As my move date draws near, my social calendar is quickly filling up. I am trying to spend as much time with my family and friends as I can. The highlight so far has been my girls weekend away to Scandanive Spa in Blue Mountain. What I thought was going to be a day at the spa with my best friend Jennifer turned out to be a surprise weekend away with all my close girlfriends. I have known these girls for almost 20 years, our earlier friendship consisted of late nights, and sometimes early mornings in the club scene of downtown Toronto, seems so far from where we are today. Since then we have lived together, shared each others joy in new relationships, careers, engagements, weddings and children. Being with them is so very comfortable and this weekend had us feeling like we were all 20 again. Not a care in the world just a bunch of girls hanging out. We enjoyed a relaxing day together, shared an amazing dinner and then danced all night! There were a lot of laughs and also a few tears shed. It is so hard to imagine my life without these amazing women. I know that we will keep in touch through e-mail and facebook but I will miss our monthly dinners, birthday celebrations, camping trips and annual Christmas party. I can't even put into words how much their friendship means to me.
Here are a few of my favourite photos from the weekend, some are too incriminating to share so I will only post the "appropriate" ones.
Road Trip!
The hot pools.
Ready for our massages.
I had this smile on my face all weekend.
Relaxing by the fire.
Ready for a night out.
There were many of these.
As well as many blurry photos like these.
This was indeed a weekend to remember.
So awesome! I am so glad you got to do a weekend away with your closest girlfriends (who are probably like sisters to you) - I have a core group of girls who I have know for 23 years so, I totally get it! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat great pics of a fab time! I know what you mean about missing the older friends who know you, but as one who moved back to Oz just over a year ago...it will amaze you how quickly you'll get into a groove with the new friends here. Honestly, Twitter made a HUGE difference for my social network for this move! Put yourself out there authentically and it falls into place ;)
