if the Lord is Lord of them! What an amazing weekend! Me and 4 of my high school friends left Thursday night for Hot Springs for a long weekend and it was so much fun! (Keren, Misty's sister-in-law joined us on Friday night) It is not often that any of us get to leave our husbands and children at home and have a weekend all to ourselves...and we have all decided that we will not wait this long to have another trip! It was so wonderful to sit around, doing nothing and still have the greatest time doing it! We went out to eat and got to eat our meals hot (we usually have to take the time to cut up chicken fingers for our kids) we got to go shopping (for things that aren't found in the toy section...although all of our kids got some kind of prize;) we were on the lake ALL day on Saturday (without having to come in for naps and potty breaks) and we all got to talk (about things other than dirty diapers and cartoons) and let me tell you there wasn't one minute of our weekend that someone wasn't talking (we had LOTS to talk about!) It is amazing how rejuvenating a weekend like that can be! I don't think that anyone realized how much we needed this trip til we got there! I am so thankful that I have friends in my life that I long to spend time with, that want to know whats going on in my life and that love me for me! We don't have to pretend to be someone we're not, and we are loved just the same. Life gets hectic and times get hard, but its nice to know that you can take a weekend away, with friends you love and God can use that time to renew your body, mind, and spirit! I love you girls and am so glad that we got the opportunity to spend lots of quality time together! I really needed it and am looking forward to the next time...I just pray that its not in 30 more years, when we have to start looking for retirement condo's :)

AMEN! And yesterday and today, being back in real life... I am SCREAMING to be back at the lake LAST WEEKEND! POOH on this coming weekend, I want to be back with Y'ALL! And my kids can go too, and my other family members, just not Chad (is that horrible!) I do love him. I swear!
You girls will never know how I needed that weekend. And I know God prepares you for what is to come and I feel like He sent me so I could remember how much I love and need Jerry.
And to prepare me for this week. You girls renewed my faith and I thank God for friends like you. Please pray for my family.Love you- Shannon
So glad that you girls got a chance to get away. I really wish I could have, but circumstances way beyond my control won't allow that. Sometimes LIFE just happens when you wish it woulndn't. Maybe I will be able to catch up next time we turn 30??
I LOVE YALL SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for a wonderful and MUCH needed weekend of laughs, love and special moments! Yall are GREAT and life is better because you are all in it!!! God, thank you for the blessing of friendship! And, Amy, you better come next time - you were missed!
