Seriously Awesome Weekend

Yes, I realize the weekend was a few days ago now, but seriuosly, it was Awesome! My college roomie Kristina and her husband Eric made the trek down from Iowa and spent a couple of days with us. We had the most fun! We see them about once a year, and it's like we saw them last week. Totally love it. I did a little figuring while they were here, and as it turns out, I've been friends with Kristina (and as we all met the same day, my Andi) for going on 13 years. How is that possible? We all started college together in the fall of '94. We all lived on the same floor and had some serious bonding. I haven't always been the best friend to them, but they're such good friends, they've been able to love me anyway. Wow! Just wow!

From the moment K&E got here, it was just easy. No awkwardness at all. Just easing back into each other's company, and just like that we were laughing and sharing and having an awesome time together. The boys played Xbox and thanks to Eric's influence, we'll be the proud owners of a 360 in the next week. Kristina and I scrapbook shopped and talked and scrapbooked and gabbed and had the best time. Being around them made me realize how much I miss them. Kris and I aren't super good phone talkers, but no worries, when we're together, you can't shut us up. And I love it! I was so sad when they left. I shed a few tears, and it took me till Monday morning to get out of the funk of missing them. Never have I been so happy for a good 'ole Iowa ice storm. We got to keep them here for a few extra hours. Yay! We're trying to convince them to move down here. We don't think they'd actually do it (all their family is up in IA), but man, would we be happy if they did!

You just don't find friends like Kristina and Eric every day.
