This year my two best friends and I decided it had been way too long since the three of us did anything without husbands or kids in tow so we got a plan together to meet at Lori's, leave the kids and husbands at Lori's and go out to shop, eat, drink. We coined the day "Friendship Day" and decided we would do this every year on Labor Day weekend. We had the BEST time walking around Ottawa shopping and finally ending up sitting down for a yummy dinner and a drink. We figured out it had been since before Lori was married that all three of us actually spent time alone when one of us wasn't pregnant or nursing or there was kid running around. It's such a blessing to have two wonderful women as my best friends. We've known each other since we were in kindergarten and have years and years of memories to look back on and years and years to look forward to.
