Road Trip

I wore this on our long and what seemed like never ending drive home yesterday. This weekend three of my girlfriends and I made a quick road trip to Dallas to meet up with two other buddies for birthday celebrations. To say I am exhausted would be an understatement. I can't speak for the other five ladies, but I cannot hang like I used to. Long drives and a late night took it's toll on my not-in-my-twenties-anymore body, but it was worth every single second.

I posted a handful of pics on Instagram and one of the hashtags was #17yearsstrong. That is how long my friends sisters and I have been making memories. Even though our entire crew couldn't be there with us because of distance and living in other states, this weekend was another chapter written in our personal friendship biography, one that really should get published one day...an edited version of course. 

We woke up Sunday morning, laughing and recapping all the silliness from the night before, and I asked the question, "When will we be too old for these slumber parties?" Without hesitation, one of my friends replied, "Never!" That was just the response I was hoping for. There is no doubt in my mind that one day, while scooting around with walkers, wearing Depends, blue haired, wrinkled and saggy from head to toe, we will reminisce all our shenanigans on a hotel room couch about the "younger days" when we thought we were old. I look forward to filling in the blank pages between now and next 50 years.

I am linking up with Lauren at Fizz and Frosting to show you two ways I wore this printed utility jacket. The post in the dress can be found here.
