Spontaneous Austin Reunion

How did it happen? We were 14 years old just "the other day." Now some of us have kids, some of us are about to have a kid, some of us are about to get married, and some of us are trying to look for "Mr. Right Mike." Some how, everything came together and a great group of friends met up in Austin for a little catching up. As if there wasn't enough to chat about, there was big news too: Sepi is engaged! And Lisa is having a baby GIRL! It certainly brought that warm fuzzy feeling of being around people you know and love, even if many miles come between us all. To see my friends with their families and kids and know they are all doing great puts a big smile on my face and reminds me of how lucky we really are. No matter the distance between us, know you are all in my heart. xo

This picture was taken before school on our last day of 8th grade..."
Almost twenty years later, here's our best attempt at recreating the picture
Let's redeem ourselves a bit with a smile
Friends since at least middle school, if not before... (Sepi, me, Krissy, Lisa on the top row. Crystal and Laura on the bottom row. Jodi MIA for now)
First time kayaking, in Barton Springs. I think Krissy and I did pretty swell! Next time, paddle boarding
Hello Saldivar Family!

I couldn't get enough of these boxers running and playing. Too bad Jack wasn't there to join in on the fun

Miles! I love ya!
Big brother & little brother (below), these two faces just make me smile
