I don’t have real sisters, but Hudson definitely has two aunts that are crazy about him even though they haven’t met him yet. His Aunt Jennifer and Aunt Catherine are coming in from Dallas this weekend to meet him!
L to R: Malain, Jennifer, Catherine, and me
Catherine and Jennifer (and our other friend, Malain– with the dark hair, who is all the way over in San Diego) don’t have any sisters and we all have brothers. We were in the same pledge class in Alpha Chi Omega our freshman year.Jennifer and I lived together in college and Catherine moved out to South Carolina a year after I moved here and we lived together out here. These two girls are my heart and soul and I’m so excited to have them here. I’m not even doing anything to prepare the house because I know they don’t care.
I originally told them to just pack sweats and PJs because we’ll just hang around the house, but we’ve decided to let Todd play “babysitter” one night so we can go to dinner. I have that same feeling that I have when I know my mom is coming to visit– complete comfort. These are my soul sisters and I know they’re excited to see Hudson, but they’re also excited to just sit and catch up while watching endless episodes of Sex and the City.
An exciting and relaxing weekend is surely ahead and I’m looking forward to just spending time with my best friends. Funny enough, Todd is heading to Dallas for work on Sunday night, so I’m really excited that they’ll be here with me while he travels to their city.
Todd and I are going on a real date tonight! Old-fashioned dinner and a movie. We’re having dinner at Garibaldi’s (which is actually Garibaldi Cafe and I’ve broken my own rule of making something possessive and changing the name of a restaurant!) then going to see Inglourious Basterds– even though I want to see Taking Woodstock. Lots of thanks to his parents for keeping Hudson tonight!
Weight Watchers Wednesday is coming back tomorrow in addition to a new feature called Mom-Style Monday where I show you the most comfortable options for me to wear around the house and still look presentable while running errands with a baby in tow. Have a great weekend!
Erin ~ Have a fabulous weekend with your “sisters!” I am an Alpha Chi, too! ~ Ali
Best friends that you don’t even have to get the house ready for are the best kind of friends! So glad you get to spend time with them!
YAY! I’m so excited for you to see your besties & for Hudson to meet his Aunts!!!!! What great memories – can’t wait for the weekend recap!!! Big hugs.
Sounds like you’re in for a great weekend! My kind of weekend… 🙂
Sounds like an awesome weekend, have fun!
Mmmmm. I am from Charleston, so I have been to the Garabaldi’s there. Love the crispy flounder. Have fun!
Sounds like you have the perfect weekend lined up!! Have lots of fun! Be sure to take plenty of pics of Hudson and his “aunts.”
I’m excited for Mom Style Monday! I don’t have any kids … but I hope it can translate to Med Student Monday clothing ideas! I’m sort of bored of wearing scrubs … EVERYDAY!
You’re going to have so much fun! Friends who can sit around in PJ’s with you for an hour are the best 🙂 Have a blast with them, AND on your date with your hubby tonight!
Also…I’m excited for return to WWW! I’m thinking about starting WW, never done it, but I’m seriously considering it.
Have a fabulous weekend 🙂
there is nothing better than visiting with long lost girlfriends. it warms my heart every single time. some of our best friends (a couple, the guy is nate’s best bud and the girl is mine) are coming up to visit us over Labor Day and I cannot wait! Have so much fun with your sisters.
I’M YOUR SISTER TOO! I am an Alpha Chi alum from Colorado! The Nu Chapter! How exciting to have a fellow blogger friend also be a sorority sister of mine! This just made my day! I hope you have a lovely weekend with your friends and “sisters”! XO!
There’s nothing better than just hanging out with people who know you better than you know yourself. Have so much fun!

I’m so excited that you are having them come in…it makes me miss all of our fun Alpha Chi days! Tell them that I said hello! Ya’ll have fun and take tons of pics! Oh, and it’s fun to see other Alpha Chis on here too!
I am looking forward to WWW making a return, and I can’t wait for the new post that you mentioned above as well. Isn’t it wonderful to have girlfriend’s that you can be just as comfortable around as your mom or real sister?! I love it!! I know you will have a wonderful time with them!!

Can’t wait for WW Wednesday and Mom Style Monday! That’s going to be great, and it’ll help me to return to my fit self and find things to wear after the birth of baby Weston! 🙂
Awww, I’m jealous! I miss my gal pals so much. I have a couple girlfriends here, but nothing compares to my very very best friends that I’ve known forever! We always say we’re sisters, too!
I have to add –– have a fabulous weekend! Sounds like you will! 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I have a group of friends like that too that I call my soul sisters. I’m an only child and they are the closest thing to having a sibling.
I’m eager to read what you think of the movie. My co-worker saw it and didn’t like it at all. I guess if it’s bad you’ll always have Brad to look at:)
Enjoy your girly time!
