I LOVE these girls!

Just when I think I can't take anymore and I need a break - Girls Weekend Rolls Around. Thank Goodness! Girls Weekend is something that my mom and her girlfriends started years ago. You take one weekend a year and get away..relax...enjoy the girlfriends that you never get to see...and simply take a break. A few years back we started the 2nd generation of girls weekend. We are all the daughters or daughter in-laws of my mom and her friends. For the most part we were raised with each other...we have know each other our whole lives. We don't see each other very often and if truth be told we may not have a whole lot in common out in the real world...but at the same time we have a lot in common - if that makes sense. Get us together for a weekend and we ALWAYS have a good time. Not only that, but each of these girls holds a special place in my heart. We have bond that cannot be broken. I truly feel that when I am with these girls I can be my most honest self, with no one casting judgement on me. It is no competion, the one with the most toys does not win, it is raw, true emotion that we share with each other. We share our fears, our past, our hopes, our dreams, our weaknesses, and our happiness with each other. Their is no judgement passed on these weekends...and what a relife to be among people like that!
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgement you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye. You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
~Matthew 7: 1-5
We will always be there for each other, never judge each other and long live GIRLS WEEKEND!
