Thank you!

I'm not as young as I was when I used to stay out until all hours of the night so it has taken a good long nap before I feel more normal today. Yesterday and last night were so much fun and I just wanted to say thank you to everybody who kept me from freaking out. Obviously if it weren't for my great husband who doesn't mind taking the kids for a couple days, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy myself. He knew how much this weekend meant to me and he made it very easy for me to go. I met up with Cary and Nicki and Amanda at the hotel. It was lots of fun getting ready together and going to the party and dancing. Ya'll are great dates - much better than some I chose when I was in college! Laura and Meg were also supposed to be there and we missed them. There weren't a lot of people there from our time but it was really great to see Katie and Jen Yates and Jill. Everybody looked so beautiful! I also have Jason to thank for helping me calm my nerves. He is a lifelong friend and we got to catch up Saturday afternoon - which was a good distraction! It made me not worry about the night at all. I know this was just a weekend but it was a big deal to me. I am trying to take advantage of opportunites like these that I might have passed up before. There are so many things that I missed out on doing when I was in college and I don't want that to happen again. I don't want to look back and regret not spending these times with great friends.
Tonight I am thankful for everybody who helped make this a good weekend for me - Chip and my kids, Cary, Nicki, Manda, Katie, Laura and Jason - you are the best!
