Girls Weekend

My high school friends and I met in Carbondale this past weekend for our girl's weekend. Heather, Carmin and Michelle live in Nashville, Laura lives in Bloomington and Sherri and I are Mt. Zion so Carbondale was a nice half-way point. We arrived at about 11:30 on Saturday, went to eat Mexican, went shopping, back to the hotel for freshening up, then to dinner at a Japanese steakhouse, then back to the hotel to hang out until 2:00 a.m. (or 1:00 a.m. because of the time change) I love these girls so much. I have been friends with them for 24 years and I still think they are awesome. We laugh so much and we all still have so very much in common. We all have many of the same struggles and joys. I realized that although we do tell many of the same stories every time we get together, our perspective changes through the years--especially now that some of us have teenagers. I never get tired of hearing the same stories and I think we would all agree that we all thought we had heard everything there was to know about each other's high school experience, however, we discovered something new this weekend! Heather told us something new and it is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I am not going to share the story because if she kept it quiet for this long, I don't think she wants me telling it on the internet but just trust me, it is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!! I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. So, the moral of this story is....good friends are a rare find and I am very blessed to have these women in my life. And, just when you think you know everything about them, they might just surprise you! Just in case you might think that I am overzealous in my love for these gals, check out MICHELLE'S BLOG because she said it better than I could!
