High School Friends

The 2nd weekend in January we went to my friend Kristyn's house for our annual high school get together.  We get together as a group at least a couple times a year and I always look forward to hanging out with this wonderful, fun group of friends!  

It is really neat to keep in touch with the people I was close to in high school - we have seen each other grow up as we've shared excitement over moving away from home for the first time, watched each other's personalities change and develop through college years, offered encouragement when relationships failed and shared happiness when we fell in love, seen each other's careers blossom and change, and celebrated lots of engagements and marriages and pregnancies! 

This year we had a Mexican food theme and everyone outdid themselves!  We had margaritas, nachos/dips/yummy sides, Mexican chicken soup, and flan.  I can't believe we have four children in our group and another one on the way (congrats Heather!)!  It was a fun night and I look forward to the next time we're all together again. 

A few pictures from the night (keep scrolling for the flashback at the end!)...



Beautiful Tenley (Kristyn & Chris' daughter)

Yes Duncan chicks do rock!  (the Purkeys' boy)

Love this kid!

So cute!  Lyla (the Purkeys' girl)


Not sure how I didn't get a picture of Isaac!  But I think I have more pictures of him from the past couple years than his parents do, haha!

And now for the flashback...I don't actually have any pictures from high school because that would require scanning and I'm not that dedicated.  But these go back far enough!

A familiar scene at my parents' house :)
