Last weekend Grace and I had a girl's weekend with some of my best friends from college. Jake stayed home to have a guy's weekend with Ty and had a great time going out on Papa and JoJo's boat and swimming at Lake Conroe.
I'm truly blessed with some wonderful friends! My friends Rachel lives in Florida but was in Dallas for a conference. Randi lives in Arkansas but her parents live in Dallas so she came over and her parents were nice enough to let us stay at their house. Shannon lives in Dallas but spent the weekend with us at Randi's parent's house. We really missed having Sallie with us, but she had just started a new teaching job in New York and couldn't come.
We had such a relaxing, refreshing weekend! We lounged by the pool and talked and talked and talked. We also shopped a little and ate a lot :) Who could complain about that? These girls have always been such an encouragement to me and have lifted me up spiritually. It doesn't matter how much time goes by, we always pick up where we left off. We can laugh together, cry together, and pray together. Technology today makes the world smaller and we can keep up on facebook, blogs, or by phone, but there is just something about being together that is special.
Grace came along since I'm nursing her, but she did great! She loved all of her surrogate aunts and the extra attention. She didn't sleep well, but that was partly my fault. I stayed up late every night and then would get up early with her around 6:00.
I definitely feel renewed after being with the girls and hope our next reunion comes much sooner. It also makes we want to have a giant Harding reunion as well. Here's to great friends!
