reuinted after ten years

we were neighbors in tennessee and decided to reunite since we are neighboring states now!

hannah and i. yes, i'm on my tip-toes. don't know how the younger sister's (hannah & laurisa) out-grew us!

we went to cheesecake with j. boy it was good. i had my first cheesecake that i can remember (sister claims i've had one) it was cookie dough and it was heavenly! i love sitting outside at restaurants!

we grabbed sushi at the mall, before my shift. so yum:)

they entertained themselves while i worked. cutest masks!

we went on a stroll around the neighborhood. oh how mighty fine my man is :)

j captured this on the first try, pretty impressive! .. yes, it looks like i have a gnarly beard..but i don't! 

pretty much every night we stayed up til 2-4 am crafting, laughing and bringing up memories! my kind of girl time! (the craft room is by our bedroom, so while j was sleeping, we brought the sewing machine downstairs.. who knew you could sew on a bed?

the 3 am giggles! they now know how crazy silly i get in the middle of the night!

an up close of our necklaces we made . they are for sale here 

we went to lake erie after church. had quite the photoshoot:)

all of our matching necklaces !

toes in the sand, my favorite.

cutest girls!

here we are so long ago. yes, mitch and hannah got married.. i was such a lovely preacher.. don't you think? haha. it was so much fun seeing them, they are the same in most ways :)

hannah is doing the cosmetology route also, she painted my toesies. love them!

this is our hair chain we made.. 

our last craft..we made vests, by stenciling our favorite animal !

love how they turned out!

when i got home from work, they had cleaned the house and left me goodies. so stinking adorable.
