lake placid palooza {a peek}

after girlfriends for dayzzz, multiple flights, layovers and sprinting to make my gates, i'm home.

it was a comfort to know that my darling, generous husband had things under control here. 

patrick and elijah had a blast together and i'm loving hearing all about their fun!

i'm still processing my fun, and weeping a little that it's over so soon.

{heather, stephanie, sarah, esther, carina, kara, jami and danielle}

my time with these gorgeous friends blessed me in ways i didn't expect.

i was sick most of the time, but i barely stopped smiling and carrying on long enough to notice!

i love them so much.

sharing meals and stories with each other, 

sight-seeing, coffee drinking, dessert overdosing, 

and so much laughter. so. much. laughing.

we knew the cabin we rented would be decent, but we didn't know it would be incredible!

massive and beautiful, clean and perfect for us rowdy girlfriends to play in!

the views are still fresh in my mind. such a change from my flat north dakota home.

what a blessing!

i'm so grateful i was able to spend time away and be refreshed.

saying goodbye was difficult for me, 

so looking forward to the next time!

i hope to share more soon, but i'm still sick and playing catch up around here. 

how about tell me what you have been up to?
