Flagler reunion!

Just before we left for North Carolina, we had a whirlwind reunion with some of our fabulous Flagler friends.  Michelle and Karisse converged on Jacksonville for a whole 16 hours, and we packed in as much fun and as little sleep as we could.

First. . .girls night on Friday night! Big thanks to Karisse and her obsession with Instagram and taking pictures with her phone, so I could steal them :)

Michelle, Sarah, Karisse, and I 

Michelle hadn't ever met Tanner - OR Bryce. So clearly, we haven't seen each other in FAR TOO LONG. She lives in Texas, but is now required to come to Jacksonville more often to see me! :)

Barista Eric got everyone going on Saturday morning, making jumbo caffeinated beverages.

And Bryce caused Karisse to fear for her life, with his Nerf gun.

Then, the BIG party began. . .some of our local Flagler friends came for brunch and a MAJOR catch-up session. The weather was perfect for some fabulous photos!

Karisse and Michelle and all the kiddos. . . .

Some things never change. . ..a seriously goofy picture!!!!

Karisse was here with a UHaul, moving things to her new house in DC. (And Michelle was meeting her here to road trip with her.)

Here's a lovely two-photo shot of Eric pretending to be hit by the UHaul. 

 I'm pretty sure Bryce was begging Karisse and Michelle to take him with them. Sorry, no third seat buddy.  From here, Karisse and Michelle proceeded to drive straight through to DC, trying to stay ahead of Hurricane Sandy. They had QUITE an adventure.  And then we left, the next day to go on our own trip!

It was SO SO good to see all my girlfriends!!!! It doesn't matter how many months or years go by, it's always like things haven't changed a bit. (Except for the addition of children, jobs, moves etc!)
