SHAUNA'S HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I fib. Shauna's here & I fib. We're not wild. We're the exact opposite of wild.
After taking the kids to school we got ready & went to.................. a Bible study class. Do I now how to show my friend a good time or what? Seriously though Shuana loved it. I knew she would. We could have spent the whole day listening to our teacher go on & on about the Old Testament. She was that good.
Then we split a turkey & avocado sandwich at Great Harvest before doing errands for my church calling with a stop at CVS to pick up a prescription for Shauna. Completely crazy.
Refusing to buy this sweatsuit until the lady knocked it down to $5 at the thrift store. Radical.
Bringing back 70's Secretary Chic. $5
Shauna's books and my other picks, a sweater for Lila $3 & pet shops for Lila $1.
Our dinner (x2). Water is the crazy person's beverage of choice.
After dinner entertainment was helping the kids do homework & watching Shauna's son play the piano on her iphone.
Out of control.
We did let loose at the yogurt store of course.
But we just couldn't seem to shake these 3.
But the craziest thing of all? This girl I love until my heart breaks. Who loves me right back. Who patiently teaches me by her sweet, kind, patient example. Who is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful people I know...........
She's pregnant with her 7th child.
"This girl I love until my heart breaks. Who loves me right back."
ReplyDeleteUhm, I loved that. If you don't have a best friend that fits that bill, you definitely do not have one.
So happy you get to do a thousand ordinary things and make them extrordinary with her. It's kinda a stolen quote but it fits.
And today she's helping me plan a church lesson for Sunday & go to Costco, am I fun or what? But you're right, we have fun no matter what.
DeleteLovely post.
ReplyDelete7th child?! She's amazing!
And you two are amazing together, too. ;)
Thanks Mariana!
DeleteCongrats to Shauna on the baby! Is she one of your sisters or a friend? Regardless she's beautiful. How DO you get your self photos to always come out so well. My are usually pretty pukey. Enjoy your visit...I know you will. Oh, yeah...you are Still the Queen of Thrifting!
ReplyDeleteNatural lighting & luck. There might have to be some thrifting today as well.
DeleteFriend. But we look more alike than my sisters & I ever will. She doesn't have any sisters and she's so close to my whole family that we pretty much are sisters.
DeleteI must be one of those crazy people too...I totally order water everytime we eat out and that's all I drink at home. :) So glad you had such a great time! And that yogurt looks SOOO delish. :)

A few things,
ReplyDeleteFirst - I was going to tell you that I liked that t-shirt in the very 1st pic on the post. Now, I like it even more! Can't believe you snagged that!!
Second - You sooo brought back secretary chic in that pink dress!! Those shoes --swoon worthy too! You know I love my pink!!
Third - I don't know whose smile is bigger in these pics. I love when I see that kind of relationship it warms my heart!
Fourth - Congrats to Shauna and her family!! Cheers to a happy healthy pregnancy!!!
You both look just like you did in 2001! How???? Totally beautiful. Miss you both.
ReplyDeleteYes we do, thanks for bringing that up.
DeleteMiss you too Britt.
You pull off that pink dress beautifully! My daughters would be beyond thrilled if I scored Littlest Pet Shop toys for $1 like that!
ReplyDeleteOh My GOsh!!!! Congratulations to Shuana, she is definatley are super woman becuase most moms I know cant think past 2 kids, three is over the top ,she manages to raise 3 times that, makes me tired just thinking of it!!! Does she know what she is having???? I know the sequence has been boy, girl, boy, girl, etc!!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern continues. It's a boy!
DeleteI was talking to my bff this morning. Nothing like having someone to feel totally comfortable with. Every day things are better with a friend by your side.
ReplyDeleteWell look at those two lovely ladies! Great to see you gals together! Way to be tough at the thrift store!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE that pink dress from the thrift store!!!! I love thrifting and wish I had more time to do it.....Looks like you two gals had a great time! I love spending time with my bestfriend and we act like a bunch a teenage girls when we get together
ReplyDeleteWow, baby number 7! Is Shauna one of those Mormons? ;) She is my super hero. Perhaps she'd like three more...they're potty trained, look like Troy, and only like eating pizza and ice-cream. Love you guys...don't get too wild and crazy...xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYeah she's totally one of those crazy Mormons who love kids & family. Weird.
DeleteThat pink dress is SO cute! Oh my gosh! Great thrift store find. I did a bunch of shopping today because I really wanted a Maxi dress. I couldn't find one that looked right on me, until I hit up Ross. I ended up finding one for $12!!!! I'm pretty happy. And I have it on right now ;) hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love a cute maxi dress. Ross, Marshall's & TJ Max can be goldmines.
