On getting away

I spend this past weekend on Lake Travis with five of my best college girlfriends (We missed you, Allison!). Most all of us left our babies/kids at home to enjoy some good quality girl time. And good quality girl time it was indeed.

We laughed.

Took walks.

Made some yummy meals.

Stayed up way too late reminiscing about college days.

Stayed up way too late discussing the love for our families, plans for the future, our personal strengths and weaknesses.

Asked for and received parenting advice.

Laughed. A lot.

Went to eat at a fancy pants restaurant that served things like Gnocchi and Pork Tenderloin, instead of chicken nuggets.

Opened up and shared our highs and lows over the past year.

It. Was. Amazing.

I love you, girls. Here's to eleven years of friendship. And may this friendship that we share continue to grow even stronger as the years pass us by. And let's never forget the beauty that is getting away from everyday life, spending time as just girls, and taking time to rejuvenate the soul.

Because that is what getting away is. . . rejuvenating for the soul.
