Simplicity.: Friends: New and Old :)

Last weekend I drove back home to Albuquerque, New Mexico to attend a best friend's baby shower! Jane is expecting a little girl on May 20th! I can't wait to meet Baby Harper. :) Jane was my "big sis" in Pi Phi during college. I was a freshman and I thought she was so nice and really cool because she was really involved with Greek Week and the Exec board... so one day I went up to her and just asked if she would "adopt" me as her "little". Ha Ha! She said yes, and the rest is history... But seriously, she has been such a great friend and she's been there for me through a lot of life changes.

Baby Harper is growing!

New mommy Tara is looking beautiful as ever!

I got to hold Declan, Tara's baby boy!
I realized it's been a long time since I've been around a baby... like since my sister was born

I've never seen anything so funny. Chihuahua teeth brushing is highly amusing!

That's me with my dad and stepmom. Love you guys!

A new good friend of mine is Gabby! We are in school together and we met because on the second day of class last Fall I noticed that we had all of our classes together. So, being the goofy and slightly bossy person that I am, I went up to her and her roommates and asked if I could join them for lunch. Then I told Gabby that since all of our classes were together we were going to be best friends. ;) So far, so good!

I'm so thankful that she helped me drive down to ABQ. We had a great time eating New Mexican food, going dancing Downtown, and attending the baby shower. It was really great to catch up with friends and family, even if we were only there one full day. I love being able to drive home in half a day!

My wonderful friend Gabby! Ha Ha and we're holding little Solo, but he looks possessed.

A couple of days ago another one of my best friends, Alex, was in Ft Collins. She travels the country as a Pi Phi leadership consultant. She was up working at CSU last week and so I had to go visit her! It had almost been a year since we'd seen each other :/ Alex was my "little sis" in Pi Phi and I'm so proud of all the great things she has done. It's awesome when you have friends that you don't see that often, but when you get together it's like no time has passed. I'm so thankful for all the great friendships that I have been blessed with.
