Girls' Weekend

November 1-4 17+ years after graduating, three good friends from high school and I finally got together for two really great days in Arizona. We started out with a temple session in Mesa, and the rest of the time was spent just catching up, laughing and talking, eating really good food, and not sleeping much. Between us, we have 16 children, 53 years of marriage, and a wealth of experience, and it was so wonderful to renew our friendships. Thanks, girls for the fabulous get-together and for being such wonderful friends.

After our reunion, I spent a day with Kendra and Barry, got to meet new baby Tessa, and play with Kira and Trenton. Trenton made me feel right at home by tackling me within minutes of my arrival. Then, when it was time for me to go, he said, "No, Aunt Trina. Please don't leave me." It's nice to feel loved.

I had a fabulous time. Many many thanks to my parents who helped out enormously with the boys while I was gone, thanks to Liz for feeding them all dinner one night, and especially thanks to Guy for not only not complaining about my being gone, but for giving the boys a great weekend. What can I say? I got me a good one.
