: Girls will be girls :

I love my gal pals.  They are one of the reasons I call Indiana 'home.'  We see each other all the time, and sometimes it just gets plain goofy.

Like when we try to re-create awkward family photos...

and more awkward family photos...

They are simply the best, and have been like family to me while my own is hundreds of miles away.

and just because...

We thought it would be fun to have a girls-only weekend getaway.

So we drove up north and spent a couple days downtown.

Pedicures, manicures, facials... take your pick!

Cranberry juice in the relaxation room?  Yes please.

:dinner at Champs:

(with a follow-up at Cold Stone)

:us crazies at the hotel:

It was fun celebrating Rachael's birthday, too!  She was cute to strut her gifts for us:)

:shopped 'til we dropped... literally:

 Our awesome husband's joined us for sushi to finish up the weekend:)

Seriously a blast of a get-away.

Love 'em.
