8 years ago, a couple of carfulls of college freshman girls headed to some lake somewhere in Georgia to spend the weekend with Betsy's Aunt Loopy. That's what she wanted for her birthday. A weekend with her friends and her aunt. Little did we know, that weekend was the start of something much bigger than a getaway. It was the start of a tradition that is still very much alive.

Over the years, our conversation have evolved from the growing pains of freshman to the growing pains of wives and mothers. The food consumption has evolved from gorging ourselves with carbs and sweets to bird-like munching and a little wine. But a few things haven't changed at all. Always pajama attire. Always no makeup. Always tears. Always late, late, late nights. And ALWAYS lots of love.

Loopy weekend is a reminder of how some things change and some things stay the same. And I am thankful for both.

Here's to Loopy Weekend in St. Lucia in 2014... :)

  1. Nothing much better than true girlfriends! I miss my gal pals & my "Loopy Like" trek-it was to the Sea Gull Motel at Myrtle Beach where we greased & baked by day & froze under the window unit by night. We laughed about everything & nothing. Who needed a guy when there was Bartle & Jaymes and Bugles. As we became more sophisticated, we upgraded to a hotel with a thermostat & sunscreen, but the confidences we shared remained the same. Now that we are miles apart and all on top of our mid-life, we find it hard to getaway "just the girls", but nothing could keep us from each other in a crisis.

    Here's to you making it to St. Lucia in 2014- even if someone has to take along a pack & play or a breast pump!
