Really late at night we were all overtired and quite
a bit goofy, so we took this picture of ourselves. LOL!

Jon and Aaron were really, really happy to see me!

Poor Yoda, striving to reach what he cannot have.

This photo was taken Thanksgiving Day at Theresa's parents'
house. Here they are open an engagment gift!

On Friday I went to go see my good friend Pam.
Here's a photo of her two handsome devils: Josh and Jacob.

Josh has such a brilliant imagination.
We really had fun playing!

Jacob! He's already 7 months old in this photo!
How time flies!

Friday night, as is tradition, a bunch of my friends met
me at my FAVE restaurant... MaMa Mia's Pizza! Here is
someone's lasagne. I prefer the pizza, myself.

George and Dave ponder over the menus.

Here is Rob, Debbie and George (and Dave hiding behind the menu).
You can also see Jim in Tina in this shot! It was so great to
see them again since their move from Dallas back to WI.

Here's me, Debbie, and George catching up and posing for a photo.

Jacob, Zach, and Josh were angels! Even THEY love MaMa Mia's!

Kyle made a surprise visit, too! It was so good to see him;
it had been over a year since we last saw each other.

My friend Connie, who I worked with at Frontier made it out, as well!
I'm trying to convince her to come vacation down in Dallas! :-D

This is Me, Cindy, her husband, Jon, and two of her kids.
I was so honored they could drop by and say hi!

Jim and Tina smilin' for me. Thanks guys!
I love my friends, they are all such troopers!

Here's Aaron again (my bro's roomate) and his girlfriend, Velma.

Rob and I posing for the camera!

Tina and I.

Friday evening was first time I got to see Cretia, Dave and Zach
during my trip! I couldn't believe how great they all looked
and how BIG Zach is getting. But he'll always be my little angel.

After we all pigged out at MaMa Mia's, we went to see Jim and Tina's
new apartment. It was REALLY nice and big and they had it decorated
so nicely! They really have good taste! We spent the night here
playing games and catching up.

Friday night I went back with Cretia and Dave to their place so
I could spend more time with them and Zach. Here is Zach, very
willing to pose for my camera, and VERY good at saying "CHEESE!"

Bashful? I think not!

Here is a tower I built for Zach that was taller than he was!
I took a great picture of him hugging the tower, however it was
right then my camera decided it was time to run out of batteries,
so I lost the picture forever, cuz next thing you knew...
CRASH went the tower! heeeheee!

Saturday afternoon, Cretia, Dave, Zach and I all raced to the airport
to meet Heather and Kyle's flight so that I could see them before they
disappeared to Madison. We decided to stop at the Olive Garden on the
way home to catch up with things. YUM! Boy, I ate like a pig that week!

Here we all, still waiting for a table, so we're having some drinks
in the meantime.

Can you believe Heather and Kyle have already been married over a
year and a half! My, time flies. I miss them very much. But,
the good news is that they're doing GREAT!

Here's my Weather Heather right before we went to our table.

On Sunday I got to hang out with Debbie for a while before I had
to catch the bus down to the O'Hare Airport. I had a GREAT trip;
and as usual, made lots of new great memories! I'm already
looking forward to my next trip up to Wisconsin!
