V3 Reunion!!

I just got back from a week with my college roommates (we call ourselves V3 since that's the apartment we all lived in).  We went to Julia's home in Houston, Texas.  It was my first time in Texas and I loved it!  Not all the girls made it, but 4 out of 6 of us were there.  All of us have babies now, so there were 4 babies and 4 adults!  Chick was completely obsessed with Gracie (she's two months older than her) and Gracie's Daddy.  She got so excited when Ian (Gracie's Dad) came home one night that she kept biting my shoulder.

Julia took us all around showing us the exciting things in the Houston area.  The kids all got along great.  I was so excited that Chick LOVED all the kids so there wasn't biting, pushing, or pinching.  It was such an amazing week and I feel so lucky that I have the most amazing girlfriends ever!!  Thanks you guys!!!! 

Hatcher is taking the boards in ONE WEEK!!  Wow, I'm so excited for him to take the boards and have some pressure off his shoulders!  I never realized how much I depend on him until he's gone all the time.  And I really want our conversations be all about me and not about his test.  Is that selfish?!?!

Before I went to Texas I had just gone to Utah and California for two weeks.  I posted the engagement session I did of my friend Amy in San Francisco on my AMP blog, so you gotta check it out.

My camera is being serviced so thanks to Julia for letting me use her camera for most of these pictures!

Wow, those pictures are really good! I'm surprised they came out so perfect even though you didn't have your camera. I wish our reunion wasn't over! I can honestly say that I wasn't ready for it to end. I just love you guys so much! BRR baby! (shout out from left bed) So you're coming here in a few weeks? We should do seven peaks if you have time! Talk to you soon :)
