For quite a while after I moved to the northeast, I didn’t have any close friends. I had people to hang out with and do stuff together occasionally but no one to do day-to-day things with. Then during Nate’s first full year of preschool (can you believe that’s been uh *using my fingers to calculate cuz that’s how I roll*…4 years), I met Jenn. She was the para in Nate’s preschool class and at the end of that first year, she said she’d found another job and was leaving. I was so bummed since Nate just loved her! In talking to her, I found out she was going to be working at a daycare here in town and I’d asked about it since at the time, I was looking for someplace for the girls to get some interaction with other kids. When I explained that to Jenn, she suggested that we get together sometime since she had a daughter about the girls age. We got together that summer and just hit it off! And over the last several months, we’ve been pretty much inseparable! During the school year when she’s working, she comes over 4 days a week after work and we work out for at least an hour. And our families have been hanging out on the weekends. Now that it’s summer and she’s done with work, she’s been coming over sometimes twice a day to work out and then hang out. I love it!! She’s so much fun and we get along so well, as do our families. So the weather has been scorching hot here in NH this past week. Mid to upper 90s for like 5 or 6 days in a row…a couple of days over 100. So we’ve been to a couple of different beaches and they came over one day so the kids could play on the slip n slide.
I’ve tried to take pics every time we get together at the beach because I want the kids to look back and remember these fun summer days with great friends!! So here’s several pics taken over the last week with our trips to the beach and the slip n slide fun!! Tomorrow we’re all headed to the local fair where I’ll be sure to take tons of photos!!

Love the kids under the tent..so cute.
Friendship is funny. I have had a weird year for friendships this year, and its been tough. I love it that you found a new friend, nothing like good friends in our lives!
