Just one of those nights!

Gran Gran brought over a cookie cake to eat after our celebratory dinner for the boys!

  The celebration turned into....one of those night....

one of those nights at our house when the music gets turned on....everyone dances....acts silly....and laughs till their bellies hurt!

I love these nights! :)

The Fray

For Valentine's Day I got Jeremy tickets to see The Fray....and tonight was the night! We headed to the Palace and the weight of the world slipped off our shoulders as we stepped away for just a minute to enjoy the music and being together with our best friends!

It felt so good to be out and about! Jenna and I sang every song like we were at a Bon Jovi concert in high school...and we really enjoyed our drink called "the Janet" from the bar!

 It was so fun! A night of laughter and freedom....sometimes it just feels so good to let go!

Dining Divas

Marcia and Amanda have been sending Jenna and I invitations to Dining Divas for over a year now....and we never got to one....but we made a pact that this year we were going! We went to our first one this week...it was dining divas for manis and pedis....wine and munchies and it was so fun! When we walked in the owner said to put "the sisters" in a chair....she was talking about Jenna and I...

I loved her right away!

 It was so nice to sit and relax.....with such beautiful woman...inside and out....to connect with old friends....and new friends alike.

 Jenna and I were ticked from head to toe to be there!

 There is nothing like a night of laughter.....

 to bring you closer together.....as friends....and I cherish these girls so much!

 I feel so lucky to have Cassie as my new neighbor and friend......and I love that she has just jumped right in....we all just love her!

 We headed over to Karems for one more drink before we headed home....we were laughing and enjoying girl talk when "Aqua Man" showed up to our table....Meet Aqua Man! Marcia named him because of his shirt....

 He just settled in to our table.....would not leave.....(oh dear!)

 Here is me scooting Beth's chair closer to mine......she and I are on the same page about Randoms touching us in any way!

 Having him join us was crazy...very funny...and at the end of the night...it made for a funny memory...one I am sure we will look back and laugh about for sure!

 So we had a fun, first Dining Divas and we are so glad we went! We can't wait till next month!

adhering to the girlfriend code....

I love this quote and I love these girls! 

I love that we can talk about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and everyone is open to share...because they feel safe in this circle...there is an unwritten trust because the room is full of confident, kind, loving hearts....and women who want the best for you....every part of you! (wink, wink)

And although I must adhere to the girlfriend code and not divulge the topic of this night....I can tell you that I have never laughed so hard in my life and truly was rolling on the floor laughing....many, many times!

Good times....great friends...abs that hurt from laughing so hard...I'd say it was a good night!

why not!

It is so fun to treat the kids in a way that they are not expecting...like today we had a summer shower...and the boys just home from basketball camp ....asked if they could go out and play in the rain...I smiled and said "why not!"...they were so excited...thinking I would say they should rest after such a long day...but why not! It felt so good and they were so joyful!
