I get by with a little help from my friends

I am so excited to spend some quality time with two of my closest friends tonight!  We are going to drink wine, look through my large stack of bridal magazines (Thank you, Mom & Mrs. Elking!), and watch Bridesmaids and The Wedding Singer.  Are you sensing a theme, or is it just me?  I just can't wait to hug Liz & Stacy.  I haven't seen either of them since Tyler popped the question!

If only Joelle could join us, it would be the perfect night!  I guess I'll let it slide, since she has had some very exciting things happening in her life recently, too!

Tomorrow, the three of us are going to a baby(ies) shower for Liz's sister, Emily, who is expecting twins at the end of the year!  I could not be more excited for them.  I just wish they would hurry up!  How long does it take to cook those buns in that oven of yours, Em?  Crank up the heat!

Oh, and thanks to Liz's boyfriend, Stouty, for letting us have this soiree at his apartment.

Have a good weekend, everyone!  If you're spending time with friends, enjoy every minute.  I know that I will!
