Good to see my peeps.

Last week Jodi and the kiddos visited. It was so great. So so so great. On Thursday, I knew they were here and couldn't wait to see them, but Jodi's cell phone was dead and it was actually very hard to get ahold of her. Plus I was working and I had to go to school that night. When I was leaving to school around 4:30pm I passed by the cul-de-sac and saw that Jodi and the kids were up there playing. I drove by and continued onto school. I was half way down battlecreek when I just couldn't help but turn the car around and go back to say hello! I felt SO dumb with the whole cul-de-sac clan out there chatting, and me just pulling up unannounced. But I did it anyway, it had been over a month since I saw my "peeps" as I call them, and I just had to see them! I just stopped by real quick and said hello to the cute kids and went on my way to school. I was late to school and it was very hard not to just skip school and stay but then I would have to make up school time so I made myself go to school! But I had a great night at school because I got to see those kiddos! Don't tell anyone, but I totally cried in the car after leaving them and continuing on my way to school. Saturday, I spent the entire day with Jodi and the kids! It was great to see them and spend so much time with them!

When I pulled up Saturday morning and got out of the car, Ava was outside playing. She turned around, yelled my name, then took of running into my arms. How cute. How could you not cry after something like that? Ava is my soul sista. I love her. Elijah has gotten so big and talks a lot more. Marshall has gained a lot of weight (which is good for that skinny little guy) and is still the same cute heartbreaker. Ava was as funny as ever. We were at the mall and she wouldn't let anyone else push her in her stroller but me. Love her. I had so much fun spending time with my peeps! It was good to see them all. Saturday night it was girls night without the kiddos. We had a lot of laughs, as usual and it felt like Jodi never left. I miss Jodi, we often text each other on our bad days and a phrase that is said constantly back and forth is "if I was there, I would bring you a dr. pepper". Haha, we are total caffeine junkies. She's a great friend and I miss her. Now they are back in NY moving into their new house. I needed their visit, it was the pick me up that I needed. It helped me feel so much better. I was so sad to see them go but I will look forward to November when I see them again! We had so much fun!!
