friends + food

I got the unique chance to hang out with not one, not two, but 10 of my closest friends all in one weekend.

Saturday, worlds collided with Kate and Katherine for a Ladies Lunch blogger style. Sunday it was an all out reunion with Casey, Sarah, Annie, Zack, Charlie and Courtney. There was an underlying theme through this whole weekend, though.

1. We like to laugh. No joke if we're not laughing... it's because something grave just happened like all the puppies died.

2. We REALLY like food - Saturday I ate all day starting with m. henry and it ended with Argo Tea with some Trader Joe's in the middle. Sunday we ate non-stop... El Campesino, Starbucks, Cracker Barrel and there was a serious vying for Jaenicke's but it lost out to rain. I was full from the time I got there to the time I left. Honestly, I feel like I can bare my soul easier when it's over a giant bowl of coffee. Bonds are formed as you pass the chips and salsa. And I should have brought some Pepto.

Also that little baby up there? made my life. Next time I'm requesting a hangout with JUST Sofia De la Rosa, please. We'll just sing all day and clap, point and babble and I'll be really happy about it.

Please help me in welcoming Sofia De La Rosa otherwise known as Sofie Starfoxxx (so dubbed by yours truly! I'm super good at nicknames - that's going on the resumé)

how beautiful is this baby? also her momma is equally gorgeous for naturally birthing this little muffin

I've also been calling her my baby bff. seriously. designated baby-sitter anyone? me. talking about myself. also i can't wait to have my own kiddies. but for now i'm content on showering this one with knitted things and cupcakes for her mom to indulge haha

Brief story! this is the first friend I've ever had that I've been like super excited about the birth. My sister gave birth twice but I was 10 and 12 and not really allll the way THERE maturity-wise. Last night I hardly slept. I texted Kate's husband about every two hours for updates. Kate, who texted DURING her labor (which is epic) was texting me updates and I'm telling her pushing techniques and telling her to breathe. I also realized I could totally be an ob/gyn if I didn't have to go through 100 more years of school. 

*sigh* awesome.
