Last weekend I went down to St. George with a few girlfriends. What a blast we had!! I've never been one to take time out for myself and head out of town with just the girls, but Oh my Gosh!! It is just what the doctor ordered!!
It was so nice just to lay out by the pool for 3 days, read (well sortof), shop, laugh, and laugh some more, eat out, and smile when we heard kids crying and got to joyfully lay back in our chairs knowing they weren't our kids! There were moments I felt as if I was a crazy high school girl again, and then there were moments that I was so happy to be who I am at this time in my life and the experiences I've had that have gotten me this far. It's amazing how a bunch of friends can bring out the best, the wildest, the crazy and fun sides out in you as well as help you remember who you are as a mother, wife, church member, and friend.
I am SO GRATEFUL for my girlfriends. Not very many times in my life have I felt such a NEED for them. As I get older and am in the heart of raising my kids, I realize how much I VALUE my friends, how much I LOVE them, and how GRATEFUL I am for their wisdom and life experiences. I hope in 30 years from now, we will still have the opportunity to laugh, act like high school girls, lay out by the pool and spend a little time away... just the girls.

Glad you guys had so much fun. I was bummed I couldn't make it but I will try next time:)
oh my that sounds sooooooooo fun! and relaxing! i love girls night out, but a get away sounds even better! i agree that girlfriends are the best!
This sounds so fun! I would love to have some friends that would like to go out and have a girls weekend out! That would be a blast! Maybe we could do this with just us girls and leave the husbands home and kids! Just mom Jenni, Jana, Nicole and you and me!! That would be fun!!
I love the picture! Although we all look a little naked since you can't see our swim suits. I am so glad i was able to make it this time. I too value the friends in my life more so now as a mother. It keeps me grounded and brings me back to womanhood after many days of motherhood. Thanks for being you!
