HS Besties turn 40!

Heading off for our High School Bestie's 40th Birthday Party...

Ashleigh & Dan have been a HUGE part of our lives, and we are so grateful for them!

I met Ashleigh in 4th grade when I played on her Eliot softball team...we then reunited at Bishop Kelley in 9th grade. Before we knew it, we were double dating our future husbands. Then, the next transition came when Greg and Ash went to KU and Dan and I went to OU. By sophomore year, the Jayhawks joined the Sooners. :-) Soon after college, we were both married...and it's been HAPPILY EVER AFTER for both of us!!!

Here's to two of our most favorite people in the world! 

Happy Happy 40th!!!

Yum is all I can think of when looking at these pics...it was 5 courses of absolute deliciousness!!

*Sibling Soiree

It was time to head to our 1st Ever King Family *New Years Eve Bash*

(thanks to Ker for coming up with the rockin' idea!)

My older brother Kevin and his wife Amy opened up their home for our *Sibling Soiree

Favorite moment of the night: learning a dance my older sister Kim made up in college...can you guess the name of it?? :-)

*THE SCARECROW*

(had more fun with this than I care to admit)

Here's the Fab Five with their Fab Spouses...it's so cool that we are all finally at the same stage      (baby sister Kerri got married this past May)

We had a very exciting 2012 with Kerri's long awaited wedding, a couple's trip to Ireland, an unexpected house move, Owen starting Kindergarten, family Disneyworld trip, etc...but somehow I just know that 2013 is going to be even better! Jer 29:11 will continue to unveil itself in our lives...and we welcome God's awesome plan with open arms! 

Lucky Ladies

Friday night we were invited to join our besties from high school (Bishop Kelley) for a most special dinner celebrating their 15th Anniversary.

Dan and Ashleigh were blessed to be HS Sweethearts just like my Honey and I. We have more memories than this blog has room for...numerous Jr Phil dances, BK homecoming dances, two proms, Spring Break trips...the list goes on and on.

Ash & Greg then headed up to KU for college. Well...that didn't last long, by sophomore year, they both joined Dan and I at OU for the remainder of our college days. :-))

*Distance makes the heart grow fonder.*

 Having been with our loves for 22 years now is something we treasure.

So a Celebration was in order when their Wedding Bells rang 15 years...and a celebration it was! 

The chef from Southern Hills Country Club fed us one of the most scrumptious meals I have ever put in my mouth! I wish I had the culinary expertise to describe it...let's just say in my words: DELISH!

More than the food served, the laughs and fun were priceless. Looking back at yearbooks and wedding albums, recalling the Goodness that God has poured over our lives. Between our amazing husbands, 7 beautiful children, and full to the brim lives...we are are two very lucky ladies!!
