We went out for Sushi...something I love but I had never gone out to a resteraunt for it. I had only had my brother-in-law's and Jillian's...which were both delicous!<br /><div><div>So anyway, we went in my sebring convertable...which made the night even more fun. Jillian doesn't think that she's ever been in a convertable before. It's hard for me to imagine never <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhX_ju_Qe8z3ZnAh4LvrJWas0GRjkIdIoCkJxazV-ZCKyb6Jn1bBqrdWG0lcf4Z70R0tLKzgORsBceugpkgo6_68iHSfG1-iOCPxl0nNChClAQjBcq8DstHZhrMg2-6gx5-NPZhtfAkw4/s1600-h/camra.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249327979502334690" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhX_ju_Qe8z3ZnAh4LvrJWas0GRjkIdIoCkJxazV-ZCKyb6Jn1bBqrdWG0lcf4Z70R0tLKzgORsBceugpkgo6_68iHSfG1-iOCPxl0nNChClAQjBcq8DstHZhrMg2-6gx5-NPZhtfAkw4/s200/camra.jpg" border="0" /></a>being in one, cause I love mine and whenever I'm driving...if I'm without the kids and it's not raining...you can pretty much bet that the top will be down. But I will say, I have not ever had the opportunity to ride in a convertable full of girlz...it was a blast! There was, of course, one spot empty. Our friend Shauna was supposed to come with us but was unable to make it...Missed you lots Girl! Hopefully next time you will be with us!<br /><div><div><div><div><br /><div><div>Well as you can probably tell from the pics...we had a lot of fun! Lots of crazy, silly, giddy girl fun! I always enjoy when I have the opportunity to get a little more closely bonded with my Girlz. Jilian is the Sushi Queen (she has tried several varieties of sushi already) so we could ask her advice on what was good and what was delicious! I couldn't believe how good some of that stuff was! Now, up till that night I don't think I have ever had any raw meat of any kind....boy did I make up for it on thursday...I had yellow tail, salmon, tuna, and eel. <em>I know! I know!</em> Eel? But it was so good, and the eel sauce they top it with was really delicious!</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5HKRbLbqrrhFcjeoshakn_M0v08pGne758eWA5Dmdx9bHBlJ5GpDpwZX8R544m3qLeEKwSyczPDD-7mniPkZUU3zJBbcLr0dkPTv0owfVXslCxmNk58yzjjZDHMS1qxLybLQWiSWoKo-n/s1600-h/leaning+tower+of+sushi.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249327593522626434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5HKRbLbqrrhFcjeoshakn_M0v08pGne758eWA5Dmdx9bHBlJ5GpDpwZX8R544m3qLeEKwSyczPDD-7mniPkZUU3zJBbcLr0dkPTv0owfVXslCxmNk58yzjjZDHMS1qxLybLQWiSWoKo-n/s200/leaning+tower+of+sushi.jpg" border="0" /></a>So about the birthday stuff! We brought the gifts into the resteraunt...I got the girls some shirts from Aeropostale and some necklaces. Tanya got Jillian a <a href="http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Home.aspx?r=0&&utm_source=LinkShare&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=Google">Vera Bradley</a> purse and wallet and Jillian got Tanya a one of a kind <a href="http://www.ellenaydesigns.com/">Monogramed necklace</a> with monogramed T on one side and "<em>Mon Ami"</em> on the other...which is "<em>My Friend"</em> in French. You should visit the link to the necklace...I am friends with the lady who makes these and she does a scectacular job on them! Lots of creativity there!</div><br /><div>So after dinner...the resteraunt staff and half the of resteraunt costumers sang "Happy Birthday" to the girls and gave them their birthday <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochi_ice_cream">"ice cream"</a> and everyone clapped and screamed and cheered....it was really hillarious and so much fun. </div><br /><div>I can't wait for the next occasion shared with you girls...I love you all! </div><br /><div><a href="http://jillian-commitingmywaysuntothelord.blogspot.com/">For Jillian's version of Girls Night Out go here</a></div><br /><div>P.S. <em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Nuit De Filles Dehors!</span></em> in the blog title is <em><strong>Girls Night Out!</strong></em> in French!</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBVjNdugPk5Qg2DmpZk2zE8z1cyJj3Rs54muA89DPnc14iNLyHlrflKD53QDK3ByU8De8pljDVD4oAUqj6VBpscbeQGkBTDihehlS5vWFHwK5QujpkhsTFC5SRBeShaYdWqpqQvErLpEOp/s1600-h/girlzredlight+blackandwhite.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249313663705744994" style="FLOAT: left;

There is,however, a catch . . .. you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!<br /><br />So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband...On the first floor the sign on the door reads:<br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Floor 1 -</span> These men have jobs and love the Lord.<br /><br />The second floor sign reads:<br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Floor 2 -</span> These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.<br /><br />The third floor sign reads:<br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Floor 3 -</span> These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.<br />"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.<br /><br />She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:<br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Floor 4 -</span> These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are <em>"drop dead gorgeous"</em> and help with the housework.<br /><em>"Oh, mercy me!"</em> she exclaims, <em>"I can hardly stand it!"</em><br /><br />Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:<br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Floor 5 -</span> These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are <em>"drop dead gorgeous",</em> help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. </div><div align="left">She is so tempted to stay...<br /><br />...but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:<br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Floor 6 -</span> You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.<br /><br />Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

So I just got an email from my childhood best friend saying that she has just started a blog...I feel like I've started a revolution..LOL! Anyway, I love this girl sooo much and we have endured a lot together. She was the very first friend I ever remember having...and at this point it feels as if I've known her my entire life. While distance has tried hard to separate us we are still in contact. We grew up in Florida and I moved to Delaware when I was 14 ...when I came back at age 19...she had already married and moved to North Carolina.

