Nothing like visiting Bill Clinton’s hometown with your girlfriends who despise the old scumbag! Of course, we weren’t there for Bill, and at this point we all decided a Bill is better than ANY Obama, so we took the trip anyway! This was the most excited I had been in a long time. As I have mentioned in my blog before, me and the girls always take a trip together every year, so this year we decided on Hot Springs. Sure, it was different than the usual Mexican cruise we take, but it was driving distance, in everyone’s price range, and it was a chance to relax and catch up on the year’s life-lessons we had learned! The first day, we had facials and pedicures, a Japanse dinner, and we talked and played board games in the condo.
The second day was a little more eventful… we had mineral baths and massages, lunch, and then headed back to the condo around 3:00. About this time, the wine was cracked open, and about 8:00 time, we all began to whine… When you get a group of close girlfriends together who tell each other everything, wine can often lead to WHINE! This was in a good way though, we were all border-line drunk talking about life and where it had lead us. Each one of us talked about our happiness and struggles, and that lead to a lot of tears and laughter. Some more tears than others, but we did the best we could to talk each other through any problems… that’s what we do, and that’s why we are all still so close.
I always knew I had a close group of girlfriends, but after this trip I never realized how rare and special our friendship is. We all love each other dearly and want to continue to be a part of each other’s lives for years to come no matter how near or far we are from each other. Many friends lose touch after college, but I am certain that we will be taking our yearly trips when we are 80 years old!!! I hope for every woman to have a group of girlfriends like this - There’s nothing better!
