Friends

 Last weekend was a big treat.  One of my favorite people in the world came to spend the weekend with me.  Tyler went off on a guys weekend in Orlando so my friend Laura came to Palm Beach to have a girls weekend with me:)  When you're married it's a lot harder to have that much needed girl time so I was very excited!  The weekend consisted of a lot of talking, laughing, and eating and of course plenty of wine, cosmos and margaritas.

Laura and I met back in college when we both joined Chi Omega.  We were one of the other's maid of honors in our weddings (yes we each had 2.  It's what the cool people are doing)  I've always loved our ability to be completely honest with one another and find humor in practically everything.  She's the first person I call when I have a funny story or need advice or need someone to pray for me.  She's a life-long friend and I'm so thankful for her!  So glad I got to spend some awesome quality time with her (if you know me well you know how I love quality time.  It's totally my love language.)  You should also know that my good friend is very talented.  Check out her website and see for yourself.  www.twigzdesign.com  

 

This weekend I also got to spend some girl time celebrating birthdays.  Happy Early Birthday Siiri and Jackie!:)  Both these lovely ladies are more friends that I'm so thankful for!  I'm very glad they were born and I get to call them my friends.  In fact I'm thankful for all the ladies that went out to celebrate!  It's kinda funny how when you leave college you can't imagine making new friends as good as the ones you already have.  But God's totally blessed me with some awesome ladies in my life.  There's no way to replace the old friends and those friendships still run strong but it's awesome to grow the new ones too.  It reminds me that God is all about relationships.  He blesses us through them time and time again and He desires to have one with us.  Do I spend as much time with God as I do my friends?  Do I invest in my relationship with Him like I  do with my family?  Not nearly enough but I'm working on it.  Thankfully, He loves me despite my failures.
