My 100th Blog Post! {Angie N Photography: Jasper, TX Area Photographer}

I didn't realize it till I logged in, but this post is my 100th blog post! Sometimes I feel I am so neglectful to this blog, that having posted 100 times seems almost impossible. Have I really blogged 100 times??? Yesterday, the kids were out for the MLK holiday, and our previous neighbors /very good friends decided to come for a visit. These people were not just our neighbors. We were and are tight! Our babies were babies together, we walked in and out of one anothers homes unannounced. I raided her pantry and fridge anytime I wanted (she's a great cook, went to culinary school), and she raided my fridge for a measly diet coke. Her house was always a wreck, and her pantry and fridge were full. My house was clean, and we had NOTHING to eat! We were a great pair! We worked in our yards together, watched each others kids, did school carpool as they grew up. Worked out together while the kids were at school. She responded to the "I am in labor, get over here quick" call when Brady decided to come at 12 a.m. We've bounced every motherly question/I don't know what to do, what would you do scenario regarding our kids you can think of off each other. I truly miss them. Brandi, James, Katie, Abby, and Ellie. I miss them all! In December of 2009, they bought a new house and were leaving our neighborhood. Only two miles from us, but it was still so hard to see them go. The weekend they were to move, I was in my car heading to Jasper. And we talked (and cried) almost my entire way there about how weird it would be not to be neighbors anymore. A year went by, and we too left the neighborhood, and now here we are living in the country. Things change, people move. But yesterday, when they arrived here, our kids picked up right where they left off...as if NOTHING had ever changed. And so did Brandi and I:) Can't wait to see them again. Soon! Very Soon!
