While Dan was busy with my two babes over the weekend, I was basking in the glow of time away with no responsibility, no internet, no clocks and no schedule. \u00a0I won’t lie, I missed my family, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying very rare time away with people who have been my best friends for almost a quarter of a century. \u00a0The people who’ve known me the longest. \u00a0Who remember me when I had braces and teased hair. \u00a0The same people who remember tales of my very first date and also of the last person I dated (and everything in between). \u00a0They know all my stories and have been there to offer a shoulder whenever I’ve needed it. \u00a0We were just kids ourselves when we met so many years ago and now we all watch our kids play together. \u00a0I feel so fortunate to still know these gals. \u00a0To still see them and to still be part of their lives.<\/p>\n
This weekend we laughed, we ate, we drank, we relaxed, we played, we ate, we danced, we napped, we talked, we almost lost Alicia on a runaway dock, we ate some more,\u00a0but mostly we just enjoyed. \u00a0There were rarely moments of silence as we have 23+ years of memories to keep us busy. \u00a0We talked lovingly about those we were missing, hoping the next time sees us all together again.<\/p>\n
I’ve heard it said that you should surround yourself with people who lift you higher, and this weekend I did just that. \u00a0Thanks girls, for another perfect weekend away.<\/p>\n
