GIRLS ONLY BEACH TRIP!

I just got back from a long planned beach trip with 2 of my girlfriends and we had a WONDERFUL time! My boss was so good to us and let us rent her condo in Orange Beach this past weekend. We loved it and had the best time! It is really nice to get away for a few days and "be a girl"! Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in our day to day assignments...."Mom", "Wife", "Teacher", "Church Responsibilities", "Girl Scouts", etc. I have learned over the last year how important it is for me to take some ME TIME. It reminds me that I am special-because it is a sacrifice that my husband makes to be able to alott that time for me. It reminds me how good it feels to have fun, to hang out with friends, and to realize that I am not drowning in my many roles...at least not alone. It allows me to make real connections with other friends that I hope are going to be around for life. As I said this weekend, I would love to go every year, and when we are in our 80's and still having our "girl time", what wonderful memories we'll have.

Thank You to my dear friends for going to the beach and helping me to create some wonderful memories! I LOVE YOU GALS!

Thank you to my WONDERFUL husband for taking on all the responsibility of the weekend...especially when the realtor called on Friday afternoon and informed him that she wanted to show the house that afternoon!...and it was a mess!...and he had to rush home and clean it all up! And I think he did a good job too!

Here are a few pics from the weekend of us GIRLS having fun!
