Yesterday some of my best girlfriends and I got together for a good ol’ fashioned bridal shower!

Us girls have been friends since high school, and my friend Laura is getting married in May. We had to be there to celebrate and support. :)

Isn’t she gorgeous? Talk about a Barbie bride!

We took the opportunity to re-take the classic synchronized swimming picture circa Jr or Sr year of high school. My, what a difference a decade makes!

From boys and yearbooks, to husbands and babies, I’m so glad we’ve all remained so close over the years! :)

Afterwards, Ben re-proposed to me with a ring pop and we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Monterrey, for dinner.

Cheese enchilada with a side of rice (how do they get their rice so fluffy and perfect? HOW?!)

Insert March Madness and margaritas at the local watering hole, and we were ready to call it a night by 10pm. Those are my favorite kinds of nights. Get out early, have some fun, then get yo’ butt in bed at a reasonable hour. Yes?

    My bestie and I have been best friends since 3rd grade (19 years).We don’t get to see each other that often these days,but when we are together,it’s as if we were never apart to begin with.It’s awesome to have someone like that in my life.

    It’s great having those special friends that know “you” from back when. I have 2 amazing friends of that nature and they are my family more than my family sometimes! I think it’s great how we can go months without talking and pick up right where we left off!

    That mexican looks to die for! We finally found a reputable texmex here in Spain and I’m excited to try it.

    I’m still very close with 2 of my friends from high school (actually known them all the way from 1st – 12th). Old friends are the best! That pic is hilarious Kristin, all the bright lipstick cracks me up. Looking at old pics I’m always amazed at all the lipstick we wore too! These days if I’m super fancy it’s lip stain and gloss in a neutral color with a bit of shine, back then it was re-applying my brick colored colorstay lipstick all day.
