Over six years ago (maybe seven) I was living in Manhattan. I was an elementary ed major and thus worked at Northview Elementary as a lunchroom/recess supervisor and a staff member of the after-school program there. I met some great friends through that job, one being my friend Kara. Kara and I have had many fun shared memories with one another. We've laughed together. We've cried together. We've worked out together. We've drank (a lot) together. College simply would not have been the same without here.
Around this time (6 years ago), I invited Kara over to a BBQ at "The Boys' House" (otherwise known as James' friends). I had enjoyed spending time with James' friends....they were all fun guys. However, I thought that particular night would be more fun with some estrogen. So Kara came along with me. She met Ben that night. The two of them hit it off immediately and quickly made plans to get together the next night...and the next night...and the next night.
In December of 2008, shortly after James and I announced our engagement, we had the honor of attending Ben and Kara's wedding in South Carolina where they both now live. It was a beautiful occasion and it was kind of fun to think that we were the ones who introduced them.
Today marks a very special day for both Ben and Kara. Today they became parents to a beautiful baby boy, Jackson Paul. Jackson is 9 lbs 5 oz and 20 inches long. Big boy! I wish SO badly that I could be there!
Happy Birthday, Jackson! I can't wait to meet you!
