What lucky people you are to live in such wondrous beauty and be able to share it with such wondrous beauties. I love reading your posts, but this one is a favourite, for sure. I don't think I'm following all of these lovely ladies' blogs - could you maybe remind me which one is which? xxxLucy (UK)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659636033906880131.post-66377324240844588172011-02-26T23:47:10.310-08:002011-02-26T23:47:10.310-08:00Okay, so many thoughts, ideas, memories.
First o...Okay, so many thoughts, ideas, memories. <br /><br />First off, I just want to say that I've had a whole week (just a week!!?!? A week already!?!?!) to mull over what it all meant to me and how I might express it and I think you have done it much more eloquently than I ever could have. <br /><br />The whole weekend from the first moment I spotted little Mycie through the window and when you breezed in with your blue dress and dream catcher's, I felt as though I was re-united with old friends. Sure it was an equal mix of "I have to pinch myself." And "I wonder if they're gonna think I'm cool." But mostly I just felt like we had always rolled together in a huge posse of kids and husbands and cats and dresses. Like it wasn't really the first time. Like I knew we were connected on a much deeper level, but didn't dare to really believe that we would click, and then we ended up being even more perfect for each other than I had dared to dream ;)<br /><br />All week I've been suffused with light and love and sweetness.<br /><br />As I write this, just fresh home from the Annual Women's Coffee House (wearing my dress from Nicole, a bullet from Sadie and The Four of Us-Pin from Amber) where you were as present to me as though you were sitting next to me, I realize that I probably just ought to write all this in an email, so just a few general notes of love.<br /><br />Remember how you thought you had crazy hair all day? It's my bangs that are the crazy ones...I feel like I look weird in every photo 'cos I'm smiling so hard, but it only makes me happy. Weird looking or not, I'm with my sistahs!<br /><br />Also, I LOVED going over to Addie's and realizing that we were both wearing kind of similar outfits, mocs and gunnes. Getting to ride with you and Addie and Mycie was a high point. I loved our little time together. Lots of love to you Addie, I felt so shy meeting you and so impressed and I can't wait to connect more with you.<br /><br />I too love the moon howling picture of us! I can't at all put it to words, but you know what I mean She Who Walks In Little Slippers.<br /><br />Thank you for snapping a picture of me and Sadie together. I'm so happy she came even for a little while. <br /><br />And while I have 10000 more happy notes, so as not to appear entirely bonkers, I would just like to say that the pic of Eddie and Graham is too cool for school. All of our dudes rock. (I wish Darin could have come with us, I would have loved to connect with him more over movies and all, but there's always time for that this fall right?)<br /><br />And one more thing: I agree with Nicole. Let's make it our annual shindig! <br /><br />I miss you. So much.Millahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078509975778101344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659636033906880131.post-55330246106870115532011-02-26T10:26:35.190-08:002011-02-26T10:26:35.190-08:00So beautifully put Heather!!!

It was such a special weekend and you did a beautiful job of describing it and got some wonderful pics too, soooo fun to re-live it all through this post. <br /><br />I have soooo many pictures.

I felt as though I know you, I have always known you, and I WILL always know you. Is that just the bonds of good kindness and true love? I am not sure, but I am grateful! Even for brief moments at the cottage and in the Nash with Nicole and Sadie, I love you gals! I can feel the rest of the pure sisterhood and sparkling synchronicity by looking at these photos and hearing Heather describe the kindness! Oh to know that life has such fulfilling promise and kindred spiritness! I wish so much I could have started earlier and ended later and yet it is all just perfect the way it is!<br /><br />What magic, serious sister/woman power. I am so priveleged to know you all and to have Bun as my born sis. Amber, I do love that howling moon photo SO much too! And the last one. I can see why Heather said she was tearing up in the end. Because of the beauty of life!<br /><br />all my love<br />adieAdieSpringBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205931755209226695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659636033906880131.post-45051111266769356222011-02-24T00:28:18.116-08:002011-02-24T00:28:18.116-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.AdieSpringBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205931755209226695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659636033906880131.post-33762288345471398662011-02-23T22:10:29.222-08:002011-02-23T22:10:29.222-08:00OH EM GEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is too cute, deep, ...OH EM GEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is too cute, deep, on for realz!Hollie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518770065074076444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659636033906880131.post-69804603941111603962011-02-23T21:22:42.455-08:002011-02-23T21:22:42.455-08:00ugh, i am at a total loss for words.
