This past weekend, some of my good friends and coworkers had a girl's night. We took a long walk in the fading afternoon light...
...and watched a gorgeous sunset.
We laughed....and cried. We watched a long, wonderful movie, and did each other's nails.
Of course, we ate...and ate. :) Tiramisu, chocolate covered peanuts (hand delivered from North Carolina), and the Pioneer Woman's amazing cinnamon rolls.
(Umm...we didn't eat all of those...LOL...though we could have...had we not thought better of it....
The recipe in her cookbook makes enough to feed a small army).

And throughout all of our fun girl-time, I was thinking.... "Why is it that sometimes it takes the idea of leaving someone or something to make us realize how much we value that part of our life?" I'll be leaving the office I've been working at for over 2 years soon now...God is clearly moving me on, and I'm excited about what He's doing. But some of these women...my coworkers...have grown to be very close friends and sisters in Christ. I'm going to miss seeing them every day...and spending the weekend together made me realize how truly blessed I've been with the people God's put in my life.

So, all of that to say...I've been thinking that I need to stop more often and look around.
And enjoy each moment to the fullest.
