Rain or shine...

When I was pregnant with Bubba, I joined a bulletin board of other moms pregnant and due around the same time.

Yes sorry blogging friends you are not my first go 'round with Internet friends.

We would get on the bulletin board daily and ask each other questions, talk about how we were feeling, etc. All of us anticipating the births of our lovely babies. When all were born, we continued to talk. Comparing milestones, sharing pictures, and generally getting our girl chats on.

That same group, still talks today. Our "babies" are all turning six. So seven years of conversing with these same ladies via the Internet, all of us scattered around the United States and a couple Canadians (eh?).

(Side note, they are much better at posting on our bulletin than they are at posting blogs *ahem*)

((However, I shouldn't talk because I haven't been to the board to update in months. *clears throat* HI GIRLS!!))

I've met two of the ladies from that group, one living here in Indiana and another living in St. Louis by my bestie Kimmy Sue.

This time, I was in another's backyard. I let her know via Facebook that I was going to be in neck of the woods and she excitedly said, "we MUST get together!"

Tuesday was the day!!

When we woke that morning, there was an odd, pitter patter on the roof.

Rain!! In Arizona yo.

It's been a strange winter/spring Holmes.

I texted Dre and said, "WHAT NOW???"

Kids really wanted to swim, that wasn't going to happen. My dream of the kids in the pool with Dre and I sittin pool side chatting with Mai Tei's or margaritas or daiquiris were shot. mmmm shoootttsss

Her response?

"I don't know, it's always sunny here, let me do some research on what we can do that's indoors!"

With a giggle and some time she got back to me on where we could go.

The Arizona Museum of History.

As soon as I saw her it felt like we were long lost friends that haven't seen each other for a while instead of never "seeing" each other before.

Ya know, when you talk to people online, you imagine them a certain way. Yes I knew what she looked like from pictures, but she is MUCH tinier in person than I had imagined. Tiny as in, shorter than me...and she had heels on...not only tiny in height, but like a size negative 10 or something ridiculous.

She is just as stunning in person as she is in her pictures.

And her children? GORGEOUS!!!

Her and I chatted the whole way to the museum, kids were quiet in the back of her mom mobile. Once we were at the museum the kids all loosened up and were talking, laughing and running around together.



Even though my pool side drinking idea was a no go, we did get along side this lovely gold digging exhibit. At least the water part of my dream was right on. The kids enjoyed this the most, like for an HOUR.

Where's that drink when you want/need it?







It was a great time, the museum was fun and the company was even better.

DRE...me and you? We're rooming together if our Moms in Vegas trip ever happens. :)
