Carter's Birthday

On September 15th, my great nephew, Carter, turned 1. I can't believe how fast this last year has gone by. But then again, it seems like just yesterday his dad, Eric, was born. Geesh. I'm old. But I am so proud of the man that Eric has become and his son is such a cutie. Here are some pictures from the birthday party.

He was spoiled rotten!

I think he got everything under the sun. Deservedly so! (Is that a word?)

His daddy bonked him in the face with one of the toys. How dare he!

Eric and Jenn 9/5/08

Eric and Jennifer's wedding was Friday night and it was so beautiful. They got married at a place called The Bishops House. It is out by the Old Penetentiary. It was an evening wedding that was held outside in the yard. And it was the perfect night for it. The wedding went off without a hitch and I am so happy for both of them. Here are some photos of the blessed event.

Best Friend Forever

Today is my BFF Nona's 37th Birthday. Nona and I have been best friends since the 5th grade. 1981 to be exact. That is 27 years!!! There is probably nothing that she doesn't know about me. And I her. We are two peas in a pod. We can look at each other and know exactly what the other is thinking. We are each other's memories. When I don't remember something, she knows it. And vise versa. We can go 6 months without talking and pick up right where we left off. That's what is great about having a BFF. We have gone our separate ways here and there over the years, but have always maintained our BFF status.
Photobucket
We became instant friends as soon as we met. There was no "getting to know you" time in our friendship. We met and were instantly best friends. Inseperable.
Photobucket
We shared everything, except for clothes.
Photobucket
She always had better fashion sense than I did.
Photobucket
But I was better in the "beautify" department. As you can see by my lovely makeover I performed on her.
Photobucket
We always went Trick-or-Treating together. And now even take our kids together.
Photobucket
She met her future hubby in 10th grade, I met Flyboy in 11th grade. We went to the dances together Senior year and had our photo's taken together.
Photobucket
When we went to Prom, I think we only danced once because our "hubbies to be" spent the entire evening competing with each other by bringing us flowers and balloons from the Prom decorations. It was hilariously great fun.
Photobucket
After graduation, we both attended BSU and learned how to be dental assistants together. We even worked in the same office and got to go on a business trip to Hawaii. What great luck is that?
Photobucket
She got married before I did and I was in her wedding. And when I got married, she was in mine.
Photobucket
We even celebrated mine by doing "blow jobs" together. THE DRINKS, MOM!
Photobucket
She has always been there when I have needed her.
Photobucket
Today, we went to lunch together to celebrate her birthday. I was lucky and had the day off.
Photobucket
She is and will always be my BFF. Happy Birthday Kanona!
