I met Cindy soon after moving to Augusta in 4th grade. Even though we were in different homerooms, we became fast friends despite our differences: The first time Cindy came to my house for a sleepover, she spent most of the time reading books.....I had my doubts then that our friendship would survive. Plus she could sleep in til 1pm while I would be wide awake by no later than 10am, so awkwardness was more than expected.
Despite these early bumps in the road, Cindy and I remained friends and I love that I can still call her a friend today.
Here we are with our friend Steve at Christmas one year in college making cookies:
I was in her wedding shortly after graduating college:
and now we only see each other about once a year if we're lucky.
So when she told us she was pregnant about 2 years ago, I was so excited -- couldn't wait to see Cindy pregnant and as a mom.
So we threw her a baby shower:
what's that? She doesn't look pregnant? I know, right? And she was over 7 months at this point....(by the way Chandler is the other part of our threesome pictured here and above)Cindy's baby Molly was born last June and I didn't meet her until I was home this weekend. Molly is so great and she warmed up to me pretty quickly, which Cindy said was a rare thing. I think Molly is pretty smart, though, so I can understand why she'd want to hang out with me.
Meet Miss Molly:
She wasn't so sure about the picture taking until I showed her the image of herself right after, then she struck a model pose:
And tried to play coy with the camera when I asked her to take a picture with me:
But we had a great time and it was great to catch up with Cindy -- who is expecting baby Bramhall number 2!
Can't wait to see how Molly continues to grow up! So glad I got to meet her this weekend.
