After a sad goodbye in Austin, we made our way north to Temple Texas, where we found this sign waiting for us on the front door of one of my very favorite families.
We made it to Becca's house! Oh what fun we had. Becca was determined to win my children over with oreos upon arrival and hidden pirate treasure in the morning.
Fighting off pirates with water balloons at 9AM in March? Who could ask for more fun?
Becca spent the rest of the week spoiling us rotten with park playdates, delicious food, and fun. The kids had a blast! Seriously they wanted to stay for another week, and I didn't blame them.
Becca spoiled me every night with pedicures, manicures, yummy treats, vinyl for my water bottles, and lots and lots and LOTS of girl talk. It was fantastic!
I fully admit that when it was time to go I cried. Whenever I am around Becca I am a better mom, a better friend... pretty much a better person in general. No wonder my kids didn't want to leave! Becca is one of those amazing people that just brings out the best in everyone she meets. I love that I can laugh with her until I'm crying, and then turn around and have a deep spiritual discussion all within the same day. What I would give to have this lady as my next door neighbor... or at least in the same state! Here's to hoping that they finish residency and come back to Iowa. A girl can dream, right?

I understand about the friend thing. I've been so lucky all my life to have had good friends.
