Old friends

My very dear friends Tara and Todd came to visit us in October. It had been 10 years since I last saw them!! Tara and I are what you call friend soulmates. We met in a random psychology class when Jill and I went to the University of Tennessee. For some reason we chatted on a bench outside of class one day and a great friendship began.

Not too long after that she moved in with me and Jill. Tara and I literally shared a room. Complete with twin beds. It was like camp every night! What a blast! Jill and I moved back to Athens but Tara remained a part of our family.

Over time we all grew up. Tara and Todd (who she began dating when we were roommates) married and had 3 kids. And we drifted apart a little bit. But a few years ago we reconnected and she is still just the same wonderful friend she was 10 years ago!

We were so happy to have them come into town to visit...although we missed having their kids come!

Crossing my fingers that they can move here for good!!!
Thanks for coming Todd and Tara - we miss y'all!!


Mommy and Abby after lunch - Tara and Todd are professional photographers!

Sweet Abby - This smile is for Todd I'm sure. She adored him! Seriously.

Hugging the giant pumpkin

Don't you just want to squeeze her?!

Love


PS. As they were rushing out the door to the airport, it dawned on me that we had absolutely no pictures of them! So I have a picture of Tara and Todd with Abby on my cell phone that I'll have to add later. (And lots more pics from the photo shoot to come....)
