I'll say this though; if there is one person in the world I'd want to be twins with.. it'd be her! Some days we're pretty dang close!
Craft show weekend was definitely not one that let me down. Friday night I went to Columbia for a sleepover with my favs- the McMurrays.... and Thing 2 & 3 (Me and Heather) got on our way to pick up mom (AKA Thing 1). After... we weren't a mile down the road before Thing 1 had somehow got herself completely tangled in the seat belt....
Heather and Lisa started this tradition 4 years ago and they let me join in on the fun 3 years ago. It's seriously one of my favorite ways to get the holiday season started! Our first year together we started a notebook of things that can not be publicly discussed... but we reviewed the notebook from years prior and started our journey! Wasn't long until we finally made it.. a zillion laughs later we had managed to squeeze out of the tight parking place.. load up and start our trek!
The craft show never lets us down... we have figured it out; mostly- except for Lisa's directionally challenged self and manage to enjoy the wine tasting, and looking at the interesting crafts and sometimes gawk at the same things year after year, claiming to buy one one day....
We finally made it!
Just a few of the fun things to look at!
We had an awesome time of course.. after the craft show we checked into the hotel where there was an elaborate wedding taking place and a gamers convention... One guy even asked us if we were there for it... I'm guessing it was the matching "Thing" shirts... After some classic and hilarious people watching we ventured off for the annual Pedicure after the day of walking and some dinner where our twin status continued to be questioned....
The struggle of kid juice!
After all that we hung out and relaxed, road tripping up to Concord for some more shopping on Sunday, Starbucks and the annual visit to Ikea, after our pimento cheese and frito picnic in the car. We had a fabulous time and even though I was super late getting home I had an awesome time with two of my favorite ladies!
Don't be surprised when you get this Christmas card in the mail :)
This post is not only about the fun we had but the awesome amount of support and genuine friendship I have in Heather and her entire family. I feel like they are my own.. I am D2 of course!
I know somewhere back in this journey I told you how Heather and I met and I'm sure more than once told you how much she supports and encourages me. I'm never surprised with how much she has my back. She is one of the most genuine friends ever. I'm lucky to have someone like her. Life throws us curve balls which we often aren't sure how to handle- and I know that no matter what she will always be straight with me. She won't sugar coat for me and holds me to things that she knows I can accomplish. She's been one of my biggest supporters. If you've been following along you also know that she and Tony recently found out they're pregnant. I'm so happy for her, she will be a magnificent mom.. in fact she already is. And I can't wait for a new baby!
Tomorrow's Thanksgiving.... and I haven't had a major holiday like this since I started my weight loss journey... it will prove to be interesting I'm sure......
Stick around... more to come tomorrow!
