Happy

I don’t need to use a lot of words in this post, because the photos say it all.

It was a great weekend.

img_6278.JPG Lots of photos…
img_6280.JPG …And lots of posing for photos.

It was a fantastic time away from it all. In fact, my face kinda hurts from laughing so much.

I can’t thank you guys enough…Abbe, Amy, Caro, Jene, Kristin, Meg, and (almost) Snowden. I really needed some fun, and I had more fun than I could have imagined. Thank you so very much.

staci.jpg Update – I was there, too, and here is photographic evidence. I didn’t have any photos of myself until I snatched this one from Caro.

I look so relaxed – I need to remember to hang on to this feeling.

  1. Glad you had fun! I love how those alpacas are each a different color and all lined up for your picture.

  3. Good for you! How wonderful to have such great girlfriends! As I get older, my female friends are truly becoming my sisters. Girls rock!

  4. I had so much fun! Although I will confess I was glad to sleep in my own bed last night knowing that no scorpions would fall out of the vent onto my pillow.

  5. So glad to hear and see you had fun. I think I would have been on the ceiling if I seen a scorpion, oh my. So glad we don’t get those things anywhere here.

  7. I love all the shots. I had such a great time even if I screamed a lot. I’m with Caro. It was nice sleeping in my own bed not worrying about scorpions dropping from the ceiling. I am actually still laughing when I think about certain things. So fun!

  15. Alpacas! SO cute!
    Scorpions! NOT cute!

    Glad you had a good time, it looks lovely.

  16. Good for you! I was feeling the laughter from the photos and knowing that us girls are really sometimes the only ones who can take care of each other! Keep up the good times with your friends—it’s how I survive in my house of all men! hah! The alpacas looked awesome and I hope you found yarn for the not-so-together bear! Must go see what I can do on the Simpson’s deal.

    I’m so glad you had a good time.

  18. Happy to hear a good time was had by all. You deserve it! Despite being a Scorpio, I’m not sure I’d like to run into a real live scorpion.
