An Easter Visit

"I live for the simple moments, the moments that make me smile, the moments that take my breath away, the moments that make me cry, but the moments that mean the world to me are the ones spent with friends...all the remember whens, and the times we finish each other's sentences, every second we spend together, are the ones that I want to remember forever."  ~Board of Wisdom

On Easter evening, I made a little trek to northeastern New Mexico to see two of my dearest friends, Super Mom and ND Friend.  I hadn't seen Super Mom in about 8 years, and I had never met her husband and sweet boys, and it was great to have ND Friend and Tiny Dancer closer than Chicago for a weekend!

Love these girls so much!!

We just hung out at Super Mom's house, played with the boys, ate pizza, laughed a ridiculous amount and had the best time.  At one point, all of us--5 adults and three kiddos were in one of the boy's rooms just hanging out.  There was a basketball game going, tractors being played, books being read.  And at that moment I looked around and just tried to soak it all in, because it couldn't have been more perfect.

I am so thankful for these girls (and their family) and their friendship, and an Easter visit was a the perfect way to celebrate that!
