Our New Friends!

Ever since I discovered the Babycenter.com site, I have been addicted to it! I am part of an amazing board called Confessions in the January '09 group! There is a woman named Kirsten who is in this group and she is moving to a nearby area to me, here in Pensacola! She has a baby girl who is 2 weeks younger than Carter, so he got to meet her and have his first play-date! Carter absolutely loves her...whenever he is fussing and she starts to cry, Carter gets instantly quiet and listens to her! It's absolutely adorable!!! They were in town this last weekend and we met for the first time! Kirsten is as adorable and sweet in person as she is online and her baby is beautiful! She invited me to her parent's home and we had a wonderful time! They live right on the ocean and I was able to see 2 Stingray's swimming under the dock in the backyard!!! And her father showed me the crabs they had caught in the crab traps! Both of which, I had never seen before. After we hung out for a while, her family invited me to go with them to Gallery Night downtown. It's an event that occurs one Friday a month and all the stores open their doors all along the streets and give out free or'dourves and drinks.
The next evening, she invited me over again to go fishing off the dock. We didn't catch anything, but had a few good bites. Her dad joined us and he caught 3 speckled Trout...he let us reel them in, so we partially caught them! ;)
I am so thrilled to have a friend here...an amazingly kind and fun friend!!! I feel so blessed!
I am hoping we can continue to get together, so we can grow as friends and Carter will have a friend to grow up with!
Seeing Kirsten and her baby with her family, makes me miss my family and home back in Michigan, but it's nice to be around them!
Carter and I look forward to many new fun experiences with our new friends! I can't wait for Josh to meet them too!
