We had our first house guests in our new home yesterday/today! Our good friends, Abigail and Brett, stopped by on their trans-continental Army-induced adventure. Brett has been serving in Afghanistan, and he has only been back in the country for a week or so.

Brett is a friend from the good old days at TCU. Brett introduced us to his (then) fiance Abigail at a wedding several years ago, and Abigail and I became fast friends at a lingerie shower that weekend. It's amazing how quickly you bond with someone when looking at another woman's underwear. Abigail has the incredible ability to throw herself into social situations I would die just thinking about- for example, attending one of your husband's college friend's lingerie shower. She even travelled from Washington to Fort Worth for another of Brett's friends' wedding last year without Brett! She is one brave cookie, and she is an incredibly graceful person.

Rich and I had a lot of fun seeing them, catching up, and hearing about Brett and Abigail's upcoming adventures. You can read Abigail's blog (which she updates with incredible regularity) at http://abigailsday.blogspot.com/.
