What could end a year better than a surprise visit from some of our favorite people?
In case you don't know them, this is Tony & Kirsten Zeikle and their kiddos, Caleb & Ally.
The Zeikles were instrumental in getting Greg and I together, since Tony was Greg's buddy in college and Kirsten was mine. The first time Greg and I ever spent time together was in participating in their wedding, and two years later, they were bridesmaid and groomsmen in ours (yes folks, it took two years, please send your sympathy comments care of Niki and your chastisements to Greg. Just kidding).
Anyway, now they live in Kansas City, which is way, way, way too far away from us.
They made our day on Friday by calling us up and announcing they were in town visiting family and would have several hours if we were free. What a great time we had catching up! Their kids are a joy to be around, just like their parents! The only down side was that even several hours is not enough time for friends like these, and before you know it, they were gone!
So Tony & Kirsten- thanks for the visit, and may we remind you again that Dallas is a wonderful city?

WHAT A FUN SUPRISE! Kirsten looks AMAZING!
And may we remind you again that Kansas City is also a wonderful city (or at least has some wonderful friends...)?
By the way, we noticed that you "spent time together" participating in our wedding. How careful you were not to call it what it actually was...a date!
wow, i know them! yeah, i want to see them...
wait i thought i was a bridesmaid that was instrumental in getting you two together
i was "friends" with both of you too ;)
Wow, Niki, what a lot of catching up I had to do on your blog! You've been busy!! And how totally amazing that you got to see Tony and Kirsten. What a cute family they have! Beautiful. I have your family pic on my fridge. Thank you!
And YAY!!!!!! Thanks so much for leaving a comment on "In Praise of Husbands" and adding the link to your blogroll! I'm honored!
And I, for one, can say I recall having nothing whatsoever to do with you and Greg getting together. But I'm glad you did. :-)
Hugs,
Becky
