I had my first ever get away by myself (since having children)!!
I'd been begging Mike to go visit Kari for some time now (and he's always said "go, go!", being the sweet husband that he is) but I'd just never pulled the trigger.
Now that she's pregnant with twins, I just had to go down to celebrate with her.
Kathy kindly watched my children and I headed down last Thursday.
There was a little change of plans in that Kari was put on bedrest the day before I arrived!
It was still just so fun to be together and to visit her in cajun country!
Kari and I have been friends for 14 years this summer!! As we "roomed together" at the hospital, we reminisced about the first night we were roommates at the start of the Bogart Summer Project... 1997, baby! And the concrete-ish hospital room reminded me of so many nights that summer in the Rusenkos basement (with windows open and fans blowing)! And so many cRaZy adventures since then... I couldn't resist the urge to dig up some old pictures and scan them...

I'll stop there... ;)

We tried to liven up Kari's room a little with some paper lanterns...
On Sunday, we got dressed up for church and Hal skyped us in!
And an "out of bed" pic before I left!
I treasure this girl's friendship!! Love you, Kari!
...we are praying for those babies to grow strong and healthy! And I'm looking forward to a winter visit with MK after the sweet babies arrive!!
