This One's For the Girls

Girls nights are essential.

There is nothing like getting together with a group of women to talk about life and to listen and support each other in their woe's and triumphs.

Today was a day of visiting my new Visiting Teachies (I know it's the end of the month, but I was so glad I was able to meet them and visit) and then I went and spent some time with some great girls from my singles ward. I was feeling a bit like staying at home and taking it easy, but felt like it was something I ought to do....and I am SO grateful I did!

Originally we were going for the main purpose of watching Ella Enchanted. However, the fun started even before I arrived.

Christy Nielson and I decided to try to find our way to Amy's house and we thought we were doing a good job at it considering the freshly fallen snow and slippery roads. However, after a doorbell ring, a knock on the door, and another doorbell ring, we found out that we were at the wrong townhouse and laughing at ourselves we went on our way to the correct house.

So about six hours later and no movie we all decided the night was an eventful night of talking and sharing the intimate details that come with lives full of up's and down's.

With stories full of romance, love, laughter, heartbreak, and healing who needs a chick flick anyway?

I came away filling fulfilled and grateful for all of the experiences I have had and for the friendships that come when we least expect it.

Life. Experiences. Growth. Every moment is a blessing.
