I am participating in Throwback Thursday, started by the gals over at Pinks and Blues Girls. It is fun to look back!
This post is about my girlfriends but I could not resist including a picture of DadOf3 and me on our wedding day. That was 7 years ago! Time flies!
One week from today I am heading to Iowa!
Once a year or so my good friends and I get together for something we have dubbed Girls Gone Wild. This is actually tongue in cheek because, we are not all that wild anymore. We have gone to New York City, San Antonio, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Des Moines. This year we are heading for a cabin in Minnesota that belongs to EE's parents. I am really looking forward to it! The cabin is by a lake. There is going to be plenty of time to jet ski, take walks, and chat! I am mostly looking forward to catching up.
<==My sister and me.
It is hard for me to be away from my family, but the long weekend is good for my soul, my attitude, and my outlook on life. These gals have been with me through thick and thin. They know me better than I know myself sometimes. I get homesick a lot. We have been down here for 6 1/2 years so you would think that I would be used to it, but I still miss these women!
<==EE and me! We have been friends since college!
<==CP saved the day! On our wedding day, the unity candle would not light when CP tried it as we were getting dressed. I am ever grateful that she had the foresight to try the candle before the wedding and that she drove around and found a new tea light for us!
<==CS is one of my oldest friends! We met in 8th grade and were friends all through high school. She is a veterinarian now with her own practice!
<==WT and I met in college too. She has been one of my best role models. "Attitude!"
<==JW - I could not have asked for a better sister in law!
I am posting some pictures from my wedding for Throwback Thursday. Some of these gals will be in Minnesota next week and some will not. I miss them all! They are all a big part of my life even if we do not get together as often as I would like!

I have my first Throwback up! Please excuse the poor picture quality! Yours is great! Good for you getting away with the girls!!
Great pic!! Your dress is really pretty. I have lost the closeness of my HS friends. I miss them a lot. We still talk when we run into each other at Wal-Mart and stuff but it just isn't the same, our lives have taken different paths. Sound like you week will be lots of fun.
MorningStar: Thanks for the comment! I loved your throwback Thursday post! That is so much fun! :)
Shana: Thanks for your comment! I have lost some formerly close friends too. That is never easy. I try to keep in touch at least once a year with a Christmas card whether they like it or not! Ha! :)
