Thursday night I got to spend the evening with some of my favorite ladies in the world! We do a good job keeping in touch with texts and phone calls, but nothing compares to 5 hours of face time. Outside there was a snowstorm but inside the restaurant we broke out a sweat laughing! I mean laughing so hard it was the ugly kind of laugh where you can't breath, tear up, and loose control of your facial expressions. Nothing beats a good laugh with the best of friends. I am sure we looked crazy! We talked about serious stuff like the insane Chicago Suburb real estate market, how we don't want or kids to turn out spoiled brats, and that following all of Dr. Oz's advice would be a full time job. Obviously I would love to live closer so I could see the girls all the time, but I love our quarterly dinners:) So thankful for my Hope girls! It's hard to imagine 10.5 years ago is when it all started!

Jack was back in the winter wonderland burbs with Mimi, Papa, Bobo, and Lala. I got pics throughout the night of him at Golf Nation watching Ben "hit" and then enjoying some burgers. Jack is awesome at dinner when there is a crowd! Plus, he has been talking about visiting everyone since we left Florida so Jack was one happy boy to be reunited. It is fabulous getting to spend a kid free night knowing your little one is being smothered with love by your free babysitters!

In the morning Mike had meetings and I had the chance to "relax". All I could think about as I took a bath watching the Today Show on the bathroom mirror TV, is how Jack would get a kick out of watching Mickey Mouse Club House and playing in the suds! I was a little bored without my buddy. I am pathetic. Or just a full blown Mom now. What in the world will I do for 3 days in Arizona...?
