3rd Annual CBU Girls Weekend

This last weekend I went to San Clemente for our 3rd annual CBU Girls Weekend. This weekend is one that we all look forward to every year. This year we all stayed at Hayley's "little yellow cottage down by the sea" (thank you Travis for letting us kick you out and take over your house for the weekend!).
Not only is Hayley's house so cute and homey, it is within minutes of the beach. The San Clemente pier is actually within walking distance but with two very pregnant girls and a ton of hills, we opted to drive!
Most of our time together is spent doing what girls do best... TALKING. We lounged around the house and talked. We went to breakfast near the pier and talked. We had a picnic at the beach and talked. We went to dinner at a cute Italian restaurant and talked. WIth 8 girls who only get together once a year there is so much to catch up on. We also do more than our fair share of laughing too!
There are exciting things happening in each of our lives. Some are enjoying the joys and challenges of marriage and some are enjoying the joys and challenges of singlehood and dating. Some have children, some are expecting children any time now, and some are hoping for children soon. There have been moves, job changes, graduations, and so much more. But the best thing that brings us all together no matter what our individual lives hold is our aim to trust wholeheartedly in the Lord and to bring Him all praise, glory and honor!
Girls, thank you to each and every one of you for your love and support in my life! Thank you for challenging me to be a woman after God's own heart. And thank you for letting your lives be a testiment of God's love and grace! I am so excited to get to continue to walk with each of you along your journeys as well!
Here are just a few of the pictures from the weekend. Enjoy!
