Friends...

Brian and Joe have been friends since college.  They were roommates for two years in college.  After college, Brian had moved back to Oregon, but they remained close.  Joe asked Brian to be his best man in his wedding and a year later Brian asked Joe to be his best man.  I can count on one hand the amount of times that I have seen my husband get choked up...one of those times was when he was speaking about Joe at our rehearsal dinner before the wedding.  
Joe and Alisha moved to Menifee a little while ago....we kinda lost touch with them.  Around April last year, Brian called Joe to tell him that we were pregnant--only to find out that they were pregnant too!  Alisha was 4 weeks pregnant behind me!  What a small world!  It's funny because Brian and Joe are exactly one month apart in their birthdays and now our two little kids are a month apart too!  Emily was born November 10th and Oliver was born December 8th.  We have really had a lot of fun hanging out with them---as two families!  Weird.

It's great that you all can be close and maintain that friendship. I hope it will continue for decades to come!

Love the picture of the kids! Lots of promise in those two beautiful faces!

That is so neat. We have found that going through the same seasons in life with old friends only deepens the friendship. Although you don't have as much TIME on your hands to keep in touch, when you do, it is even more meaningful! I'm happy for Joe and Alicia and Oliver.
