Girlfriends

I know, this is old news. In fact, I went on my ‘girlfriend’ weekend in the middle of April. But I am still trying to catch up…life is sooo crazy right now. This one will be short and sweet 🙂

We all met up in Ohio for a quick weekend retreat with… NO kids! It was so wonderful, so needed, especially on the heels of Chris being gone for several months.

We holed up in a tiny rental cottage that was perfect for late night blab sessions about, well, just about everything. We stayed up until 3AM, slept in, ate out wherever we wanted (no McDonald’s please) and shopped until we dropped. It was a perfect weekend 🙂

We have all been close since we lived in Middle-Of-Nowhere, Oklahoma. Yes, it IS a place. And our husbands were all stationed there. It might have had nothing more than a WalMart and (…well, it only had a WalMart) for entertainment, but it sure made for awesome friendships.

We’ve stayed as close as ever over the years and these weekend retreats are a wonderful reminder of why we are so close.

I love you guys!!

we don't celebrate gotcha day
there's no such thing as an easy adoption
if I can, you can.
