girls night out

Two weekends ago, Mandy, Marianne, Melissa, Lizzie, and myself all showed up on Lauren's doorstep with food and balloons. She didn't know anyone beside Liz was coming, and boy was she surprised. 

Lauren graduated from the U in Child Life, and recently got her dream job being a Child Life Specialist at Primary Children's Hospital. A very coveted position. So we wanted to celebrate her!

It was a long over GNO. We spent hours sitting at her kitchen table, snacking and talking about anything and everything. When you have known each other for 10 years, it isn't hard to converse for hours on end. Liz had plans of us watching a movie, but that didn't even happen because we didn't stop talking. Until about 1 AM. I haven't been up that late in a long time, but I didn't even realize how late it was because I was seriously having so much fun. Love these girls so much! 

Of course when I'm gone, and with Mandy, Daniel and John end of together. I came home and this is what I found.
 Apparently, they had gone to the Albertson's and bought every kind of Root Bear that you can buy, and tried them all. Well, not all. As many as they could. John said he kind of felt bad, because they were walking into our house with all of these bottles in bags while our neighbor was hosting an AA meeting. He said to me, "They don't know it's Root Beer!"
