Whoa. What a whirlwind weekend. Seriously, it was so much fun. And I'm honestly sitting here, just so happy and content ... thinking my life is pretty much the best ever. There's really no better feeling.
Friday afternoon, Chris & Penny and the girls drove up from Chicago. It's been a few months since we've seen them last, and was just so awesome getting to spend a few days with them. I really, really miss them! They had spent the night before at a water park, so were pretty beat. Fortunately they didn't mind that we had another party to attend that night. In fact, they suggested a slumber party with the boys. It worked out great, and the kids loved just hanging out. They've kind of grown up together, and it's really quite amazing seeing them together. The reason Brian and I had to leave, was to celebrate our friend Kim's 40th birthday! It was a surprise party, and Jesse did an amazing job planning it. I hadn't seen Kim and Jesse for a few years. They lived in California, and just recently moved to Montreal, Canada. Our friends Greg & Yvonne were also in town from California. (Quick side note story: Yvonne and Brian went to school together. We were at their house for dinner about 12 years ago, when we started talking about their neighbors. Turns out, it was Kim and Jesse -- and Brian and Jesse grew up in Racine together. We've tight ever since.) Anyhow, it's been a couple years since I've seen Greg & Yvonne too! We also got to see some friends from Chicago who came up for the occasion (Another small world story -- our friends Paul and Roger have a house in Michigan where they spend a lot of time. And their neighbors are good friends of theirs, who we've known for years! Strange.). We just had so much fun hanging out and being goofy (and clearly immature ... as seen from the fake breasts -- a gift from the birthday girl's mom, by the way). We even danced the night away! Before we knew it, it was 1:00 in the morning. And we still had an hour drive back home. But I honestly didn't want the night to end. I adore these people, and hope it's not another three years before we get to see each other again.
