God sovereignly placed Gina, Kristen, Souhaila and I at the University of Southern Mississippi at the same time and grew our friendships in a special way. We are blessed to be lifelong friends who all meet together once a year as we all live in different states now. This is the first year the husbands did not attend due to scheduling. Hopefully, they will all be able to join us in the future. For our 5th annual reunion this year, we met in Slidell, LA where Gina's parents live. Her parents were wonderful as they showed extraordinary hospitality, which included babysitting by them and her sister, Ginger, as this is the first year we had babies attend. Gina had Sable on March 10, 2007 and Souhaila had Eli on March 26, 2007. Baby Rockette has some precious friends anxiously awaiting her arrival. Eli was already flirting with her as he rubbed my belly when I held him. :) We had a great weekend visiting, eating (Mrs. Bobby is a great cook!), laughing, working out, playing with Sable and Eli, worshipping together, praying together, sharing testimonies of God's work in our lives, enjoying jazz brunch in New Orleans, shopping in New Orleans, doing our annual gift exchange, etc... We had such a great time together again that it was hard to leave...so we stayed up til 3 am the last night. :) Notice the last pic...Gina's dad, Mr. Gibbs, cut holes (after Gina's permission) in the feet of Sable's sleeper as he said it was too small and she couldn't stretch out enough - hilarious!!!
