Girls ONLY Weekend 2010

I am 37 years old and have NEVER had a girls ONLY weekend until last weekend. Us girls talked and talked about having one for a long time and Finally did it!!!  We rented a cabin in Strawberry Arizona. Took off Friday after work and headed up north to the cool pines. 

 ( WARNING..MASSIVE PIC OVERLOAD)

Here we are leaving Heidi,Amy,MaryJo,Me,Danielle my sister

 Here is the car loaded up! Hubby was laughing saying Your only going for the weekend right? 

This was the deck out back. We spent ALOT of time here talking and enjoying the cool weather

This is my sister Danielle and me. We are 10 years apart and I LOVE her so much!

Snacks anyone! I swear we took way too much food!

This is my friend MaryJo and I enjoying the rockers..it was so relaxing

We played lots of games while there. This was "the board" haha

Amy had a cake make with all our pictures on it..she is so amazing!!

We even got to feed Javalena in the morning..they came out of the woods and stared up at the deck til we gave them left over biscuts lol

I had such a blast! I can not wait til next year to do this all over again!!!!

She passed away WAY too young...

I have a childhood friend that I have been searching for online now for a few years. We had lost touch about 5 years ago. I got an email a few weeks ago from her daughter.

On September 22nd...my life long childghood friend passed away at the age of 37 from Breast Cancer! I was told she fought for a little over a year!

I was and am so numb. How can this be.She has 2 daughters that are 16 and 18. She has 2 grandbabies. 

I have NEVER known anyone who has died of Breast Cancer. 

Crystal you will be missed..love you so much! 

This pink Ribbon is for you Crystal!
