So I have to break my blog slump by posting a quick ode to my friend Amy Barlow! She is moving to Florida and I am so, so sad about it. Amy was one of the first people I met when we moved to McKinney and we instantly clicked. I can't believe her little guy, Garrett was only 1 and Scotty was just like a few months old.
That was 5 fantastic years ago and we have been through so much since then. She is seriously one of my favorite people on the planet. We have laughed together, cried together, cried while laughing and yes, even a few times even, disliked each other. We have gone to a gazillion baby showers, birthdays (I can't ever forget Jeff singing "Part Time Lover" karaoke and Sharalyn's bday), our kids birthdays at every play place in the state. We've shared the births of our own babies, shared our ups and downs, shared tragedies in ours and our friends lives, blessings, and bapstims... Lunch at McDonalds with our kids for a "play group" which really meant chat time for us.. dinners, desserts, late night movies.. and who could forget..Pat Benetar:)
My best memory of us is was at the Journey/Def Leppard concert, (hence the song playing now) a few summers ago--yeah baby!! That was one of the most fun times of my life. I will so miss you Amy and all the fun and friendship you have brought to my life. You are such an amazing peron, and it is hard to say goodbye ;(, but know we will always think of you and we wish you the best with all the great things that are to come-
Love you--
Here's all our boys on Halloween a few years ago..Scotty will miss Garrett so much!
Here's all the girls!
