I spent the weekend with my college girlfriends for our annual MLK weekend trip. This year we were missing six girls who couldn't be there including Jenna who is in Guatemala and Leah who is on bed rest so her twin boys don't come too soon.It is so nice to be able to pick up right where we left off even though a lot has happened in the past year among our group. We were able to go to the Saturday night service at Richland Hills and hear Christine sing. After all the prayers for her health and the frustration of her many hospital visits over the past year, it was so great to hear her singing and praising again. When I lived with her in college, I always loved to hear her sing around the house.
This year, Kayci's in-laws were nice enough to let us all stay at their house, and they helped baby-sit Truitt so Kayci could enjoy some girl time. They were so kind to do this because we pretty much took over their house. We enjoyed her mother-in-law's good cooking while we were there and we spent a lot of time at the house just talking and catching up with what's been going on with everyone. We saw the movie "27 Dresses" which was very funny and a great one to see with girlfriends; we ate out at Pei Wei, one of my favorite restaurants; and we spent some quality time at Super Target. I left feeling relaxed and refreshed, which is something that I was really needing. Girlfriends are great therapy!
