Always Soothing to the Soul

It's always so soothing to my soul to be with good girlfriends from years gone by. Over the last few years several friends and I have gotten together a couple of times of year just to reconnect and BE together. Many of these friends have some kind of tie to IU where I was a student and on staff. This last week I headed to Batesville and dropped the kiddos off at my parents and made my way to Bloomington to spend the night for one of these get togethers. I was so bummed I forgot my camera so the only pics I have scanned in the computer are from years ago but thought you might get a kick out of it especially the one below:)
This is a picture from the summer of 1994 where I met my good friend Deb on a summer missions project. She is on the far left and yep that's me next to her both wearing the teal hats:)

This is another good friend, Sadee, and we met at IU and were roommates for several years before I married Matt. She was back in Bloomington this last week for a wedding so it was a great reason to have a girls night. These are just two of the girls I was able to see and catch up with last week and it was well worth the trip over. When asked what we did I said we ordered Chinese food in and just talked the whole night....really? Yep, just like old times. I'm so thankful to Matt who always encourages me to do whatever it takes to go and take the time to stay connected! So refreshing!Thanks girls for a fun night and can't wait til the next one!
