and it's almost 3:00 am

i suck at keeping track of my days when i'm away from home.  i can't believe i've already been in atlanta for three days.  it has flown by.  today was amazing.  i woke up and got ready and since my parents house is in the "completely demolished" stage of their kitchen/main floor renovation, it took me a million hours to figure out breakfast.  luckily my best and childhood friend, diana called to ask if she could stop by!  twenty minutes later when she arrived i was still making the sandwich i'd been working on when she called.  being without a kitchen is pretty inconvenient.  pictures to come.

we hung out for a while and it was so much fun.

then baby girl and i went to sarah's house.  we're like lifelong bff's that just happened to meet less than two years ago.  since our entire friendship has been long distance, our reality bff time is extra special.

mary and baby girl.  they played sooooo well together.  it was precious.

holy guacamole!

 

this giant boy is luke.  he is three months older than baby girl and about three times her size as well.

 

or at least two times her size.

 

then we headed over to my oldest sister liza's house.  we played, cleaned, cooked, and ate for four hours.  it was perfect.  then my mom showed up with my grandparents in tow (she picked them up from southern georgia tonight) and they were as sweet and adorable as always.

 

sister picture with liza!

 

she protested her nap earlier because we were at liza's and she could hear skye and will playing without her.  so of course she crashed two seconds after we got in the car.

baby girl and i drove got home at 8 45 and she went straight to bed and i went straight to diana's house because lisa told me there was a party going on over there.  thanks for the invite diana!  just kidding... kinda.  apparently it was a going away party for some guy i'd never met.  he turned out to be very nice though and i wish him all the best in his internship on the west coast.

playing with lisa and diana made my life feel complete.  we were the three musketeers for the first... oh i dunno how many years of our lives.  probably 26 and counting.  we've been best friends since birth.  literally.  we talked and laughed and hung out til 12:30 in the morning and since that wasn't enough, lisa called me five minutes later to talk on the phone on our drive home.  sadly, my crappy battery life phone died and cut the fun short.  

but good thing there's tomorrow night.  i can't wait to hang out with those girls again.  a-s-a-p.

so today was a really good day... it is so very rare to hang out with so many very favorite people in one day.    i really really really love georgia.  and oh my heavens it is gorgeous.

less than 48 hours till my honey gets here!  he's been working 17 hour days and traveling while i've been gone.  he needs a break and i can't wait to celebrate our anniversary together!  he's so great.
