Wombs. (At Dave and Em’s gender reveal party last August…Matt and I were under the WRONG impression that Em was having a girl. Woops. Good thing Dave was on the right track!

Fruit of the wombs. Almost a year later.

Our Couple Besties (you understand what that means, right?) are Dave and Em. Or “Day and Mem” as Coco would say. We’ve gone through a lot with them. Many blog posts there. I’m not going to do the disservice of skimming through our friendship.

 But basically, when we used to live in Riverside, these were the people we called at 4:00 AM to pick us up from the side of the freeway when our car croaked. Multiple times. And we were the people that they would call when their AC crashed at 11:00 PM and the temperature was like a scene from Dante’s Inferno.

We’re the kind of friends that don’t care if it’s an ungodly hour; we just DO what we need to do to get us ALL through the situation. We laugh, cry, scream, and are even silent together. Ecclesiastes kinds of friends.

Anyways, we had a REUNION.

And we wore Moo Moos to celebrate! (side note, these are REALLY comfortable. I kinda get it.)

mmmhmmmm!

Here are some of the highlights…If you broke the day down it would be like this:

Arrive.
Hug. A lot.
Stand in front of fans as we all sweat.
Watch our kids nap, wake, eat, play.

Coco held up an Apocalyptic type of sign. I don’t know why. I just take the pictures.

    I know! It takes quite a bit of coordination to make things happen–epsecially since we now live about 7 hours away from each other. But it’s so worth it to maintain those relatioships!

    it sure is great to have friends like these…they are hard to come by these days though ???? i’ve had girlfriends like these, but as soon as they got married/had boyfriends or had babies, they weren’t as “reliable”…lol.

    Definitely hard. But way worth it. These kinds of friends are rare–have to do everything we can to maintain it!

    It’s so important (and hard) to keep these awesome friends close at hand while the babies are young! It can be easy to be sucked right into toddlerhood and not look up for several years!
