Girls Gone (not so) Wild

I am SOOO blessed by the incredible women in my life! The 3 ladies in this post certainly make the top of that list! Last weekend the 4 of us met at Hollie's lake house in Cisco (yes-there is water near Abilene. Shocking, right?) and had a fabulous reunion. I ALMOST backed out this year b/c Nash had a virus, but my wonderful husband insisted that I still go and he would stay home with the sick toddler. I'm so glad I did! (And Nash recovered quickly, Thank God!And thanks to my Mark!)
I knew Shaye from growing up together in Conroe. Then, we met Deb and Hollie our first day of college orientation b/c they were a couple of doors down in the dorm. We were pretty much inseparable throughout LCU days. We started doing girl weekends a few years ago and it is always a good time! We've all known each other so long now that our friendships are just easy - we can say anything and act any way we feel and know that it's safe. What a blessing!

First of all, we ate and ate very well. Hollie is pretty much a gourmet chef in the kitchen. In fact, we nicknamed her "The Machine" b/c of her mad home-making skills. This is her beautiful strawberry shortcake she was taking a picture of for her Hungry Oven Bake Shop website. Look her up in Abilene if you need some baked goods - she's seriously legit!



Look - "The Machine" did the table up all purty! She even turned down our beds at night with a note and little gift. Other peoples' gifts amaze me b/c it would never even cross my mind to do something like that! (Don't everyone start fighting over staying at my house, now!)

This is more my style.

Deb and me - she had good intentions of starting Twilight, but we were talking too much!

The dock - pretty much my idea of Heaven

I had to test out the new waterproof camera. You can just imagine us trying to swim close enough together without hitting/kicking each other so that my short little arms could capture this pic.

Ooops! Locked out. We were looking for open windows. Turns out the door was just jammed so all ended well.

Me, Deb, and Shaye enjoying the view
