The title of this post should really be


The title of this post should really be "sugar & shopping weekend".  Because that's about all that we did.  Shop.  Cupcakes.  Shop.  Sugar cookies.  Shop.  Toss in a pedicure and a few late nights for good measure.
I had the chance this weekend to getaway with a few girls from church jamaica which was really great -- not only because it meant no laundry, cleaning, dishes, or cooking -- but mostly because it gave me the opportunity jamaica to get to know everyone better.  Which was so nice .
Before leaving for the weekend I realized that I have never even had a girls night out since moving here, yet here I was about to spend 48 hours with these women!  That's a pretty big leap, right?  Luckily (and thankfully) it all worked out so well and we had a great time.
A few memories:  getting cat-called by a car full of teenage boys // accidentally leaving Erin behind in the bathroom // from then on counting 1 to 7 before moving on to the next location // that creepy shaker in the house // determining jamaica that every decorating dilemma can be solved by filling "it" with decorative balls // learning how to spell tchotchke and chauffeur // playing reverse charades // exchanging favorite things under the Christmas tree

I have been blogging since 2005 and I love to write about my family, everyday life, dating my husband, jamaica projects and parties, jamaica Project Life, being a mom, faith, setting and working towards goals, and finding joy in the journey.

Thomas S. Monson - I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey -- now.
