I am so very thankful to be blessed by so many girlfriends in my life! There are the "Game-Night" girls, the "Elite" girls, the "South Carolina" girls, & a whole lot of girlfriends that fall into that "other" category that are just as special! When I am able to get together with any of these ladies it is always sure to be a great time full of hugs, catching up, laughs & usually an alcoholic beverage - or two!
Since Mason came along, time spent with my girlfriends doesn't happen as often as it once did but we always make a point to try & all get together when time allows! It has been a long time since the entire group of "Elite" girlfriends were last seen together - 15 months to be exact - when we all gathered in Destin, FL!
My girlfriend Deanna (pictured above) lives in Austin, TX & just so happened to be visiting family in KC this week! So all the girls made it a point to get together for dinner this past weekend at The Cheesecake Factory to catch up & so that Deanna could meet "Destin Babies #1 & #2". Our girlfriend Kari lives in Chicago with Destin Baby #3 so unfortunately she wasn't able to be there but this is as close to the entire group as it gets...babies included!
We spent the evening passing babies around, eating a dee-lish meal, enjoying a cocktail...for others it was several cocktails :) catching up & there was so much laughter. When you get these girls together there is a lot of craziness & laughter that goes on.

There was even talk of a 2014 Destin Reunion this May which will include the babies! Looking SO forward to that!
After several fun hours with these ladies & lots of picture-taking, it was time to get home & put Mase to bed. He isn't quite the "party animal" like his mama once was so he is usually done for the night around 7:30pm.
It was SO good getting to see Deanna & my "Elite" ladies! We are looking forward to getting to see these ladies again over the Labor Day weekend when we all gather for our dear friend Deb's wedding in Colorado! Going to be good times!
The bride-2-be & Mason
