I have this wonderful friend who lives in St Louis, Mo and ever since I have moved to Texas we have been planning on her coming to visit and every time we would plan something would come up and she couldn't come.. Now remember she is a wife and a Mommy to 4 sweet kids so she is usually running non-stop.. Well she finally got to the place where I was last October and told her hubby ok enough.. I need a break.. I need "ME TIME".. So her hubby was as sweet as mine and said GO!! She flew in on Monday afternoon and stayed all week, she did not have to go back til Friday afternoon... We had the best time and just enjoyed hanging out and catching up and laughing and shopping and eating, it was so awesome! I enjoyed spending time with her and I am so glad that it finally worked out for her that she got to come...I want to Thank my sweet hubby for letting me have my girl time when she was here... He did everything, picked the boys up after school, did homework with them and studied for final exams with them and fed them dinner each night... I did not cook one time when she was here:) I promise all of you I have the BEST husband in the whole wide world~~ Thanks babe! Love you bunches!! We had such a fun time, on Monday night we had dinner with Chuck and the boys and of course we had to take her to one of our favorite Mexican Restaurants where she got to experience my favorite drink of all times"Sangrarita"" mmmmmmm:) and then on Tuesday we went and had lunch and shopped all day in Old Town Spring if you have never been there, you so need to put it on your list to do, it is a old town that has all kinds of boutiques with home accessories, clothes, shoes, jewelry, bling bling you name it! It is just so much fun~and then we went out to dinner with Evelyn and Adri, she knew them when they lived in St Louis too so it was nice for her to catch up with them... On Wednesday we went to Market Street and shopped all day and then went to Sam Moons and Charming Charlies where we had a blast shopping and finding lots of fun stuff:) we tried on hats and sunglasses and laughed and laughed, the best part was when I tried wigs on.. I was trying to be so serious so the lady would think I was truly going to buy a wig and Sharon was about to lose it, she could not even look at me without cracking up... anyway we had a great time and laughed and laughed and laughed.. In the last store before dinner they were playing some very odd sexual sounding music and we thought we were gonna die I seriously don't think I have ever laughed that hard....and by the way we searched and searched for that song but never found it....lol!!we went and met Chuck and Peyt for dinner and then continued shopping some more so much more that I bought a pair of house shoes and continued shopping in them.. I am telling you we were not going to waste one second...On Thursday I lead a bible study and we use to do one for years together and so she went with me and met my new friends.. She loved all of them and they loved her too, I think it made her realize how much she missed bible study so I hope that it put a spark in her to find another one and join... We all went to lunch after study and it was just so neat to see my new friends embrace her and love her like they had known her for years.. I love how God just blesses me with such sweet friends...On Thursday night she got to go and play Bunco with me and meet that fun group of friends.. It was just like the other group, they all loved her and treated her like they had known her all along:) On Friday we got up and went back to all the shops that she had seen things at and did not buy but bought them before she had to leave:) we went back to Sam Moon and Old town Spring and she got some adorable things as did I!:) and then it was off to the airport with a tearful goodbye! I sure do love when my friends come to visit me but it is so hard to say goodbye, just knowing that we can not do this everyday like we use to but I am so blessed with the new friends that God has put in my life!! I am so glad she came and I cant wait for her to come back.. I miss her so much already!! She is the kind of friend who I know will be in my life forever! She has a heart like no other and I love the quality in her that she finds the good in everybody before she finds the bad and she never has a bad thing to say about anybody.. I love that and wish I had that quality!! I am gonna work on that:) Again, I am so thankful that God has put such special friends in my life! I am so blessed and I love you so much!!
