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.\u00a0\u00a06 of them, in fact (sadly, a few girls were absent, but very missed).\u00a0 These are girls I went to high school with and have known for over 21 years.\u00a0 We were regrouping to head up north for Monica’s bachelorette celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a few hours of sitting around catching up and drinking colourful concoctions (\u00e0 la Sarah), someone pointed out how unique this situation was.\u00a0 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\u00a0a year to spend multiple days together without the distractions of everyday life.\u00a0 We certainly are lucky to still have each other and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.<\/p>\n

We had a blast.\u00a0 And after a year of avoiding alcohol, the day after proved to be a bit of a challenge.\u00a0 I again found myself making promises that if I made it through I’d never drink again.\u00a0 And it\u00a0somehow 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
