Back in 2000, as our college years wrapped up, my 3 best college friends/roommates/sorority sisters and I all promised to get back together as often as we could. Of course we all went separate ways - took jobs after college, moved to different states, got married, started families. Over the years we have gotten together more than a few times - sometimes just 2 or 3 of us, sometimes all! With husbands and kids, we are now a group of 20! But we have always maintained that when we all turn 40, we were determined to get just the 4 of us back together, just like the old times. This past weekend, we did just that. We all headed down to Scottsdale for a weekend of catching up! It was amazing. Of course the scenery was beautiful - warm sunshine in the scenic desert - but most of all I just cherished the time to catch up with each of my dear friends, without the interruption of sweet little ones that need naps, meals, bedtimes, etc. We caught up over coffee, explored Old Town Scottsdale, did some fun shopping, had some amazing dinners, hiked up Camelback Mountain, walked through the cactus gardens, enjoyed a little spa time, and raised a glass or two to our wonderful friendship. So grateful for these 3 lifelong friends.
