I met Brandi my freshman year of college. She was one year ahead of me, but we both lived in the same suite in Cochrane Hall at Virginia Tech. We quickly learned that we were both from Maryland and that is where our friendship started. We had many fun times in college together and when we were both finished with school, we found that we were both in Northern Virginia working and living about 7 minutes away from each other. It was so nice to live so close to Brandi and her family.

Brandi has always been an inspiration to me. This girl has been through a lot, but she has a way of making it through to the other side, smarter, brighter, and smiling. She is beautiful, strong, independent, and intelligent, among many other things, and her daughter, Crystal, is just as wonderful! She is also very smart and intelligent and has such a big heart! She and Kate were fast friends! When you get the four of us together we are never short of laughs! It was no different this weekend!
We hung out, we went to the zoo, we had a picnic at the park, and we had a movie night! We had so much fun together and it was great to be able to get some one on one time with one of my best friends. Too often we are running around like crazy trying to fit each other in our schedules when we make a visit to Maryland. We usually end up with a few hours together but this was an entire weekend of uninterrupted Bran time!
We are so grateful that Brandi and Crystal made the trip out to visit and we are so looking forward to our next rendezvous!
