So let me begin by saying I had the best week ever. And it wouldn't have been the perfect week without my friends there with me. For those of you that couldn't make it, you were truly missed. But on the bright side, we plan to do this again next year.I was so relaxed all week; not a care in the world. Most of the week was very laid back. Coffee in the morning, sitting on the porch, overlooking the lake, listening to the birds chirp and enjoying the perfect surroundings. Evenings were spent watching the sun go down, listening to music and chatting with friends about everything under the sun. Some serious converstations were had about love and loss but mainly just being silly and goofy. We also had the pleasure of viewing many YouTube videos that made me laugh so hard I thought I'd die. I found a new appreciation for Jimmy Kimmel and his Unnecessary Censorship segments, Sesame Street and also a new appreciation for Leigh as she put her game face on, swallowed her fear and attempted the murder of Asshole the Snake...
...I even found something inside myself that I had lost for a while. Determination! I've been wanting to try wakeboarding but after failing at skiing I just didn't think I could do it. I figured I'd try it and after a few attempts I'd give up like I always do when things are hard and I get fustrated. But Husband gave me a pep talk and before you know it, I was up and having the time of my life. Husband was so proud; and seeing that made me feel accomplished. I haven't felt that in such a long time. I hadn't felt self pride in such a long time.
The weather was beautiful. This is my heaven. If someone asked me what I thought heaven was like, I'd describe the week I just had... a boat, dear friends and cold beer...
...and although the week was filled with perfect, peaceful tranquility, it didn't lack in shennanigans. As promised, below are some of these said moments:
Beer Pong
After several rounds of Beer Pong
Spanky so relaxed she fell asleep. Ofcourse we teased she passed out so thats why its in this section of photos and because it was pretty darn funny.

My HusbandThank you Dustin, Leigh, Jeff, Linds, Tawni and Spanky for celebrating with me as I enter into this new decade of my life. It has started off fantastic and I hope to have many more celebrations with you all. And for those who couldn't be there, I promise there will be more memories to make.
xo,
M
