Carly & Evan +1!!!

Holy crap. Last night I commented on life being messy and really despising adulthood. And then God sure did slap me in the face with a check of reality on how GREAT it is to be an adult. The pic above is of my best friends from high school. It's amazing really just how close we still are- these girls will always be there for me. This pic is from a few years ago, but now that we're old and have other obligations (like jobs- yuck, and living in different states- even bigger yuck) it's tough for all of us to get together. Usually it's over the holidays (note the beautiful garland of the Hart household in the above pic) with just a short brunch to catch up... but this year we are taking it to a new level with a whole weekend in Cincinnati in August. I get giddy just thinking about it. So, now onto the news.

Carly is on the left in the pic above in the white sweater, sitting just to my right. She married Evan Chu in May 2007, and I was so proud to be one of her bridesmaids! Here's a little glimpse back... the first of Carly & Evan at Jenni's wedding in May '08, and the 2nd pic is of the ladies dancing at their wedding!

Well last night Carly sent out an email about the upcoming trip to Cincy to see her and the highly anticipated reunion. She also slipped something in at the end... she's pregnant!! I just finally got used to the idea of bridal showers, but a baby shower?! For a girl my age??? I mean I'm 26, it's not the craziest thing ever, but I guess I'm still in shock. This will be "our first baby" and holy cow will baby Chu get spoiled! They will make the most perfect parents, and I can't wait to be an auntie!

CONGRATS CARLY & EVAN!!!
