GIRLS!

Way back at the first of February, my girlfriends from Faulkner and I got together. It was wonderful to see them again. This trip was super special because I had the pleasure of meeting two new additions to the group, Sonora & Grayson. They are both fabulous...neither had a true nap and were happy the entire day! It truly was amazing!! Grayson is very mobile, but he was so good and so content with his ball. Big pats on the back to Shaunna & Lisa! Grayson & Sonora are so adorable and I can't wait to see them again!

We had a great day that began with breakfast at Sashy's (which btw, is AMAZING). Our spouses (minus Mark) joined us for the initial reunion and it was sooo fun!! Boys and girls split (except Grayson) and the gals headed to the oxygen bar. It is an old tradition we started when we were at Faulkner. It's quite hilarious. With an oxygen tube that you see on hospital patients, you inhale pure scented oxygen. For example if you sniff eucalyptus, you will feel more energized. If you sniff cinnamon, you feel more vivacious in the bedroom! Lisa and Jan have experienced wonderful bursts of energy [haven't heard the outcome of the cinnamon], but I've yet to experience the difference. But it's a fun tradition anyways. ;)

We did a bit of browsing at a children's store and the antique mall, and then headed to the main event...tea time!! Gracie's is so good. This is also a tradition and hats are a must!! It truly is hilarious. You can see that in the pictures. Following tea, [former] Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee had a rally at Faulkner. It was really awesome. I had never been to a rally and the excitement can reel you in! We met back with the guys there and headed to Jan's favorite spot - Wings! I think we were there FOREVER...super slow, but at least we had even longer to visit. Also, we got to talk a heap of politics with Jared Morris, who worked on the Huckabee campaign and was a delegate! He convinced us to vote for Huck!

It was a wonderful time and I cannot wait to do it again!

Additional shout outs to Jan, who is with child, was a TROOPER on her birthday because the baby is having a ball hanging out on her sciatica nerve = pain, lots of pain. Shaunna gets a special shout out for sticking to her diet. Her will power was amazing!! I know her trainer was SO proud. And to Mark for keeping Brock, so Jen could have the day off. We missed you both! And Jenny we missed you sooooo much too.
