This past month has been a fun one. We had a mini spring break at the coast (see previous post) then I got to celebrate my 35th with my best girlfriends. My oldest friend (she's going to strangle me for that) came up from Rogue River which was so special. We've been like sisters since 1997 and I miss being able to just drive across town to visit and talk about the everyday little stuff. Some other friends from Portland and of course Corvallis also joined us (there were 7 of us in total) for dinner and a movie, in which I giggled through like a 15 year old girl. I regressed in my maturity level for a few hours and we had so much fun.
I've known each of these girls for over a decade and I couldn't ask for better life-long friends. Ene, Shannon, and Tara. We've seen each other through our single days, through our college years, through different relationships, through different jobs, and even while having families of our own. Love, love, love them.
This past week I met my friend Mandy and her two daughters in Woodburn for a tulip festival. We had never been before and it was a much bigger production than I thought. There were several rides for kids, a playground, food booths (with elephant ears!), and of course the amazing fields of flowers.
My boy took this picture!
