BBQ at Parry's

Earlier this month, the girls were all able to get together for our 2nd annual summer picnic at Jamie's. We always have such a great time together. I love hanging out with these gals because I can totally be myself around them. We talk about anything and everything under the sun and laugh so hard. Thanks to the guys for watching the kids while we all talked. We have been friends since high school (some of us since elementary). I feel lucky to have them in my life!

Shelley, Jamie, Cheri, Ju, me and Melis

Here's a snapshot we took last year. These little munchkins sure grow up fast! Top: Payton Parry, Jordyn Parry, Kaden Eichelberger, Kenyon Parry, Carver Timothy, Makenna Timothy, Aspen McCarthy, Bentley, Tyler Eichelberger and Zion Hendrick's.

Then here is this year (except we are missing a bunch of kiddos), but we have some new faces. Left to right: Bentley, Kayla Loveland, Payton Parry, Jesse Oman, Jordyn Parry, Gabby Oman, and Makenna Timothy.
Thanks so much, Jamie for having us all over. It was a great party and you have the perfect backyard for the kids to run around. The food was great and getting together with everyone was awesome.

Stephanie, I am Carrie's sister, -she said you would know who I am if I commented. I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience of donating your kidney. Carrie sent me your address (I hope you don't mind), about the time I began testing to donate my kidney to our cousin. I was truly inspired reading your experience and I'm grateful for your amazing example.

My surgery was in Colorado -so I had a question for you, knowing your experience might have been different here . . . I wondered what your Dr.'s said was a good waiting time before getting pregnant. Thanks in advance I hope it is alright that I ask.

Hi Amy,
Thank you so much for contacting me. I asked Carrie how everything went and was curious as to how you were feeling. Yay to organ donors!! I can't wait to read up on how you are. I will go ahead and send you an email. Carrie and I (along with our company) are at convention, so I will tell her I "met-ish" you through the blogging world! I am glad to have someone to share the experience with! Talk soon! Steph

That is so fun that you all get together like that. Even after 10 years. Wow. Has it really been that long?

Steph,

I stumbled onto your blog link on the reunion site and really felt like a stalker for visiting--until I saw I wasn't the only one!

I had to say "hi" real quick. Your daughter doesn't look anything like you does she. Jeez. Adorable!

Best wishes,

Bradley
