What is it about girlfriends that
make them so special?
· Maybe, it's the fact that they listen to your joys and your
fears and still love you no matter how outrageous your ideas are
· Perhaps it's the fact that just because you don't see each
other as often as you'd like you're still able to pick up where you left off
· Or could it be that you are guaranteed to have a blast each
time you see them
Each year my college friends and I
arrange an overnight get together. As I'm sure you can imagine, we enjoy being
able to reminisce about good times we've shared along with creating new memories!
This year my friend, Courtney,
graciously hosted us. It was only about a 45 minute drive from her house to
mine {We live on the opposite sides of town}.
After unloading our bags we spent some time just chitchatting
before heading to get pedis. I love how soothing simple conversation and
laughter are.
We never really have definite plans
other than to get pedis. It's the one consistent part that we have each year.

After getting pedis we headed to The
Flying Cupcake. I had a Chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake {There are several fun flavors like this}. I want
you to imagine how tasty chocolate chip cookie dough is. Now think about the best
cupcake you've ever had. You know the kind that are super moist and they have
icing that is really smooth, creamy, rich, and chocolaty. Like the best you've EVER
tasted. Ok now combine these two treats and wham! you have the Chocolate
chip cookie dough cupcake!

While we were painting we took a few pictures and sent them to our husbands. They had some interesting comments regarding our art work.
Brent wanted to know where the rest of my painting was.
Rachel's husband, Josh, told her she needed to drink some more wine before finishing her painting.
Aren't they nice and supportive? {Jerks!}

When our canvases were completed we were STARVING so we headed to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. The Cheesecake Factory, just in case you were wondering is like one of my all time FAVORITE restaurants! If I always got to choose where to eat {and if I had an unlimited supply of money} I would choose The Cheesecake Factory.
I was shocked to learn that my friend Cat had not previously eaten at The Cheesecake Factory. I felt like it was my duty as her friend to take her there so she, too could enjoy some of the best food on the planet. She agreed, it's yummy, and she would totally go back!
I'm sure you can guess this, but we headed back to Courtney's for a good 'ol fashion slumber party {well minus the bra freezing} and talked and fell asleep.
When I returned to reality this morning I was gleefully greeted by B and G who jumped up and down saying, "Mommy's home! I missed you Mommy!" Baby M got a huge smile on her face and kicked her feet rapidly. I had fun being away, but it's nice to know they missed me at home.
Do you get away with your friends? What do you like to do when you get away?
What a fun weekend with your friends. Can't beat pedis, wine, and girl talk.
ReplyDeleteYou sure can't! Only wish it could have been longer.
DeleteWhat a fun time with your friends. I've gone away on a women's retreat and to a mothers of multiples weekend.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the wine and painting class. I'm limited to drawing stick figures but the wine part would get me there.
I'll bet you enjoyed the retreat weekend :)
DeleteWine helps with anything, right? Seriously though, the artist walks you through each step. It's not as complicated as it appears.
You girls are way more productive than my friends are! We usually get away to the beach every other year, but we just sit on the beach and drink...no pedis, cupcakes or painting!
ReplyDeleteI wish we could get away to a beach! That would be awesome!
DeleteSounds like a great weekend! I'd be happy with just a pedi!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great weekend! I would also be happy with just a pedi. The only time I get one is with them.
