January

The past few years I have gotten the great pleasure to have my Dad fly home with us after Christmas. I look forward to the one-on-one time I get with him. He makes us laugh and is so easy to please. An umbrella, a good book, and a beach is all he needs. I can't wait for him to come again. 

(Thanks Larissa- the HIGHLIGHT of his trip)

I got to go cheer on some INCREDIBLE friends who run fast.
If it wasn't super weird, I would probably go and sit at finish lines every weekend.
So emotional. So uplifting.

We had to participate in the powerball madness.
We didn't even get the satisfaction of thinking we COULD win.
Didn't even have one number.

Sj had a work conference in Orlando. Work by day, Disney by night.

For almost a year, Jenny and I begged the Rita's establishment to get Root Beer flavor.
It finally happened! (and it wasn't even that great...) But we loved being addressed as
"the root beer girls"

More Disney fun:

I love Winnie the Pooh! My first word was poooooh..

How adorable is my little friend Ross??!
Tipped Mickey hat.
uneven mickey socks.
hands in pockets.
dead.

Speaking of my little Rossy sauce, his parents moved and took him away from me. 

I miss our little dates.

..I guess I miss his mama too ;) Last summer when all our friends were out of town, the three of us got super close. I loved laughing with these ladies and miss our little trio. Thankfully they humored me with a little friendship photoshoot before Hays left. I love surrounding myself with strong hilarious women!

His little hand on Shaun's knee? melting.
Loved watching these two together.
COME BACK CASTLES!
