Girl Power
Okay, if you haven't seen SATC the Movie, and you were a fan of the series, drop EVERYTHING you are doing right now and run to the theater with a group of your cloest girls. A word of warning only to those who have 1. never seen the show or 2. only watched it on TBS. It is rated R for a reason and stays very true to the HBO series.
But it sure makes you love the fact that you have girl friends. I mean don't get me wrong, husbands/boyfriends are great and not to be replaced, but there is something about the bond women share throughout the years. It's beautiful, it's complicated, it's emotional, it's real love.
I have been privileged to have a few of these relationships throughout my life and every day relish in the love between all my besties.
I know many women talk about the cattiness of women, how we back stab, but those women weren't bonded. The women that I'm friends with today, we've all been through a lot. Each of us brings a unique aspect and viewpoint that the other doesn't have. Each of our backgrounds are different, our love lives distinctly different... yet we all come together and share and learn from eachother.
My friends and I have evolved out of the "dating sphere" of girl talks and entered into an entirely new realm of motherhood, being a wife, a working mom, a partner, a lover and more. If it wasn't for my friends, I don't know where I would be. I could never count the number of fears they've calmed, fights they've helped me work through, depression they've helped me rise out of and more. I know that they make me a better sister/wife/mother and of course friend.
We may not be like our favorites from SATC, as we don't have the designer shoes to prove it, but one thing we do have is our love for eachother and our desire to see the others exceed past their wildest dreams. We are so lucky to have eachother. I love you girls!
Well enough of the loves fest!
Friday night we had a delightful (if not slightly rushed) evening with the girls.
Abby, Courtney, Christina and I met up with Mabrie, Mercedes, Kathleen, Mary and Micah to see the SATC movie.
The only requirement of the night was cute shoes:
Abby and Christina
In true Christina fashion she was drinking her drink too slowly and the movie deadline was fast approaching, so Abby had to help her drain it:
Then at the theater
Abby and Court drinking their Cosmos
It was so great to see my Mabes! I love that lady!
Group Shot:
The crazy thing is we also sat right next to Britten and Courtney Mills and Bethany Obert! They were our great friends like when we were all in homeschool drama together during elementary school. So it was like almost all generations of our lives, we were just missing either a Jennifer/Stephanie/Katie in the mix and it would have been like our entire lives of best friends to date. SO crazy, but great to see them all!
SO that was our fantastic night! We sped off after the movie to drop off Abby/Christina so we could skidaddle to the airport to pick up my parents!! Yippee! They are home!
Well that's all I have for now, but I just wanted to talk about how much fun we had Friday.
Though we did miss you Tiffani :)

Being that the evening started after work, and the movie began at 7pm in uptown Dallas, you can imagine the rush we were all in to get there. Only to find that we were only allowed enough time to get one drink (mine of the non-alcohol persuasion) and some chip and dips before we skidaddled to the theater.
Here we are at the restaurant:

oaawwwwhhh. that makes me all smiley and fuzzy inside! Sommer walked in and was so excited that she saw it and I have to just tell her to not talk to me until I have seen it :) I want to go so bad! I bet it was SO much fun...I heard the audience was very into it everywhere! We should go Wed? or your MIL...wish I could have seen Mabrie too! awww.I can't WAIT!!! - Tiff
i was trying to guess, after the first shoe pic, who had on what pair of shoes. i should have known abby was the one rockin the pink pointies. very cute.
That night was so great! And you are so right...girlfriends are the best! I couldn't agree with this blog anymore! I'm so thankful for all of you girls in my life...there's something so wonderful about being totally honest and real, laughing and crying together, and just being yourself in a circle of friends...that is worth more than gold! I love you Des!

And...of course, what would my life be like without you girls to rush me through my drink! :) I DID drink that one faster than the bucket drink we had before! I had the brain-freeze/buzz to prove it! :)

What a fun night! I am so glad y'all made it all the way out to Dallas!
I agree with your blog...the ladies in my life tend to be my life boat when times get tough.
LOVE YOU!
Ah! I am just now catching up on all your blogs (if I read them every day, I'd never get anything done! ;) This is coming up "anonymous" so for the record, I am Britten...and seriously, WHAT are the chances we'd pick the same theatre to see the movie?? It was a crazy night for us also, Beth got stuck in traffic with another friend, and almost missed the beginning of the movie!! There was too much nudity for my personal taste, but that did not keep us girls from howling with laughter the whole way through!! My requirement for the evening was not only heels, but dresses, too! Although I have to say, a little thunder was taken away from my little plan when I saw how dressed up everyone else was...it was good to run into the "Benjamin" girls again...congrats on the new little one on the way :)
