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.

  3. It looks like you had an amazing time. Finding a great connection with other people is one of the best experiences in the whole world. I don't have blogging friends (yet) but I imagine it would be a great connector!

  14. I'm so jealous! This looks like so much fun. I only "know" you and Stacey and wished all of my favorite bloggers lived in the same state so we could have blogger parties.

  16. awww. this is the sweetest post. I know exactly what you mean. I feel like "real life" friends just don't understand the blogging world sometimes. I'm so thankful for the people I have met in the blogosphere, and I would love to come see you one of these days. Maybe we could photograph you and Levi one day for a "faux" engagement shoot.

    muah!
