Iowa Fun!

This weekend I went and visited my friend Kate in Iowa.  We had such a great time playing with her daughter, Charlotte, and catching up.  Kate lives in Bedford Iowa with her husband Sean.  I got to Kate and Sean's house Friday evening and enjoyed some great dinner and wine.  We spent most of the night sharing what was new with each of us.  We also skyped with our friend Mandy in DC.  I just love catching up with the girls.  We have to do this more often. 

Saturday, Kate, Charlotte and I went back to our old stomping grounds in Maryville.  We met Brooke and her son Dixon at A&Gs.  I have not been to Maryville in forever.  It was so wonderful to see the town, and just soak in Bearcat country.  We couldn't leave town without getting some new Bearcat apparel.  So we stopped by the Jock's Nitch and grabbed some goodies.  There was a figurine of Bobby the Bearcat so we grabbed a snapshot.

Later that afternoon, Kate, Charlotte, and I got back in the car and went to see Kate's sister Sarah.  She and her husband Zach are building a new house in Diagonal, Iowa which is about 20 minutes from Bedford.  Her sister has only 2 more weeks and she will officially move in.  Her house was absolutely gorgeous.  It is nestled in the country with trees and pasture all around.  She has simply serene views from all of her windows in her house.  I think she and Zach are truly going to enjoy spending the rest of their lives in Diagonal raising Jackson and any future kiddos. 

Sarah decided to come back to Kate and Sean's to enjoy a fun girls' night after we left her house.  Sean bbq'd some steaks and asparagus, while the girls munched on some snacks and drank some beer and wine.  He was definitely pampering his girls.  Kate, Sarah and I pretty much drank away the night just enjoying good company and sharing all of our fun adventures.

It is always so great to catch up with friends.  I can't wait to get together again.  This weekend has been a great girl's weekend.
