Eliza, Math Wiz.... and Why I'm Left Out

Yesterday I asked Eliza if she remembered my friend, Sister Derby. I reminded her that we went to her house once and spent the night downstairs. There were lots of kids there and they played outside in the pool. Sister Derby has three little girls. Eliza confirmed that she remembered them. I told Eliza, "Well, Sister Derby is pregnant with twins!" Eliza responded, "So then they will have five!"

Yep, Eliza solved a math word problem!

Speaking of Katie....

I have been friends with the same group of girlfriends since I was 13 years old. We have all moved around all over the USA but we are all now back in Virginia. I love my girlfriends, Katie, Alisha, and Jenny and I feel lucky that we have been able to keep in touch throughout the years.

Alisha has 3 year old twins, a boy and a girl. Jenny has 1 year old twins, also a boy and a girl. Katie just announced that she is expecting twins! WHAT ARE THE ODDS? I know we aren't the only people in the world or anything... but seriously... Four girlfriends and Three sets of twins!

I love twins! Who doesn't? I always wanted twins... until I had a baby. Then I decided I would like to have my babies one at a time, for two reasons. First, I hold my babies A LOT... if I had two at once, I don't know how I'd manage that. I know that twins would be so much more work. Secondly, I love babies so I figure if I have my babies one at a time I can have a baby in the home for slightly more of my life.

But there is the less practical side of me that forgets about the work and thinks that having twins would be adorably awesome! So, I think I'm feeling a little left out here.... Congratulations to Alisha, Jenny, and Katie on your amazing twins!

Alisha, Jenny, Me, Katie
on Alisha's Wedding Day



The summer after graduating from High School, Katie, Jenny and I took a little road trip. We went to The Hill Cumorah Pagent in New York, and then to Canada to see Niagra Falls. I believe this photo was taken in Niagra Falls somewhere. :0)
Katie and Jenny were driving to Utah to go to BYU. I came along to help them drive. We ran into some car topper problems along the way with the KT KWIK Coffin Car.
Alisha and Me
Me and Katie. We were at the airport... getting ready to fly out to Utah for Alisha's wedding.

GOOD TIMES!!

Thanks for the post and the memories. If I were you I wouldn't feel left out, I would feel SCARED! You're next!! BTW, I think that we were flying out together to Alisha's wedding.

Is there something in that Fredericksburg water? I can't believe it! (It's really because you are all such awesome women :) )

I think the twin stories are pretty remarkable. Seriously what are the odds of three of your closest gals having them?

What year did you graduate? I did the exact same road trip the July after I graduated in 1997. That was the funnest time! We had a fun group!

Reading these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is an integral part of our lives in this day and age, and I am 99% certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.

I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about all the time.
