Sisterhood

How do I even begin to describe my weekend? Words just don't come close. It was double digit friendships, talking like there was no tomorrow, reminiscing about our BYU glory days, catching up on the last 10 years (so complicated we created a 10 ft. timeline), laughing so hard I feel like my tummy is a little flatter, eating candy like it's Halloween (maybe my tummy isn't flatter), the hum of constant chatter, popping in and out of different conversations, staying up until hours I haven't seen since I was nursing babies, shedding tears at our heartaches, then the tears turned to laughter and somehow it all seemed so complete and comforting. I think Ada's face sums up how we felt about the weekend. Ada, you know this is an adorable picture!

I LOVE these women! Each of them is absolutely devoted to living the gospel of Jesus Christ as best as they possibly can. There is no grey area with these women, they're solid. They lift me up, encourage me, and make me a better person. I hope I do a bit of the same for them. Jen, our trip coordinator, and Sara, our token accountant!

Liz and Lizzie, maker of delicious foods and maker of my flatter tummy. This girl makes me laugh!

Linsey, a trooper traveling 7 mos. pregnant, and Ada, our Chatty Cathy!Mandy (who almost didn't make it. so glad you did- it wouldn't have been the same without you, lady!) and Jen mapping out their lives for the last ten years on our much-needed timeline. Jen D.H. and Denver are pictured on the chair behind them. Sorry Jen, you must have been nursing every time I pulled out my camera. You definitely get the "Mother of the Year" award!Catie, our rock and our inspiration! This woman's spirit is so strong, her testimony so powerful.

Club 302 at their best at Duke Gardens!

What I would give to live on the same street as these women! The depth of their love and faith amazes me. Our weekend was sweet, it was lovely, it was perfect.
