I'm getting so excited to fly to Houston next week for the first annual McDiffett Girls Reunion. This year- it will be Dana, me, Megan, Natalie, and Caitlin attending. Bethany didn't make the 21-or-older cut. We'll be staying in Dana and Tom's new house in the historic district. And she has a full itinerary in place for us including restaurant reservations, bar-hopping hot spots, wedding dress shopping for Meg, and of course- the New Kids On The Block concert. What could be better?
Despite getting to see eachother the last could of years due to weddings, we wanted to try to start something that will force us to get to see eachother on a regular basis. My sisters have become my best friends in the world. Growing up, there were always rivalries, cliches and drastic differences in interests. This was mostly due to some of the age gaps. But as we have grown up, finished college, are of legal drinking age, and have been either engaged or married, there is something that has changed. We have all realized in some way that we are incrediably grateful to have grown up in our bustling family. It's a realization that we will always be a part of one huge connected circle. It's the laughter level, new babies, Christmas dinners and the night before wedding days. It's the back-yard wiffle ball games, the sledding trips, and the movie nights. It's oh so comforting. It's oh so fun! Can't wait to see you all in a few short days!
Growing up. It happens to all of us one way or another. See for yourself. New Kids on the Block then, and now.
