BHI

I'm a little behind due to working from Charlotte last week and having a packed schedule. Not complaining though...had a great time with my teammates, got to see some of my Charlotte ladies and was able to do the final walk through of Kelly & Robby's new house (which means it was my last stay at their townhouse...so many memories)!!! I even got to meet little Anne Rankin who is SO CUTE!! But I had to blog about my fabulous beach weekend...

I headed to Wilmington two weekends ago for some quality time with friends. The Hines were sweet enough to pick me up from the airport and hang out for a few hours. I got to see their beautiful home, meet their cute dog and enjoy dinner on the water. I have been friends with these 2 since college and cherish their friendship! It's refreshing that we can pick up where we left off and have lots of meaningful and 'real' conversations. Love you both!

Friday morning (bright and early), we left Tara's house to catch the ferry to Bald Head Island. BHI was gorgeous and lived up to all my expectations. A family friend was nice enough let us use their house for the weekend. The house came with a mac-daddy golf cart and lots of fun bikes! Tara, Abs, Mel, little Maggie Lynne (newest West girl) and I enjoyed every minute of the weekend. We rode tandem bikes, went for walks, stayed up late talking but made sure to get our fill of the pool, beach and lots of reading. Megs grandpa passed away a few days before our trip so she wasn't able to come this year. We really missed her but made sure to text lots of pictures throughout the weekend.
For the past 10 years, we have been on an annual West Girls trip and made so many fun memories. Well, we decided in 2012 we were going to start including our husbands and children. We are going to give it a trial run next year and see how it goes.
I say it all the time, but my heart smiles when I think about these girls and our friendship over the last 15+ years.
