Girl's Weekend

Every year since high school graduation, a group of us girls get together for a girl's weekend at the Oregon coast. Some of us have been friends since kindergarten and others since high school, but the number of years doesn't seem to matter when it comes to the strength of our friendships. We've been together through the loss of loved ones, the excitement of our weddings and the joy of starting families, not to mention the memories of growing up together.

This year's girl's weekend fell in the first week of August and I was so ready to spend 3 days with my girls. We had a small baby with us at the beach because one of the girls had just had her first baby 6 weeks prior to girl's weekend. It was such a joy to spend so much time with my good friend's baby girl since I don't live in the area and won't see her again until she is about 6 months old!

Every girl's weekend seems to always be filled with eating, shopping and lots and lots of talking. We always end up in the kitchen, eating and talking and we continue talking into the early hours of the morning. Even when we get into bed, with the intentions of sleeping, we continue to talk for another hour at least.

I don't know what I would do without these weekends or without these wonderful girls. I am so thankful to have these amazing women in my life!

Kimmy, I am so thankful you sat next to me in freshman math. I can't imagine it any other way!

We've been friends so long I can't remember life without Kristin.

I don't have a pic of all 8 of us, but here are 5 out of 8. Megan, Kristin, Me, Erin (& Lilli) and Kim.

Thanks, Erin, for the pictures!
