my goodness!
how can it have possibly been 2 weeks since i wrote last?
where does the time go?
my little girlie get-away was oh so amazing.
this was our view from the house we rented together in logan, utah.
i was overjoyed that it rained during our visit since rain is a rarity in phoenix.
{and we spent almost 98% of our time in our pajamas anyway so rain away}
this is what happens when 8 women go to the store HUNGRY...
...and fill their separate carts with NO MEAL PLAN!!
we could have fed all of you in those 4 days!!! and your families too!
luckily we had some clever culinary women amongst us...
who knew how to throw things together....
and pamper us with their kitchen skills.
{sorry mel i didn.t get a photo of the JAMBALAYA!!!! you rocked it though!}
we came together with no agenda...just love.
we each brought our separate art forms to work on...
a lot of painting...
a little stitching...
i think christy brought her entire art studio...
{but in her defense...she had a deadline to meet!!}
one of our outings took us to "the bluebird" for lunch
it.s a neat old restaurant in the middle of town.
{who is the silly photographer in the mirror...ooops}
{i am pretty sure my grandma spurrier ate horehound candy back in the day!}
{these girls can ingest some serious whip cream...
the waitress finally just came back with the entire can of it for our table!}
this was a hilarious shot i snapped of my girls taking a picture of ........
THIS... bluebird on the ceiling. artists are so funny!
we made sure to get our antique and thrift store shopping in.
we shared advice....and found some along the way...
it says..."FORGIVE YOUR ENEMIES. IT MESSES UP THEIR HEADS!"
we had an impromptu photo shoot...
you can read more about it on sweet jeanne oliver's blog.
i am so grateful to christy tomlinson for gathering together her "trues".
her girlfriends. her soul sisters.
my circle of friendships was strengthened and i even added a beautiful new
sister to my family of friends...love you jamie soucy.
{she even lives in the town i am moving to this summer..such a blessing}
as i said in my last post.
i can.t tell you how blessed i feel to have the opportunity
to gather with such women...
to refuel.
to lift and be lifted.
to have my spirit fed.
to be inspired.
to laugh.
to eat.
to laugh..
to play.
to laugh...
to color.
TO LAUGH SO SERIOUSLY HARD!!!
to sew.
to
just
"BE".
girlfriends are a necessity of life!
cultivate girlfriends!!
