Shocking, right? That I could possibly have a life outside of taking care of my adorable little Finn? While it doesn't always feel that way, the truth is, I have made some amazing friends here in DC (and beyond). And yes, we have managed to have lots of fun (outside of our kids)! My friend Summer always says that as moms to young kids, we are living our lives in parallel. Always doing the same things with our kids. . . park, playground, activities, lunch, naps, etc. etc., but following our own little schedule. It is so nice to have met some great friends to "cross" paths with. I first met Summer because she is my neighbor. Then I met Kelly at the gym. Kelly knew Elizabeth and before we knew it we had a fabulous group of 4! This group has grown to include even more! I can't say enough about these wonderful ladies. Initially, we all lived within walking distance to each other's houses and we often had impromptu playdates and girl's nights out. We even attempted craft nights and started a book club. Occasionally, we let the boys join in the fun, but mainly, we just enjoyed hanging out and talking (with lots of wine and cupcakes thrown in the mix). It was such a joy to get to know each of these women and I will truly miss each and every one of them.
