Easter 2012: part 1

this morning, i spent brunch with karen c. and her kids.

she had them for Easter today and i was honored to be invited.

i got to meet their other bbsitter from Denison, and the tallentires were there too.

it was so fun to just chat and catch up, and see the kids.

{although, i didn't have a whole lot of time to be with them.  they were all wound up with people in teh house}

regardless, it was such a fun way to spend my saturday.

then i got to spend the afternoon with bishop at RR coffee.

and while there, i ran into everyone and their mothers.

jess w., kailee k., marie m., olivia hos., clint h., and many others.

it was like a little granville reunion fest!

AND kailee, jess, and bishop got to talking about africa!

they both have been to the same spots.  it was so cute to see them all talking about this place they love. 

i got most of my politics paper done, and just have to do some final editing stuff.

i tell ya, i am not a fan of this paper!  

usually i love papers.  but not this one.

i just am past the point of caring. LOL.

{me, reilly, mrs. t., karen, justin, emily, sarah, mr. t.

and why i felt the need to stand in the back?!  no idea.

i should have stood to the right of reilly haha.}

{me, justin and sarah!}

i tell ya. one of the best things about my job is that it's not just a job.

i form families.  and i wouldn't want it any other way!

mrs. t at one point was talking about dances {reilly is going to prom next weekend!}

and then asked which dance i went to with alex, her son.

the answer was sophomore homecoming.

anyways, she asked if i knew that was the only time in him and greg smith's friendship that they got in a fight.  to which i said 'no, what over?'

the obvious answer was me. say, what?

i guess they both wanted to ask me, so alex rushed to ask me first.

that didn't make greg too happy.

i can't believe i never knew this. especially since gville is tiny.

but i am so so flattered....all 5 years later.

they are both great guys, but i'm glad alex beat him to the punch :).

in honor of going to hc with alex, here are some throwback pics.

{i love this.  i was so giddy}

{pretending i knew what i was doing}

{allll the group! scott/susan, david/jess, alex/me, jameson/alex, patrick/marie, amanda/michael, taylor/dillon, anna/sam}}

{and it wouldn't be hc without a bathroom pic! haha}

{all the ladies--marie, amanda b., anna c., taylor h., alex n., me, ty}

{one of my favorites.  so so pretty}

oh i miss high school sometimes.

i am thankful for the fun times i had with great groups of friends!
