surprise surprise

And I should have wrote about this two weeks ago......because I am such a faithful blogger. (ha)

I have wonderful friends, more than wonderful friends, friends who love me for me, like to be around me (sometimes) and who celebrate life with me. I love them, cherish them and hope that I am half the friend they are.

Here's the story:

Thursday September 15th I had boot camp like I do every Thursday. I was suppose to go to Christa J's after for a movie (so she said) after but just really felt like I needed to come home so Rich could go out. Well Sheena, Raven and Christa had been planning this for a while and I was totally ruining it. (grin) I think Sheena cried!! (she was 9 months pregnant)
So they went on to plan b.

After a very intense workout and sweat dripping down my back and face and arms and legs.........ect ect. You get the point.
I was jumped by a little itty thing named Christa I was ready to fight but I knew I would hurt her (I hope she reads this). She blind folded me and guided me to my van. I was in shock. As we were driving all I could think of was 2 things,
1. I bought a sexy outfit for Saturday night (which was when the party was suppose to me) I better get to wear it, bahaha!!!
2. Why is she taking me to surrey?? (I'm directionally challenged and blindfolded)

We definitely did not go to surrey. We went to aldergrove, almost worst, haha joke.

I was happily surprised by some of the greatest woman I know. It was amazing. I ate more chocolate than all of them put together. One great little part about the night is that the ladies were asked to wear workout cloths so I wouldn't feel so bad. (so sweet) Some did and some opted out of the workout cloths (Their excuse, I'm out without my kids I'm gonna look hot)
It was a wonderful night with so much laughter and fun!! It was God's little reminder to me that I am so loved and so blessed to have these woman to walk thru life with.

They did not leave me empty handed! I left with a gift card to lululemon and some shopping money for working so hard to loose weight. I was brought to tears.

Its crucial to have girl friends in your life that uplift, bless, encourage, challenge, cry and laugh with. Its what gets me through most days. I can promise you I am not about superficial who has what, who makes what,who has the best hair, the best cloths, the skinniest, the prettiest, has the best dressed kids or biggest house. I am about real life, hard, good, happy sad!! REAL LIFE. Journey through the everyday.

If it weren't for these woman I wouldn't be who I was.

Thanks friends for the surprise and chocolate and laughs and but most importantly thank you for showing me true friendship, thanks for walking life out with me even if it hasn't always been easy. (Grin)

Cheers to the next 40 years of friendship
