what means the most to me

pinch me please. never in a million years did I think a friend would come to visit.
I can barely get my own family to visit me :) But leave it to kelly. She has always been an amazing friend to me. Ever since she tapped me on my shoulder the first day of 7th grade and said, " i think my brother knows your brother..." And then suddenly she was waving to me every time i saw her in the halls -- since that time she has always been there for me & supported me. Like a sista...sta. We were college roommates where we primped on friday nights and blasted "come on over" by christina aguilera, where we knocked on some random guys apartment door and asked them to set up her computer, where we half way invited ourselves on a new year's trip to california with "ricky martin" Dave who took longer to get ready than we did, and where we both met our husbands. She wrote me on my mission and kept me updated on all my friends weddings while i was gone. I must have called her daily when i first had hugh to ask her how to get him to sleep, how to feed him, what to wear, how to pump,etc. She helped me so much!


While she was here we watched The Hills and it took me back when we used to watch party of five in high school and friends in college. Remember you used to cry after episodes of party of five? We roamed every aisle of Target late one night in our sweats, she ratted my hair and sprinkled it with "rat" powder, shopped, saw a chick flick, REDECORATED my living room. - i had to make use of her decorating skillz - (lOvE iT!), went to the zoo, were inspired at Winter Quarters, laughed and learned. It was so fun to have all that time together! It has been a long time. Lets do it every year!

Hugh was so excited after his naps to find his little friend.

Cohen has got the "cheese" pose for pictures down pat.

Cohen is the cutest little boy. He is a chiller. He can sleep anywhere and doesn't even make a peep when he wakes up. He just sits up in bed and plays. wow. He kept giving devin hugs. Hugh wouldn't give a strange man a hug to save his life!

kEllY & cOHen we miss you!

Thanks for coming.
