I love LOVE LOOOOOOVE these girls - these are my Clemson girls and we very very rarely ever find time to get together just us to really catchup. Since I've moved to Charlotte, I definitely get to see them all more often, but never are we all completely together and if we are, kids are usually involved so we have 15 half-conversations and never get to finish. So this past weekend was a pure treat - we all locked in a weekend a while ago and planned a mountain retreat weekend in Marshall, NC. Just girls. It was so energizing being with these strong ladies of laughter, faith, and friendship since our Clemson days. It was so wonderful sitting and talking, soaking in the hot tub, cooking, having lunch in Hot Springs, NC, getting up that crazy driveway, watching Cold Mountain (since we couldn't hike Cold Mountain), tire-swinging, and just enjoying each other and catching up deeply. Thanks to our support systems, husbands, and friends for helping with all our kids to make this weekend getta-away possible. We all really needed it. These pictures from our collective iphones will get me through the next year til we can hopefully all do it again.
