Girl Friends are Good for You

Flannery's friend Lucy slept over tonight.  They have been so cute dressing up, dancing around, and generally talking nonstop.  Here's a rare serious moment from Flanna.  


The girls even ate dinner in fairy wings and high heels.  Too cute.  


In all seriousness, though, I'm so glad that Flanna has such sweet friends.  Girlfriends are good for everyone.  We chat, we listen, we talk about insignificant stuff, we talk about deep stuff, we support, we push one another to be better people.  We just generally rock.  Don't believe me?  Check out the the research on girl friends over at MWF Seeking BFF.  (I just love that blog).  

Now go call your sister or your BFF and talk nonstop for a little while.  It'll do you good!

Spending the Night! and News!


It seems like forever since I last posted!  Sorry to be on an unannounced hiatus last week!  I got super busy with work, Spanish class, and trying to cook/clean/have it all.  :)  So, I'm going to try to catch you up on our happenings in one fell swoop.  You may need to take notes...we've been busy!

Flanna spent the night with her sweet friend Lucy last week.  She was soooo excited to go!  She kept saying, "I'm going to Lucyyyyyy's!"  She got all dolled up in her brand new hair bows from her Grammie, her bracelet from her Grandma, and a dress with a ruffle down the front.

She did great on her first sleepover that wasn't with family!  When we picked her up the next day, she was thrilled to report how she got to sleep on the top bunk of Lucy's bunk bed, and how she had sooo much fun!

And Robi and I had an evening out on the town!  We took a nice walk, then went to dinner and a movie, and it was so refreshing to have time alone to talk and relax.  This must be what life is like when you live close to family and they can steal your child for the weekend.  I sort of remember what that's like.

Speaking of which,  I have news!!!

My hubby has a new job!  Down south!  Near our family!

We'd been hoping for him to find something here in the Durham area so I could keep this dream job I have right now.  (Seriously, I currently have the best job I'll probably ever have in my whole life.)  But, alas, that was not to be.

The job he found is pretty great, though!  At a fancy schmancy school and teaching super interesting classes.

And did I mention it's near family?  Cause that's pretty huge.

We're very excited!




Where would you choose to live, if you could live anywhere at all?
