The Weekend

I loved college. Every stinkin' minute of it. That may be an exaggeration but you get the point. And part of the reason I loved it was living up close and personal with my best friends in the dorm. We have so many amazing memories of practical jokes, dates gone bad (and good), getting dressed for formals, dance parties, cramming for exams, helping eachother through hard times and so much more we'd have to stay up till five am to talk about them all, which I did this weekend. I am so thankful that God created friendship. It is one of the best feelings to be surrounded with people who know you, the real you, the good and the ugly and love you anyway, support you, laugh with you and call you out. I spent the weekend with Taylor, Caroline, Lindsey, and Susan in Atlanta. Taylor was our hostess and showed us her life in Atlanta. She cooked for us, pulled out our old college videos (Greek Sing!!!), took us to the Cherokee Country Club to lay out and relax, took us shopping, took us to some fun Atlanta spots, to Jersey Boys and to church where her rockstar husband leads worship. I loved catching up to all hours of the morning. I loved Jersey Boys. I loved seeing Taylor's wedding video (I had to miss the wedding because I was so sick with Noah and ended up on bedrest shortly after making the attempted journey) I cried as if I was really there and not on a couch watching it on DVD a year and a half later. I loved the Flying Biscuit. They put sugar on top of their biscuits. Yum. Seriously. I loved sipping wine on the patio at the Buckhead Brio's with some of my favorite women watching Atlanta drive by. I loved bring out the old memories and discovering new things about each of my friends. I loved coming home to my boys who missed me! And even though after several hours of debating and discussions we still haven't solved one of college's greatest mysteries.... who I took to freshman winter formal and sophomore fall formal I thought the weekend was a perfect way to start the summer!