DeleteYou two could be sisters! Did anyone tell you that while you were hanging out?
ReplyDeleteI love how CRAZY you guys get! This sounds like a typical day with my best friend Sara. We call ourselves Sara(h) since I have an H and she doesn't. :o) We're just as crazy as you guys! ;o)
7th child? Seriously...she doesn't look old enough to have 7 kids. But that's amazing! What a blessing!
People ask all the time if we're sisters. We look way more alike than my 2 real sisters & I ever will.
DeleteYou look like sisters. So wonderful to be able to spend such a great time with a buddy. Congrats to your friend on her 7th baby. God Bless
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm wild too because that pretty much sounds like a perfect day. You two are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou guys look SO cute. I'm all about letting loose at the yogurt store. Did some of that yesterday with my Mom!
ReplyDeleteSoUtHeRnPiNkY.bLoGsPoT.cOm
We let loose there 3 nights in a row!
DeleteSounds like you guys are having an awesome visit together! I love good friends like that...who can make your day just by being in the same room as you. Congrats to Shauna! I can't believe she has had 6 kids already! She looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI saw that snap of you two at the top of the post and practically screamed! What a fabulous gathering. There's nothing more perfect than getting together with a beloved girlfriend and it sounds like you're both enjoying The Perfect Time.

p.s. I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I was totally jealous of your fro yo summit.
p.s.s. LOVE the secretary-chic dress. I am absolutely into it!
Thanks Kat, we enjoy the time spent together so much. Friendships are so worth it.
DeleteYou girls are crazy ;) and #7, god bless her, what an amazing woman!
ReplyDeleteI'm about as crazy with my best friend...except that we each have our OWN sandwiches instead of sharing. We're just nuts like that. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this. You are so lucky to have each other...the best times spent with a friend are in just in a day-to-day capacity. And I just want to randomly add that you are both gorgeous!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
We were pinching pennies. It made more sense to split a sandwich and then load up on free samples, see how my mind works Ameena? :) For dessert I ate my HUGE sample of Cinnaburst (pictured) I was stuffed! And trust me, that is hard to do.
DeleteAhhhhh you seriously are like the CUTEST friend ever. I would love a day like that :) 7 kids? Holy moly. Amazing, and she looks fantastic1 You both do! I'm due tomorrow with #2 but it looks like he's gonna camp out there for awhile. Oh well, more time to read blogs and thrift ;)
ReplyDeleteYour visit sounds a lot like me and my girlfriends! ha :) Friends are the best. Love that you find such cute clothes for such bargain prices. I love shopping in the kids section when I can. So much cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI love that you two have fun no matter what you do, you simply enjoy each others company and that is such a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteYour girls gone wild post looks just like what mine would look like! haha
ReplyDeleteAnd wow! I don't know how to feel sane with one child sometimes! I don't know how seven would work!
One at a time. Thinking of many at once is overwhelming, but as they get older they can be such great helpers. And fun, oh yeah, kids are fun!
Deletetotally in love with that "secretary" dress. i can't believe you got it for $5!!
ReplyDeletexo TJ
That dress is awesome! Love thrift stores!! I love that sweatsuit too. Glad you had a good time with your sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE PINK DRESS! So cute :)
ReplyDeleteAnd this all looks so fun! You both have gorgeous eyes!
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know you have a great friend when you can do nothing spectacular and have a GREAT time! My friend and I have plans to go "wild and crazy" this weekend by painting the walls in my bedroom...and I can't wait! Hopefully some froyo will be involved on this end, as well :)
ReplyDeleteSo true! A real friend is right there with you whether it's planning a church lesson or painting walls.
DeleteI'd never have guessed...mother of seven! She looks so young . So much fun you girls had. :)
ReplyDeleteShe is young, she's 34! Her oldest is 11, as is mine. Our next two are 9 & 7. Then she just up and decided to have 4 more without me.
Delete--Omygosh,
ReplyDeleteYou are Absolutely Adorable.
I looooove your girls day out!
Food. Converstion. Laughter. God.
I miss doing that stuff w/ my sister sooooooooooo much.
Love the post. Xx
You sure do live on the wild side of life.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I want a Shauna!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to her and her 7th child. How very wonderful that you two wild and crazy girls can still get together and enjoy some time (mostly kid free).
Such a sweet best friend. Good to know that you two really loves each other - I can tell by your post. It's very sweet. Good luck with Shauna's 7th child.
