the weekend to beat all weekends

this weekend may have been the best weekend of my life.

i know that i'm prone to exaggeration, but i seriously had one of the best weekends i've ever had.

i got to spend a good chunk of it with camilla, jenny, and stacey. we had ourselves a little blogger slumber party at the hotel maya in long beach.

did we sleep?

NOT A WINK.

we stayed up all night talking and laughing about everything under the sun. i feel like i've found "my people." i haven't connected with people in this way in a long time. we all just clicked. would you think i'm really super duper cheesy if i said that it was almost kinda magical? 'cause it really was.

we all understood each other's passion, sensitivity, jealousy, insecurity, motivation, and need for inspiration. i was able to be really open with them about A LOT of things - body image, marriage, family, PMS, hopes and dreams, my values, and my love of shopping.

it was actually kind of a life changing weekend. we were all able to share a lot of personal stuff and offer support to each other. it was really liberating to discuss blogging and the role it plays in my life with them because they actually understand what i'm talking about! do you have any good friends in the blogging world? isn't it awesome to have people who understand this part of your world?

i love each of these girls with my whole heart, and i feel so incredibly blessed to call them my friends.

now we just need to figure out a way for us to all live in the same corner of the world so we can share more good old fashioned girl time.

p.s. i apologize to all of my twitter friends. i've probably been annoying you with all my tweeting to these three!
