My weekend away.

It started on Friday May 11, when I headed out to Mont Tremblant (alone – meaning no husband or baby) to meet up with some of my girlfriends.  6 of them, in fact (sadly, a few girls were absent, but very missed).  These are girls I went to high school with and have known for over 21 years.  We were regrouping to head up north for Monica’s bachelorette celebration. 

After a few hours of sitting around catching up and drinking colourful concoctions (à la Sarah), someone pointed out how unique this situation was.  Not everyone can boast of being so tight with friends from high school (and elementary school) to the point where they leave town at least once a year to spend multiple days together without the distractions of everyday life.  We certainly are lucky to still have each other and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.

The shenanigans ensued:

We had a blast.  And after a year of avoiding alcohol, the day after proved to be a bit of a challenge.  I again found myself making promises that if I made it through I’d never drink again.  And it somehow paid off because I was able to make the 2 hour trek home unscathed and without any emergency stops on the side of the road. 

And though I had an amazing time away, I was more than happy to walk back into the house and see these faces:

Coline - It looks like you all had a blast! I miss you all. Hopefully…actually I WILL make it the next time around. 🙂

Lisa - I just wanted to say how incredibly jealous I was to see a beer in your hand…and that pink yummy looking shot. I haven’t had a drink since Nov. 23rd.
i know it will be worth it, but with months still to go I just wanted you to know I was jealous. A nice cold glass of white wine on my back deck would be great…..
p.s. on the bright side I have been hangover free that entire time!!!

Shannen - I feel your pain, Lisa. It had been over a year for me. Well worth the wait though.
