Old friends....new beginnings :)

My best friend since grade school and I have been through so much together!! Soccer, soccer, and more soccer, haunted houses every year for her birthday, sleep overs that I always seemed to get sick at :), being shunned from her house unless Mrs. Reiniger had a seven day notice to make sure the house was spotless, countless time spent at Pittsford Plaza (yuck), 2 am Wegmans runs, railroad tracks in ER, numerous concerts, refereeing, wather authority, and of course the numerous times we got together whenever we came home from college and now.......when I come in town to visit home.

Lindsay is one of those friends that you can go six months without talking too (not by my choice but hers......and she will admit to it) and pick up right where we left off. She knows absolutely everything about me the good and the bad and accepts me for who I am. We have so many awesome memories, probably the most memorable and life changing so far is this past July! Who would've thought that after all of these years, we would get married in our hometown one week apart from each other. I guess that's just par for the course with our friendship and it couldn't have been more perfect :)

When Lindsay and Marc got engaged, Lindsay called me and said that July 16th would be their six year anniversary of dating and they were looking to get married that day. Since Jason and I had already set our date for July 9th, this would've meant that I couldn't attend her wedding because we would be on our honeymoon (which turned out hasn't happened yet!!). I was really disappointed at first because I wanted to be a part of their big day as much as I wanted her to be a part of mine!! They ended up changing their mind and setting their date to July 1st which meant that we could both be at each other's weddings!! What a crazy two weeks that was helping each other out and making sure everything was perfect......and it was for both of us! Lindsay was an absolutely beautiful bride and they were so happy together!

For twelve years I've been trying to get Lindsay to come down to North Carolina or Georgia to visit me since I moved down south in '99. All of my attempts proved unsuccessful......but there is ONE thing that could entice her to come down here.......and it finally did......BRITNEY SPEARS!! Ok.......so......anyone that knows Lindsay and I whether it is a casual coworker or close friend know about both of us being diehard Britney fans........yes even through all of her troubles! Lindsay and I have been to three of her concerts together and some others on our own......and I was SOOOO excited for her and Marc to come down and visit Jason and I.......even if it had to be a super short trip due to our schedules!! The four of us got to spend a lot of time together in the three days they were here and we had so much fun hiking (sorry J for having to work!!), going to dinner, and of course.....the concert!! Here are some pics of our adventures (and sorry hubbies......while I was posting this I realized we didn't take any pics with you!!)

                        Of course we had to get a pic with Brit Brit before we left.....haha (yes we are dorks!!)

I am so glad that Lindsay and Marc made the trip down to NC to visit us! Jason and I are so blessed to have such great friends and people in our life.........old and new!! It is so important to have a great support network in addition to our relationship and we are very thankful of that........and of course.......Lindsay and I are both thankful for having hubbies that will go to Britney concerts with us.......haha :)
