Roommate Reunion!

Last Friday night, my honey took me on a date and we had a great time. We split one of the brand new (incredibly yummy) pizzas at Panera first, and then headed to our wonderfully cheap theater here in town (that we affectionately call “The Two-Dollar Theater”). We watched “Over the Hedge” and absolutely loved it. My sister told me we had to see it and that it was hilarious, and she was right.

We got home and realized we had no pictures from the night, so I asked Rich if we could just take one or two. I thought we were taking a normal, sweet picture, but no! My husband was totally uncooperative (without my knowledge).

So I looked at our digital camera screen after the first picture, and I caught on. No normal pictures tonight. So I gave in…

If this is the way it’s gonna be, two can DEFINITELY play this game!

Wow. I must have laughed too hard at Rich’s face in the previous picture, cause his feelings are hurt in this one…

Then we did one of the cool spinny photos that Nathan showed us, but I think between the previous picture and this one, Rich must have had a little something to drink…ha! Maybe I should stop making fun of him and try to smile in a normal fashion while taking the picture AND making it do the cool spinny thing. Maybe it’s a little harder than it looks! Or maybe not…

Ah! Now this is a little better…good job, honey!

Then on Saturday, I was so happy to hear that Kyle and Heidi (a college roommate and good friend) were coming through town on their way to vacationing in Florida. Rich and I met up with them at Panera downtown and had breakfast together. We are very much hoping that Kyle and Heidi decide to move back to Chattanooga, as they are currently living in Indianapolis.

Here are a couple of shots we took downtown on Saturday morning…

Then we took a goofball picture, and apparently, Heidi thought it would be funny to close her eyes AND stick out her tongue. She’s just crazySomehow I managed to look scared and appalled at the same time!

Then we headed to Trevor and Briana’s (another college roomate and good friend) place in St. Elmo. We had been there for about a half hour when Heidi decided she couldnt take it any longer, and she HAD to tell us the news. She told us that Bailey, their dog, was going to have a little brother or sister. So Briana asked a clarifying question: “You’re gonna get another dog?” When Heidi smiled and shook her head, Briana said, “You’re pregnant?”

And then we jumped up and down and hugged and congraulated while our husbands sat there, looking on with astonishment at the instantaneous transformation of 25 year old women into giddy little girls. Here are a few shots of our time at Bri and Trevor’s after we found out Heidi’s happy news.

I think my husband should be a photojournalist. Check out his ability to tell a story as it unfolds…

Even Bailey was excited. She is hoping for a little sister to play with!

The guys gathered in a safe place in the room while their wives celebrated with each other…

And in closing, a self-portrait of the gals…

Congratulations, Kyle and Heidi!!!
