This group of ladies have been friends of mine since Jr. high school. That's a long time!! We have been through boyfriends, girl fights, break-ups and make-ups, school dances and activities, graduations, getting married, having babies and other random triumphs and defeats. We have children the same ages, or close to it, and are fortunate to still live close enough to see each other often. We have a standing GNO dinner each month, although there's usually one or two missing from dinner to dinner.

We decided to have a Girlcation and we headed to Galena for the weekend. Although there were a couple of girls that couldn't make it:( we still managed to have some fun! We hung out, got some sun, did some shopping, sang some karaoke (well a lot of Karaoke because there wasn't a lot of people in the bar that night:)), some even got a tattoo (or two:)). We had such fun! Fun reminiscing and talking about our families, coming up with plans to help us survive when our kids become the age we all were when we became friends and our latest triumphs and defeats.

While we may have made some questionable choices along the way and gotten into some mischief we could always count on each other. What I can hope for my girls is they will be as blessed as me to find their own group of amazing ladies to grow-up with and lean on, learn from and laugh with.

Thanks for a great weekend girls!!!
