Remebering Toledo

Five years ago Josh, Hannah and I were gearing up to head to Toledo, Ohio! What who wants to go there is what I thought. Little did I know it would be the best season I ever had while Josh has been playing. The girls on that team were awesome. The fans were awesome. Rent was cheap. Hannah was only 18 months old and sweet as can be. I met my best girlfriends there too.

First I will start with Beckie. I get to the game and met her. "Hi I am Beckie" is what she said. I loved her from the beginning. She is beautiful, smart, and lots and lots of fun. I always love the fact that she is not afraid to speak her mind even while walking down the street talking to a stranger. When you talk to her you never know what to expect in your conversation. Beckie, thanks for being a great friend.

Next came Joanie! WOW Josh and Ryan, her husband were on the same team in Cleveland, but Joanie and I never met. The wives forgot to tell her about my baby shower and she was mad and did not like me. Imagine that, Joanie not liking someone. LOL Well I met her in Toledo and loved her. Well not exactly from the beginning but after awhile she kind of grows on you. I love the fact that she is loyal! She will have your back anywhere. She is also beautiful, smart, and funny. Thanks Joanie Bologna for being such a great friend.

Next come Jenny Lew! I met her with Joanie. She is super tall, over 6 foot. She is like the mama of the bunch. She always keeps us grounded when we are all trying our hardest to get out of control. She is beautiful, smart and fun when we can get her to let loose! I love the fact that she tells it like it is and does not have a problem talking about personal stuff! Thanks Jenny for being such a great friend.

What is so strange to me is that 4 girls from different parts of the country that have completely different personalities mix so well. We have so much fun when we are together and we balance each other out perfect I think. I could not have asked for better friends.

When we first met Hannah was the only baby. Now all of us are Mamas. Jenny has Cade and he is 3. Beckie has Luke and he is 1. Joanie had Stetsen and he is also 1. The other day I met up with Jenny and Beckie and Jenny said " Remember when we just had Hannah" Hannah was mothered by all of us that year in Toledo. I will never forget that year and it is because of my girls! I love all of you. Here is a picture of my 2 and Cade. Luke was taking a nap.

AAAHHHHH!!!!! My Toledo Girls!!! It was such a fun year, one I will never forget. We were beyond lucky to have each other that year! You, Beckie and Joanie are three of the sweetest, honest, and loyal friends I have, not to mention the common ground of baseball we share. I wish we could go back, but since that is impossible I am thankful for our wild and crazy trips together during the off season! ***hugs and kisses***
