16 years later!

Today I got to throw a bridal shower with two of my closest friends for one of our other closest friends.  Korey, Emily, and Lindsey (from left to right) have been friends of mine since I moved to Keller, TX when I was 15 years old.  That's right, we have been friends for 16 years.  (They have been friends longer!) Anyway, we went to four different colleges (A&M, Baylor, Texas Tech, and of course Oklahoma) and all moved back home after graduation.  SO most of us were moving back in with the parents and trying to find a J-O-B, one was hitting up TCU for a Masters.  Needless to say, we all reconnected and have been very close ever since.  Now the following pic, is unfortunately not from high school, but I had to share the old pic for fun. And yes those are pleather pants! It was either this pic or Halloween 2006, so.....YOUR WELCOME LADIES, mainly Korey a.k.a. Diana Ross (that's my guess, due to hair and my red sequin prom dress you are wearing)!

 

 


Now Emily (standing next to me in the bottom pic) is getting married in May to a guy who totally adores her, Shane, and whom we all adore as well.  We were so excited to throw her a shower and I wanted to commemorate it with none other than a blog post. YAY!  So here are some pics from Em's shower. 

Updated Picture!

My Mother and Owen

This cake was beautiful and amazing made lovingly by none other than, Korey's dad!

 
He made the cookies too!

 
 Looking forward to the big wedding in four short weeks when we get to be Emily's bridesmaids.  Better break out the heels and start practicing now!

Meeting Baby Casen!

We are on our way home from a one night stay in Oklahoma to meet the newest addition to the family, Casen. My brother and sister in law had an adorable little boy that is now 2 1/2 weeks old. Not to mention, Owen had so much fun hanging with his older cousins! Not sure why we didn't consider adopting older children a little more after seeing them totally entertain O the whole day, but being around that sweet little newborn makes us so excited for the future. We enjoyed our dinner at the Hibachi restaurant in Norman although Casen slept through the while thing and Owen was clinging to me like a little monkey. Always get a little absorbed in college day memories when I go to Norman, and love seeing all the OU gear everywhere! Here are some pics from our quick trip!
