Our weekend trip to San Antonio

Last weekend we went to San Antonio for a little getaway. We were not able to take a vacation this summer due to Jared switching job's last month! So we decided to go see our close friend's, the Damiano's in San Antonio. Jared met my good friend Angela in California when he was in language school in the military! She was in the Navy and they took a class together and realized that we were getting married the same day as her and her hubby. Since then we have become very close friends, we all got stationed together in San Angelo, then were neighbors in San Antonio for 4 years. We have gotten to share so many big things together, it's kinda scary when we think about how similar our lives have been. So I already mentioned we both got married on August 29, 1998. We were pregnant with our first babies at the same time and our due dates were actually only 4 days apart, (but of course as you all know, the girls decide to make there appearance 3 months early) so her son Josiah and the girls are the same age! Then we bought our first house's the same month, had our 2nd babies, (well really my 3rd) within 6 months of each other, and then I had Jack 3 weeks after she had her baby Jonah! So it has been fun to share these things with them. After we all got out of the military they stayed there and her husband works for the San Antonio Fire Department as a Fireman and also a Paramedic. He is obviously a special guy since as you all know, it takes a special person to have that occupation! Angela is a stay at home mommy like me, and we talk alot on the phone and try to see each other once or twice a year. We mainly just hung out with them at there house and didn't do a whole lot due to the HEAT and the excessive amount of children we have combined! : ) We did manage to go to our favorite mexican food place while we were there, La Fogatta! It was yummy! So we had a good time! Can't wait to go back!
