Girls just wanna have fun

Wow this weekend has been full of girl talk, laughs, and tons of wine! Celebrating a girlfriends 25th birthday with the closest of friends is so special, and this weekend we got the opportunity to push pause on our usually crazy lives to spend with each other. It is so wonderful how time seems to stand still when catching up with the news of life and enjoying great company. I feel totally refreshed, caught up with families and of course gossip, and I love thinking of how fun it is to drink a little too much on a Saturday to help us let loose.

As for this coming work week and being away from family will be a challenge. It is difficult to go through each day before the holiday feeling alone, or like I'm going to miss that holiday feeling all together. I truly feel that the holiday season is the most wonderful time and it should last all month, not just Christmas day. I hate that I cannot spend this season with my sisters and Dom. I want to help them decorate, bake cookies to share, and enjoy a warm drink by mom and dad's fire place. I just hope that this is the last December I spend away from MY holiday cheer.

This week is all about packing and wrapping. I'll get to Moms and it will be so nice. I have so many wonderful things to look forward to the week following christmas too...it will keep my mind racing with the happiest thoughts. I'll just keeps praying and saying "someday". It'll all be worth the wait.
