reunion weekend

last weekend for memorial day five of my girlfriends from college and i went to washington d.c. for our yearly reunion. russell stayed home with the kids for three days (yes, he is amazing), and let me go spend some much needed quality time with these ladies.

we spent one day on the water in annapolis, eating, talking, and shopping.

and another at a great flea market in d.c., then on to old town alexandria to do some more eating, talking, and shopping.

it was a treasured time.

these are the kind of friends that time and distance pass, but you can pick right up where you left off. the kind of friends that we share our real selves with, the good and the bad, and love each other always. the kind of friends that will truly pray for me when i ask it. i am blessed to call these ladies friends. and i pray i am the kind of friend to them that they are to me.

i spent a good bit of time in this booth at the flea market trying to figure out how i could use these in my house somewhere. they are just so pretty.

and they found a place...

a wonderful trip. but, it was very good to get home to my family.
