This past weekend Susan and I traveled up to Kansas City to spend the weekend in the Comfort Suites with Julie, June, and Elisa. We looked forward to this for quite some time and their husbands are so good to let them get away for that time.
We love to talk and catch up on everything that has been going on with each other and then we get to do a lot of shopping. That has never been something I particularly enjoy but I enjoy being with them so that made it more fun. We started off by going to Target to get some snacks for the room. We also enjoy eating at the Olive Garden where we have to keep asking for the next bowl of salad because one bowl was not big enough for 5 of us.(this year we only went through 3 and last time it was 5 so we are doing better:) We also enjoyed the Texas roadhouse and then one evening went out late for chips and salsa which we are pretty good at inhaling as well.
It was a very cold day on Saturday and light blowing snow throughout the day. After shopping most of the day, we went back to the hotel and the girls decided they would go to the hot tub. I didn't think that would do anything for all the eating we were doing so I decided to go exercise and ran on the treadmill.
Later that night when we came out of the restaurant after having chips and salsa, it was blizzard like conditions and snow was starting to accumulate. Sunday noon came entirely too quickly when we needed to part ways and head back to our homes. Julie's car was dead when we went to leave to she and Elisa did a super & quick job of jumping it after some instructions from Phil. I wanted to get a picture because they looked like pros doing it but it was just to cold and they were to quick so we didn't get the camera out soon enough.
We had a great time and God gave Rog & I four wonderful daughters for which I am very thankful. Thank you girls for the time you shared with me and I want you to know how much I love each of you. You are wonderful wives and mommies.
God will give you many more years. We love you!
