Random Reality: Best Friends Forever!

So my bestest friend and her family came to visit us this past weekend. It was a long overdue visit and we had a blast. For those of you who don't know Dani, or Danielle to the rest of the world, met when we lived next door to each other at the young age of 4. We became instant best buds until I moved away to Texas....but I came back to NY 18 months later and we were able to pick up where we left off. Until we both moved away, Dani to Indiana and I moved to Pennsylvania. We stayed friends through letters (I know crazy actual letters) and our annual summer visits. We would each visit each other for a week over the summers. We have grown and shared so many memories together. It is hard to believe that we are both married and Dani is expecting #2 already!! I am so grateful to have her in my life. We don't get to see each other often but when we do its like nothing has changed. We are able to pick up where we left off.

This past weekend was no different. Dani & company arrived Friday evening. So we all had a nice dinner and talked the night away. The next day Andy wanted to head into town to see the White House and all the other fun monuments in DC. So we all got ready, put on our walking shoes and headed out. We left no monument behind and we were out and about for 5 hours. I was beat at the end but no complaining here since I was not the one who was 6 months pregos.

Needless to say we all had a great day and it was PERFECT weather here in DC. Not too hot and perfect for walking around. Liam was such a trooper. He sat in his stroller and enjoyed the sights with us. We stopped a few times to have a snack and let Liam stretch his legs and of course enjoy the day. When we got home we ordered take out and the boys headed down to the man cave and Dani and I got to spend some girl time together.

This weekend really made me appreciate the special people in my life. It is so nice to have a great friend that has been there for you through all your big moments in life. We have so many memories and I can't wait to make many more. I miss her tons already and I know Mike and I will head to Indy to meet the new addition early next year. So here's to best friends and the special bonds you have in your life. Love you Dani!!

And as always here are some pics from our weekend.
