The Peipert Family: Old Friends, New Times

I love how when you get back together with old friends, it seems like no time has passed. You can always pick up where you left off whether it has been days, weeks, or months since you'd last seen them.

It has been seven years since we graduated from high school. Justin had a close group of friends from years before that over the last seven years we've been able to see less and less due to different locations, different jobs, and different lifestyles (marriage and babies!!!). Now, our friends are spread out from Malibu, California to Lawrence, Kansas and down to Austin, Texas. Luckily, we do have some close by that we enjoy seeing and are so happy to have the luxury of seeing more often, but everyone being together at the same time is a rare occurrence.

We have been lucky to have a few weddings to get together at, but we decided that we can't let weddings be the only times that we all see each other. Plus, we get so busy at weddings with rehearsals, luncheons, etc. So, this past weekend we planned for everyone to get together. It was SO nice to see everyone and have everyone together for a weekend. It really felt like we had been able to get together like this on a regular basis. We were even lucky enough to have two of our best friends stay at our house! We had SUCH a great time and hope to have a get-together like this more often.

In our short weekend, we were able to go out to dinner to celebrate Jessie's birthday, see Adam & Emily in Southlake, go out on the boat with Gordon, Laine, Shep, and Jessie, and then have everyone over to our house to grill out the yummy sausage that Spencer picked up on the way down. We even made it to the old snow cone stand (Barbie is where it's at...)!

I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I had hoped (what's new...) but I did get a few fun ones from our Saturday boating experience.
