Friday evening, I picked Lisa up at the airport, then we drove to Jason's Deli for a quick salad bar (and free ice cream!) dinner. We then headed to volleyball. The weather was very nice...couldn't have asked for better weather. We then drove home and she got to see Fozzy's new lion cut and our newly tiled bathroom. We then got ready and awaited for Jennifer, Katie, and Megan who were in route from Normal, IL. Lisa and I had a fun time playing Bananagrams. The rest arrived around 12:30am...we thought we'd head to bed shortly after that but who were we kidding...once we all got "reunited", it was just a talk/laughing session until nearly 3am! :)
Saturday morning, we awoke and got ready for a day at the neighborhood pool. It looked VERY nice outside...not a cloud in the sky. The walk to the pool was very pleasant...unlike the temperature of the water. It was FREEZING!!! Myself, Katie, and Megan took the plunge...jumped right in. We felt like ice cubes. Jennifer and Lisa slowly waded in. We tried to stay very active to get warm...it didn't work too well though! Either way, we all had fun though...right, Katie?
Saturday night we got ready, had our usual photo shoot (thanks, Jeff!) and headed to church. Then we ventured to Mi Ranchito for dinner and drinks. We enjoyed some tasty food, wine, and margaritas, and LOTS of laughs. (People in restaurants who get seated next to us must hate us!) After dinner, we picked up some mud slide mix and vanilla ice cream. Jennifer and Megan made those while the rest of us played bananagrams. It was a fun night.
Sunday, we headed to SPIN Pizza for lunch and then back to Town Center for some shopping for Jennifer's new office. We then headed home and they all took naps! For dinner, we headed to the Cracker Barrel. And then that night we played 5-way solitaire...those who know us well, know that we can't go a weekend together and not play 5-way solitaire! And then, thanks to Megan for finally winning the pyramid game so we could go to sleep. ;-)
This morning I showed them to I-35 and they were on their way! It was a great time...I never laugh as much and as hard as I do when I'm with them! Next year, we'll be heading to the quad cities and Lisa will host!
Cute pics! You are all so pretty. How fun to have 4 built in best friends! It is awesome that you are all so close.
