Moms Gone Wild
Last weekend, nine of my college friends gathered for a reunion in Hilton Head, South Carolina. This was the spot of two bacchanalian college Spring Breaks, so it was particuarly interesting to return as wives and moms, now in our mid-thirties (or "racing towards 40" as Sara said).Some of these friends I hadn't seen since they were shaking it to "Bootylicious" at our wedding.
It took all of about 30 seconds to return to the pace and banter we enjoyed as college students. If you closed your eyes, you might think that we weren't in Lisa's parents' palatial home, which they graciously lent us for the weekend (thanks, Fred and Sandy!), but rather back in our dilapidated Athens, Ohio rental, circa 1992. The noise level was at eleven most of the weekend, and that's just the way we like it. We're so lucky to have this wonderful group of women to continue to grow up and old with.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to send out mad love to Daddy Shawn who took Finn solo for the second time this month so I could get away for this reunion. When I returned home, there was evidence of a great bonding boys' time--A B Cs written in sidewalk chalk outside, balls littering the backyard, and lots of delicious wrappers in the garbage. While I had a great time with my girls, it's even better to return home to my boys!
