I spent last night with a group of those good women I mentioned in my last post. We all met in 1995 when my husband and I, along with our first two children, then ages 3 and 3 months, moved to Phoenix and into the then Cholla Ward. We were quickly pulled in by a sister in the ward who began to introduce us to a band of friends that would, over the coming years, become our extended family. To say I love these women would be an understatement -- they're AMAZING!!! (And in all honesty their husbands are pretty rockin' too)
The cool thing about last night is that the planning of it started because my BFF and I wanted to get together with the daughters of these friends. See, we watched these girls grow up. I was one of their Young Women leaders. Our families went on ward campouts together, had family nights together, and got together to hang out, just because. And as these girls have gotten older and become adults they've moved beyond being the daughters of friends, to being friends.
So last night we had two generations of women gathered together to hang out for some strictly girl time. We talked, we ate, and we laughed ALOT!! Some of us even sang and danced!! (Ofcourse it's hard NOT to when you're watching Mama Mia!! Who can sit still when ABBA is playing?!) It was FABULOUS!!! I wish we could do it more often!! .....And I wish one of us had thought to get a picture!
So,..... Sarah, Melissa, Brittiny, Dani, Peri, Alecia, Katelyn, Amanda, Denene, Elaine, Kathy, Pam & Rhonda......thanks for a GREAT night!!!! Joleen & Katelyn...so sorry you weren't able to be with us. I'll love ya all forever!
