thank goodness philip drove caroline to the airport, avoiding a severe traffic jam at LAX. i think i actually saw him physically restrain her from doing a tuck-and-roll out of the car when she saw the three of us on the sidewalk. there were hugs and crying and lots of girly smiling and staring at each other wondering: is this real life?
it was, and for several days, some of the best i've had in a long time. i don't think i realized how much i needed time with those three girls until i had it. how i am lucky enough to have friends like these in my life, i don't know, but i am surely grateful to the Lord for these three incredible blessings.
what did we do........ what did we NOT do? we had a list, which we accomplished (mostly), with a few substitutions/modifications: eat at a 24 joint (Mel's Diner), watch the sunrise (Griffith Park), watch the sunset (Venice Beach), go to Mosaic, get a henna tattoo (see above), bowling at Lucky Strike, sing "Shine On" loudly in the car, eat at Geoffrey's, make brownies and ice cream, and complete the..... challenge. i won, by the way, and someone owes me my prize. pay up, ladies.
we also got to eat an incredible dinner at Bella with my dad, which is always a good time :)
as much fun as all that was, i think my favorite times were just sitting in caroline's apartment around a meal (that philip had probably made, thanks phil :)) and talking and laughing and just enjoying life with each other. it's cheesy, but we really are meant to be friends. something works when we're all together, and it's in those times that i truly know that the Lord has his hand in these friendships.
love you girls :)
