Pure and simple - I was in a little bit of a funk. I was frustrated, exhausted and needed a break from life...it was needed.
So girls came from near and far...and we piled into my car...and we drove. And then we drove. And we drove some more. And then for fun..we drove a little bit more.
And we chatted and caught up. We laughed and smiled. And then we kept on driving.
Finally - three hours later - we arrived at our friend Carlys house.
From there - a million and a half more chats ensued. Laughter. Giggles. Far too many carbs. All sorts of awesome.
If you want some words that describe this girls night it goes a little like this: carbs, cheese, cards, chit chats, carrides, cute cats & chill.
There is no way that I can even begin to describe how much I loved hanging out with my girls last night.
It didn't matter that we were in a city we'd never been to before - that most of us hadn't even HEARD of before our Carly moved there for work. It didn't matter that we haven't had a chance to get together just the five of us..probably since our fourth year of university...where if more than a day or two went by without us all hanging out...it was absolutely craaaaaaaaazy. But it didn't matter that things have changed, that people have changed, that we've lived in other countries, travelled to other countries, gotten raises, new jobs, new boys, rings, houses, cars and all of those other things that happen in life. We sat around the coffee table in a living room like we've done a thousand, million times. We shared. We laughed. We reminissed. We talked about how we MUST be getting old...and we played our favourite games - yeah - we played bid euchre. In a word? AWESOME.
It made me happier than I could ever describe to have myself surrounded by people who I love so much..that love ME so much.
It made me grin from ear to ear to laugh and talk as if we were 18 again and sitting in residence blabbing away for hours...to just transport back to that time and realize that despite everything..some things never change.
And now - because I forgot/lost (?) my camera card somehow on the WAY to go visit the carly...I give you some oldschool pictures...because I took a bunch of pics..but they're all on CARLYS camera card..which is with..her...and not..me. Boo.
Happy, silly, ridiculous, classy, and everything inbetween...love! :)
