Weekend With The Girls!

This past weekend I headed to Charleston with my best friends from high school. Lauren, Kim, Amanda, and Marianne. I'm so excited that we have been able to maintain our friendship through so many years. 2 of the girls in the group are moms and it was so cute to hear them talk about what size clothes their girls are in, how and when they started potty training, cute things the kids say, etc. My how times have changed!
The first night down there, Lauren and I didn't arrive until after 10. As soon as we unloaded the car, off we went to a bar down the street. I think we were finally "encouraged" to leave the bar sometime after 1am! Can you believe we were up that late? I thought those nights were long gone. The next day we had plans to head to the beach, but mother nature had her own plans. The weather was a little too chilly and too windy to sit on the beach. I ventured off to do my own thing and stroll the market. Of course for those of you that know me you won't find it surprising that I went back to the hotel room and took a nap. Since our reservation for dinner wasn't until 9:30, we all were able to relax a bit. At about 8 we started getting ready. You should have seen the cute outfits they had. Which reminds me...I have got to lose weight for this wedding. As of now, I cannot breathe in my dress so by January, my goal is to at least be able to do that. Just kidding, it's not that bad, but I do need to shed a few lbs! Maybe if I update my progress on the blog, I'll be more encouraged to be more consistant with the workout plan. So, back to the story. We ate at a great restaurant, Coast. DELICIOUS! Saturday wasn't a late night. By the time we got back to the hotel after eating, it was already 11:30 so off to bed we went. After leaving Charleston we stopped for one last bite to eat together at Rush's in West Columbia. It was packed, but definitely worth the wait in line. I'm so lucky to have such fun and cute girlfriends that still like to have a good time! :-) Oh yeah, while I was in Charleston I saw a guy I work with from Augusta and a girl I used to babysit in Cedar Grove. I love seeing familiar faces out of town.
Once I got home from Charleston, Chris had dinner cooking...pork, green beans, and velveeta shells & cheese. He actually already had a load of clothes washed and folded. Although he doesn't fold the clothes perfect, it sure is precious to see his attempt! What a great catch!
I have been so bad about updating pictures on the blog. I'll try to add some soon because I always love looking at pictures from other friends blogs.
