Make New Keep Old

I asked my college roommates to come come to my house and I have been thrilled ever since! We planned this for like three months so it gave me a lot of time to plan!  We all left the weekend realizing how good it was for our soul! We were revitalized after being together!  Kim and Kia came Thursday night and we were up until 3 talking!  Then Friday we did a little shopping and picked out Lauren from the airport!  Right after, we found Emily who was trying on wedding dresses!  It was fun!

 Before we left my house after picking up Lauren, she asked if she should put her 19 Kids and Counting book in her purse just in case she ran into any of the Duggars!  Lauren came to my house  three years ago and we knocked on the Duggars door! Lauren got me hooked on their series! She loves them, it is the only show she watches and I have been following in her footsteps!  Chad says Lauren loves Michelle Duggar because she is so much like her!  Lauren has that sweet Godly spirit like Michelle.  I never run into the Duggars, Kia and I both kind of felt bad because the odds of running into them are very low. Well needless to say, we picked Lauren up at 12:30 and went to Market Place(our favorite restaurant) at 3 and the first table we see has none other than the sweetest woman on cable TV!

 I screamed to Lauren when I saw her and Lauren was a bit star struck! Michelle calls her fans her friends and told us it was a God thing we ran into her! I was so glad Lauren brought her book!  She gave us signed cards with their picture on them.  The back is full of Bible verses and notes about Jesus!  Harry was so excited about it when I got home!  Harry things he is Jason Duggar!  We had to do a quick drive by on Saturday, they put a fence up since our last visit! Saturday we shopped and lunch at Fish City Grill and dinner at Table Mesa! Afterwards we hit Footloose!  It was the perfect time with my friends! We were up way too late every night!

 Kia left to spend the rest of the day with her family on Saturday and Kim left on Sunday morning.  Lauren helped me teach the tree year olds and we hit the best Sunday lunch place in our area!  Fred's Hickory with Chad and the kids outside did not disappoint!  It is my new favorite Sunday place!

 Every time I talked to Chad over the weekend I would just say "I am so happy!"!!  Happy HAPPY!  It was a very happy weekend with my friends who I love so much!  We loved talking about old memories and catching up on our current lives!  These three girls are just beyond precious to me! I can't wait until our next weekend together!
Monday was a whole new friendly day! My friends here in Bentonville all celebrated Kathy's big 4-0!  She is my closest friend here in NWA and we have so much in common yet we are so different and I love that about her! It was so fun celebrating with our friends on her special night!
