I enjoyed my Monday to Monday get-a-way...
hopping from climate to climate to see some beautiful friends.
I didn't take a picture, but I loved staying in Katherine's gorgeous home and eating her homemade pizza, shopping for decor, talking, catching up and generally enjoying a warm Las Vegas winter.
Next up, Portland.
We all agreed our husbands rock,
and let us enjoy a weekend away.
We visited the temple together,
rented an incredible beach house,
and generally had no plans except for lots of shopping, eating and talking.
Being surrounded by talented, compassionate and smart women was so wonderful.
I am so blessed to call them friends.
Memories to last a lifetime for sure.
One more thing...
I remember the transition from single to married...no kids to mother...
and each time, there was a period of realizing that my "me time" was
getting a tad bit smaller.
(close to non-existent these days?)
So having a week,
A GLORIOUS WEEK
to myself was lovely.
lovely, lovely, lovely.
But it was also just enough time to miss my children,
and miss sharing a bed with my husband,
and realize that although a girl needs time away,
my life here is pretty good too.

Seriously I think that's the snazziest, most thoughtful gift a husband can give his wife.
Don't you just love girl time? It's my favorite thing in the world :)

Yes I know exactly what you mean! For me the most difficult transitions were Ella's 3 naps to 2 naps, then 2 naps to 1 nap, then 1 nap to no naps. such a change of lifestyle!
Wow!! What a crazy group of girls. It was wonderful to see you!! I really enjoyed our conversations and getting to go to the temple together was wonderful! I agree that our husbands are pretty amazing. We are definitely lucky girls!
