On Bromances and Romances

This is Brooke:

This is her husband, Old Man Dietel:

Brooke and I share the most important day of the year - our birthday.  We share identical matching heart pendant necklaces that both of our boyfriends (at the time) purchased since we are both ruby birthstones.  

We also share our husbands.  If our husbands are not at work or on the phone with us, they are on the phone with each other.  

Shall we call it a bromance?  Sure.

I met Brooke shortly after I started dating Jason.  She had her eyes set on Dietel and quickly moved in to seal the deal.  Our husbands are lucky Brooke and I get along smashingly.

While in Texas last week, we scheduled an outing with the Dietels and their two adorable daughters Maggie and Clare.  We were supposed to be convening at the local park.  But who needs a park when there is a dangerously high and large rock cliff to climb!!!

Jason and Old Man Dietel ran interference between the jagged rocks and the small balance-challenged children.

Maggie: Hey Elena!!  Here's yur sign!

Maggie: What the hell?!?!

We then took the children on a walk through the town of Fredericksburg.  While Brooke and I relaxed, we put the men to work.

We seriously don't even try to interrupt Jason and Dietel while they are lost in philosophical debates.

And, while Brooke outlined her wedding plans, we snapped photos of the betrothed couple and the sister-in-law

But Maggie might have a little competition
