Girlfriends make the world go round!

I just had an amazing weekend visiting with my 2 best friends!  One came down from Virginia and the other lives a town over but it is the rare occassion that we are all able to get together at once.  I love reminiscing about college days and laughing until tears are rolling down your face!  There are few people in my life that I feel completely comfortable around that I can totally be myself and not have a care in the world and these girls are 2 of them!  It was a breath of fresh air for me to have that release and much needed adult conversation!  We may or may not have enjoyed a few cocktails and partaken in some school girl gossip talk!   And I would be lying if I said I wasn't little embarrassed to put my recylcing bin out on the curb this week with all of the clanking wine bottles!  It was nice putting the kiddos to bed and pouring ourselves a glass of wine and hitting the pool for a few laps too.  It was just a very relaxing weekend and just what I needed after the past week I had!  They took me to dinner for my birthday even though it is a few weeks away and we cooked dinner together while our kiddos played and had their own fun the others evenings.  Friendships like this are hard to come by these days and I don't take it for granted.  It is weekends like this that I am truly going to miss once we move to Japan.  Where I love meeting new people and making new friends, there is something to be said for old friendships that have such a history and continue to grow year after year regardless of the changes life throws us along the way!  I love my girls!!  Thanks for saving me from my own insanity this week!
