This weekend I enjoyed the rare and much-sought-after period of relaxation and reconnection known as Girls Weekend. Nearly ten years have passed since we all graduated from Baylor, but when I'm with these girls, it feels like no time at all has gone by. Whether we've stayed in close touch or gone our separate ways, I'm pleased to say we picked right back up where our friendships left off and made lots of new memories together. And, thankfully, we've all known each other long enough that we no longer feel the need to impress each other with our hair styles, make-up, or half-truths about how wonderful our lives have turned out. We have earned the privilege of being real together.
We traveled to the small fishing town of Matagorda, Texas for three glorious days of R & R, beach time, porch sitting, margarita drinking, and catching up. And let me tell you, we got our fill. It was a perfect weekend, and a wonderful reminder to all of us that somewhere in our souls - just below the surface of jobs, boyfriends, husbands, play dates, and nursing bras - we are still a bunch of twenty-something college girls, full of youth, beauty, hope, and love. The Lord has blessed us with rich friendships that pass the test of time and distance.
I'm so blessed by these ladies, and I'm already looking forward to next year's reunion!
