The Markarians come to town!


I love this girl! Our friendship started a long time ago when our oldest children were babies, and no matter the distance or the time in between visits, we always have a great time. I miss her all the time. She is getting ready to reunite with her hubby in Georgia soon and we are definitely going to miss them even more. But I'm so glad that there family will all be together again soon.

We always joke that everyone in the family has someone to pal around with. Even Bryan is good friends with Chris, Michelle's husband. Alyssa and Emery have been friends the longest. They were in preschool together and were the best of friends.

Alanna and Kelci have very different personalities, but they always seem to have a great time together. Alanna was such a little peanut when she was a little, I can't believe how grown-up she is now.

Aminah and Cambree have a few years separating them in age, but that never stops Cambree from trying to make a new friend. I use to just hold Aminah any chance I could when she was little, I remember having a miscarriage around the time Michelle was pregnant with her. It was hard, but I knew someday I would have another...until than we had a cute little dark-haired baby to adore.

And than after 3 girls each, Michelle and I welcomed little boys to the bunch, Brody and Liam. Theses two are just a couple of months apart. They are full of energy and super cute!

Than I broke the tie and had this guy! Haha
When Alanna saw Rex back in April, she was in love with him.

6 months later, she was still loving spending time with Rex. After they left he was exhausted and slept good all night....thanks Lanna!!




Friendships really can stand the test of time, lately I have been wondering a lot about this. I feel like it's hard to come across "real" friendships that really last and are sincere. I have always been someone who cherishes a friendship, I still think about the friends I had growing up often. They knew who I was, I never had to try and be anything else but myself and I miss that. It's not that I don't have good friends around me now, because I do. We are all just busy being mom's and wives, and anything else we decide to be, will see if those friendships can also stand the test of time. We love you Markarian family and wish you nothing but the best!

Hey when are you going to write a nice post like this for us??? :) Just kidding. That's neat that you have kids that fit so perfectly together. You really are a great friend to have. You and Bryan are the kind of people that will always be friends even when so many miles separate us. Plus some day we will have to see each other more when our kids are married so that will be nice. We can look forward to more time together then. Ha Ha You are awesome. :)
