Amanda and I go WAY back. I mean, like back to Hawaii. We first met in Hawaii when our ex's were deployed at the same time. We hung out almost every day! We'd have sleepovers and act like tourists, driving around the island. But as military life, I ended up moving to Virginia in 2009, and that was the last time I saw her. We kept in touch on Facebook, even after she returned to the East Coast and moved back to Maryland. But it wasn't until recently when she and her family moved to Virginia that we decided to actually meet up again. When she first moved to Virginia, they were living in Newport News. Still close, but a drive over the HRBT that I hated driving on. While her hubby was deployed, they bought and moved into a cute house in Suffolk.
One Sunday afternoon, I headed up to Suffolk. The drive was so beautiful! Definitely made me think about moving up there.... But then I remembered how the traffic sucked going to base. The further away I move from Norfolk, the worse it will be! Maybe one day. Soon. I arrived at their house and immediately hugged Amanda as she greeted me on their front porch. I mean, it has been SIX years since I last saw her!! We hung out and chit chatted, reminiscing about the fun times we had when lived in Hawaii, to the craziness we both went through when we moved from Hawaii.
Previously, I told Amanda that I wanted to do a lifestyle session with them. How could you not want to take some photos of their little cutie?!?! Thank you guys for allowing to spend the afternoon with you! And Amanda, like I said, let's not let 6 years go by again!
