Saint Louis Trip



For my birthday this year, I told Nathan that I would really like a weekend away. So when I received the mailer for Time Out For Women and saw that it was coming to Saint Louis, I called my mom to see if she and my sisters could meet me there. Mom and Dad did all the work and even financed the operation so that we could all get together for the weekend. (Thanks Mom and Dad!) My sisters Joanna and Heather drove with my parents from Cincinnati and Lindsay flew in from Jacksonville Florida with her 3 month old baby Lauryn. Can I just say how fun it was to be together with just the girls? No husbands or kids to worry about...just girl time! I haven't ever driven very far by myself, but the 5 hour drive to Saint Louis was actually relaxing for me. It's just nice to enjoy some peace and quiet once in a while.

Do all the women in your family have the same fabulous smile or what? I'm not sure if I'm more jealous of that or the weekend away.
