Girls weekend! Can I get a what-what?

Last weekend (after my husband was away on business for 4 days so the timing could not have been better!) I go to run away with 4 of my best friends!  Jiffy and I go way back to 6th grade and were college roomates all four years in college (thankfully she dragged me around with her wherever she lived) :)  College was where I met my other 3 girlies and now lifelong friends.  Jiffy and I lived with Sara Junior year and all five of us lived together senior year.  Which was, by far, the best year ever in college.  For one, I FINALLY turned 21 (I was the last one and looked way too young to ever even attempt a fake ID).  And for two, I formed a bond and friendship with these girls that would continue after graduation, traveling all over the US to visit each other (Nashville, TN, Houstin, TX, Chicago, IL and boring me that never left home :)).  We are all now living in the same city but busy jobs and raising families get in the way of seeing each other as often as we would like.  And when we get together w/ the kids we barely get to catch up or discuss our lives as we are busy feeding mouths, changing diapers or disciplining naughty children (well that is mostly me since I have the naughty ones).  But at least our children get to play as they will certainly grow up stuck w/ each other as friends whether they like it or not because their mommies will always be friends!  I shouldn't leave out the daddies, as we also went to college with some of the husbands; only Jiffy and I brought in outsiders :)  Good thing we know how to pick 'em because they fit in great-which makes for fun couples nights out too!  Point is, these girls are amazing and I am thankful to have them in my life!  Having great friends makes any of life's ups and downs and just the everyday in between better to have them to share it with!  (okay, those non-sentimentals out there may now go vomit from my sickly sweet moment :))
