is nothing quite like picking right back up after twenty something years!
Chrissy is living in Colorado with her husband where she does floral design and is a design student! I can't wait for our little guys to meet in the near future!

Thanks Mom and Mary for getting us all together!!
