Weekend Getaway

this weekend was my "bachelorette party", which can mean many different things. for us (working moms, working people, wedding planning people) it meant a lot of relaxing and a lot of sleeping. 
like: 
"hey what do you want to do after that nap we just took?" 
"nap?" 
"sweet".

this was the house. perfect in all its ways and breezy at all the right times. 

clearly beachy and screaming "play with me". you move that little foot rest/coffee table thing and you have yourself a nice dance floor. tested. 

see that little iHome in the corner? KEY PLAYER of the weekend. 

early morning breakfast. all things yummy and flavorful.

excuse me, but did you ask for a party in a cup?

anna primping. knew this girl before i knew the lord. 

gahhhh if you only KNEW how much this photo captures this girl in a nutshell.
gheesh i was to squish her face and kiss her cheek. 

my m.o.h.
the bomb. my roommate. best friend. long-lost (then found) sister. ptl for her.

i need to work on picking up my camera more often in stead of my iphone. so mad at myself for not getting more pictures.
anywho. we went out. ate. napped. danced. talked. laughed. drank.
it was so great. these girls have blessed me immensely and all for very different reasons. some of them i've known for a long time, some i met because they messaged me on facebook and wanted me to be their friend, some prayed and told me the lord told them i should live with them, some are friends because we are so different that we have so much to offer the other.

i have never lived any place other then jax. i have never had to move to another place and start a friend group over. i know it'll be challenging, but i believe that authenticity and a little elbow grease will help me find another group of girls that i can do life with. learning how to engage in long distance relationships will be my next big hurdle.

in the meantime, i have a few short weeks left. bittersweet is the perfect word to describe what i'm going through. on top of figuring out what it's like to be married, i'll be finding new friends, new work, a new home, and a new church.

new. new. new.

he makes all things new.
