.. or Life is Beautiful! 

I've just spent the weekend with 4 pretty amazing girls. The 5 of us met when we attended Illinois College and lived on the same floor. We created a HUGE bond in the year we lived together which brings us to meeting once a year for Jen's annual birthday party the first weekend of December.  

What a face ...

Now, I know it's not December, but Jen buying a house prompted us to reunite in May. This also just so happened to be Courtney's birthday weekend, so we were still able to celebrate a birthday.   These are the type of friends that you could go forever without talking, but once you get together it's like you never missed a beat. The girls that are there for you through everything, and they were all there to pick me up after tragically losing Robert. In fact, they were there to see the effects of Robert drinking a fifth and a half of Jack during our 2011 annual December get-together. Remarkably, they still came back! 

Much better!

During our visit, we took a walk through the Illinois College campus to relive some of our memories there. I only attended 2 years there, but they were 2 fantastic years meeting life long friends!   

The famous swing on the IC campus

Two nights of laughing, talking, drinking, playing Mad Gab and Dirty Minds, karaoke on the Wii, and just spending quality time with this group of girls is the therapy to fix anything going on in life. It's amazing how in two nights, you can just forget about the rest of the world and, simply, focus on enjoying this time together.

Peanut was also able to join in on the fun. Besides tormenting Jen's poor dog, I think he may have had a good time ... 

Lazy Sunday Morning

 I love these girls to the moon and back and look forward to our next reunion!
