Lent 2014 - Day 3 - My Girls

My Girls

I have this amazing group of women I get to call my friends.  Every once in a while, we get together for our Girl's Night In.  They all show up at my house in their PJs or sweats and we sit around eating Chinese take out and drinking wine. Eventually we watch a chick flick or two, while drinking more wine.

It's perfect!

While we're hanging out in our comfy clothes we talk about everything. We discuss the finer points of our relationships, shopping, our kids, food, etc.  It's a safe and warm place where we get to love one another for exactly who we are.  We talk about serious things.  We hug, we cry, but mainly, we laugh.  Sometimes we laugh so hard we pee our pants (anyone got a a dollar bill?).

I am so very lucky to have these women in my life.  They lift me up and hold me close.  I love them all more than I can say. I know they are always there for me, and I'm there for them.  I love that my daughter gets to see how close women can be, even though she thinks we're crazy. We've taught her some very important skills, like how to open a bottle of wine and how to support each other just by being there. I hope that someday she has a group of friends like you and that she can embarrass her daughter the same way.

Thank you ladies, for you make my life better just by being in it!

I think it's time to schedule another Girl's Night In!
