Girl Time!!

This weekend I got a special treat- a girl's weekend with one of my oldest, best buds!! Shelly came to visit me all the way from Scapoose! I know what you're thinking, but it really is a long way considering she is a busy, working mother of four active kids!! Her husband sent her down for her 30th birthday present. We had a blast; spent the whole time gabbing, eating, and shopping. We even found our way to the spa for a pedicure! Shel and I met our senior year of high school (introduced by our Army recruiter), we went through basic training and our LPN program together. Since we finished our Army enlistment, it's been hard to find time together between our families, jobs and the distance between us. In spite of that, we've managed to stay in touch and she's been such a supportive friend to me over the past several years. She even helped me with my baby registry at Target- who better to go with than an expert Mom?? It was such a fun time, although by last night, her kids were calling her- begging her to come home, so I know she was greatly missed at home!