There are no words. It just feels like another home in my heart...to be wherever they are...I remember Miss Vicki saying, " I can't believe you're here!" Neither could I.<br />I remember that first hug...Some things in life just amount to this: <em>"sometimes words cannot explain".</em><br />Calista was just elated to be near them again. I sat there on the couch next to Miss Vicki with her holding Carson. Bro. Malcolm was talking to Don. It felt so peaceful to me...to finally be here...to just be around them and talk to them in person again. I remember thinking, "I don't want to ever forget they way I feel right now". <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkr-hDwsdGWC3SpbbfOi3H55tJpYh-DD99Mhkm1hbjpsd0hhFDjxTTcovyCoJky12ymg2zr1DXbyGFhGORZppjktdD1e2zKwoA8f6OQZduLza9YonBFioHHpksYUeI8xAmNxDl-KTtashE/s1600-h/meflowers.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244055885128892626" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkr-hDwsdGWC3SpbbfOi3H55tJpYh-DD99Mhkm1hbjpsd0hhFDjxTTcovyCoJky12ymg2zr1DXbyGFhGORZppjktdD1e2zKwoA8f6OQZduLza9YonBFioHHpksYUeI8xAmNxDl-KTtashE/s200/meflowers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />You know, sometimes I think: Three and a half years ago I didn't even know them, I had never <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg15pwi8sC5aJ_Cgk4GoDWEV9FBrxrw6oWmcUTzzP42vYiBbARZ7B_JT3wkBIVJwhm4-nJrigFutimUc6K6xbwI92n_TK-mtf_L_pgEPX9sPrkkIy3xJbX3u0f3k5cEn56lLReK47IQEy_V/s1600-h/meflowers.jpg"></a>seen them, I had never heard their names...and now they mean the world to me...to us. I am so thankful for this turn in my life. And not just for them, but for all the friends that I have made and reunited with over the past three years...it has blessed my life in so many ways. God always knows what we need...in every area...I needed close friends...I needed her. I always will. For as long as I live Miss Vicki and Bro. Malcolm will be in a very special place in my heart.

Don drove the first three hour stretch till we got to a good long stretch on the interstate for me to drive. So pinging on a small coffee buzz, I climbed behind the wheel of the van at midnight while Don caught some Zzzz's. With him and both the children sound asleep and my buzz starting to wear off...it started getting harder to keep my eyes open. Listening to <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidcLJaDshGrHzD93ZVTZa8Z4S6oJbSMf5gQ9EpeNezfSN68nma2nlQ-WPkaVVAGgZs_MYaPLH5m9EsYgxdsqokYcdJgIoWjMS6C9sPdrdlFaCQyJ3LuQN7opItTO4S3wOvOnVHSlEUxAgy/s1600-h/10.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244144231042779906" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidcLJaDshGrHzD93ZVTZa8Z4S6oJbSMf5gQ9EpeNezfSN68nma2nlQ-WPkaVVAGgZs_MYaPLH5m9EsYgxdsqokYcdJgIoWjMS6C9sPdrdlFaCQyJ3LuQN7opItTO4S3wOvOnVHSlEUxAgy/s200/10.jpg" border="0" /></a>music wasn't helping, it was only making things worse. I needed some talking...like preaching or something. But in the rush to get out the door, we had forgotten to bring some preaching...so I started browsing radio stations trying to find some news or something....but notta! I ended up settling for <em>Sports Talk Radio (uggh!)</em>...which is really way off the spectrum of things that interest me...but the quick <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGMXisLLlLtWwHz-0EhMJGBVEMmEuKeaWjeiUDYf-X-_0xkO-QigPql-tLuC8ZyofbTFq45djZ7cP6UsyNyExy6zJP-CQ_mWOnNLCuaAjcUVCWBlsUPwM8Z7PLkOYvh1RQYeBZ-0HxvS5/s1600-h/2.jpg"></a>banter between the sports commentaters was helping my eyes stay open. Not to mention all the semi-trucks swerving into my lane...that's a major shot in the arm! Then about five coffee's later, at about 3:00 am...I could go on no longer. So Don took over till we got into Parsons <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBO7bI9841ho9DLw7HtJ8kbskO4J-Dhpk3Rn7lf369xaG7S5Xgv2sRIuY_fw66V59P7BVSqpbRNTLJH9K48YAXqK5WQXxFAU2k2pY_aIGdCBY_80uorLJnZ7okatgesxwdy7cNTBfNcXyP/s1600-h/2.jpg"></a>then one more bathroom break...and I drove the final ten minute stretch to their house. I'll never forget the way my heart caught in my throught when I saw their house number 154...it seemed like I had waited so long for this....and now....<em>I was finally here! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244147135287022514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmUppfTNh1ZY42xOlz6PPmSeCEfe3UMIGgSTVOueQnOLt23yrY4MuCOkGVBzPxaKqM3vKkdzxdstkV-iYut883myy50m3J8jBGLVizcw3B4XbG7kmjI1IdxHwaJgaX1srgZRb7qJ6GmKd/s320/2.jpg" border="0" /></em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
