girls beach trip...

although the weather looked like THIS the entire trip... we still had a wonderful time at the beach! seriously, i have NEVER seen fog 24/7 at the beach. until this trip. it was the wierdest thing. no sun, no blue skies. just a gray foggy overcastness all day long. but it's true that you still get sun when it's overcast, b/c i'm looking all nice and tan... if i do say so myself! ;o) 

6 girls... no kids, no husbands, no work, no house to clean, no laundry to fold... enough said!

yep. we had it made! stayed in a condo that was ridiculously awesome. went out to eat each nite. below we were at lulu's... my first time to eat there. loved it! fun environment, good band, tasty food, great friends!

then we went to flora-bama... another first for me. can't say the band was that great (if you'd even call them that...) but they were funny. in a "you can't help but laugh and wonder did they really just say what i thought they said" kind of way. :) all of us, esp libby and i, had way too much fun... taking pics of our stamped hands, fb statuses that read "get.off.the.table.jamie." and trying to pee in the pitch black porta-potties. seriously... wish i would have know they didn't have real bathrooms there. wow. this one lady was in this white frilly sundress and she musta had a little too much to drink. (shocker.) she went in and came out of every porta potty saying there was too much pee (that's the rated g version) on the seats. so a nearby gentleman  drunk kindly offered to hold her skirt for her while she squatted. REALLY?!? yes, true story. again. wow. :) that's a whole new world to me.

so if you are new here, libby and i kinda like ourselves :o) and we like to take pics of ourselves... i mean, you can never have enough. and you know that out of all the millions of pics, you will like at least one of them :) i love this girl, and i'm so thankful we got to celebrate her birthday at the beach! you are beautiful, sweet, funny, an awesome friend, crazy, and semi corruptive a great influence on me. and i love you for it! :o) i will always shine the light for you, even in the ... (you know the rest. ha!)

ahhhhh. the.best.thing.ever.

saturday nite we went to eat at sea-n-suds... my all time fav! a trip to the beach is not complete until you've had fried crab claws from there! (btw, i hate seafood. with the exception of fried crab claws and fried popcorn shrimp. and i mean itty bitty popcorn shrimp, where basically you can only taste the batter and the ketchup.) i know, i'm wierd. anywho... sea-n-suds for dinner, and dippin dots for dessert! yummy!

wendi, tina, shannon, bethany, and libby... i had SUCH a great time with you awesome girls. i will never forget hello monkey lover, miss pt, what had happened was, squirrly and some change, get back in my pocket little girl, kountry with a k, and many other memories that might be better left unsaid. haha!

getting souveniers for the kiddos... and of course lib and i stopped to model some rockin kj-52 shades! ;o)

more foggy weather... i'm telling you, it was crazy! but pretty in a cloudy kinda way! :) our condo was right on the intercoastal waterway... the back patio opened up to the boat dock. so pretty, foggy or not!!

 ok i have to share this pic with you... and the story that goes with it. the fat dude beside us caught a baby shark. ummm can i just say those things don't stay babies for long! anywho. he threw the shark back in the water... and then his girl friend straddles him and he starts yelling "who's your daddy? who's your daddy?" true story folks, as libby said, we couldn't make this up. guess he'd had a few too many drinks as well.

and one more of me and libby for the road... this is our sorority pose! gotta love it! :)

seriously... we had a wonderful time! i'm so thankful for the chance we had to get away from it all. i'd be lying if i said there was a big part of me that didn't wanna come home for another week or so. :) but speaking of home and things i'm thankful for, i'm also SO.VERY.THANKFUL. for my sweet husband... he kept the boys all weekend and allowed me to go on this trip with the girls. of course by sunday the boys (namely lucas) were really missing mama and a little grumpier than normal, but he said they were good for the most part! he took them shopping, to play at the park, out to eat... i mean, what an awesome daddy!! :) can't wait til our next girls trip, b/c oh yes, there will be another one. i'm thinkin' a spring and fall trip is a must! :)
