Painting Class

This was one of my Living Social deals I have been collecting lately. :) Bryn emailed some people about the half off painting class, and Stephanie, Jandee and I wanted to join in! I may not be an artist, but I thought it was really fun and is a great idea for a girls night out. I don't really know what to do with picture now, but I am still glad I did it!

3rd Annual Gainesville Girls Weekend!

I always forget what order Picasa pulls up the pictures...I don't know why, because it was exactly in the order I picked them in...I thought it went last to first. Oh well...I started out on the right "foot" after all. :)

We started off the weekend at Outback and were thrilled with one of the host's who dabbled in photography...I think he did a great job of this group shot!

The thirty something group was smaller this year...is it getting less cool to do these things in our old age? I don't think so.

The 20 somethings wanted their photo to help us remember the scare our trip started out with. Rebecca and I arrived at the hotel first because Bryant is in Jacksonville, and she took the kids to him (all of our kids, by the way...he watched all of them for the weekend...I am a jerk of a friend, but the Whitings are THE NICEST people ever. Also, Lindsay and Courtney helped me out with Marik because we couldn't fit all the kids in one car...again, I am a jerk, but thanks wonderful friends!) Anyway, when we got to the hotel Emily called Rebecca and said that Bree had mooned the other car of girls and they were offended and said if that was how the weekend was going to go down, they were going home. We freaked out...my heart was racing and I felt sick to my stomach. We were frantically calling the girls in the offended :) car, and couldn't reach them. I finally got a hold of Irene, and she played it up pretty well for a bit, then started laughing and felt bad that I was feeling so terrible, so told me they made it up...they hadn't even travelled together...plus, Bree was driving, so that would have made a moon difficult, but we didn't think of that. Don't worry, we slimed all the toilet seats with shampoo. I felt pretty bad when Cynthia and Keri...innocent bystanders were the first to use the bathrooms.

Rebecca and I came up with some prizes, and I won one of the ones I brought, but I was glad because it was pretty lame.

The hotel was great, we all had such a good time together, it was a perfect beach day Saturday, and we discovered that the "South Beach Grille" on crescent beach, while unsightly, is really good. Thanks for the laughs, girls!
