Soooooo, eight of us crammed into two rooms in downtown Oklahoma City. There were tears and laugther. I danced. I brought joy. And people need joy. There were gifts, sunscreen and salsa. Little sleep.
I rarely show personal pictures but I think I will this time. I have been in such a dark and sad place for so long. My mother is doing better now that she is recieving full time care. I cared for her, worked, took care of my house and family, and had three enormous, emotional growth events occur during that time. One of those was the cleaning out of her house. That was difficult and healing. It was an excavation and a burial. With that behind me and mother doing better, I am enjoying this time with some of the deepest peace I have ever felt. I think it shows in these photos I share with you and myself to show the summer of my life. The summer in my life.
Thank you Angie, Gina, Kim, Lori, Penny, Shelley, and Tina. Thank you Oklahoma City for introducing us and hosting us over and over. I love you, I love you.
You look absolutely gorgeous! What pretty friends you have:) Glad you are having a fun time and I hope you left our OKC in one piece!!!! ~Shelley O.

Robin,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were twenty-one! Yes, you are a knock-out. You have the whole picture...your beautiful hair, gorgeous smile, just a nice little healthy tan, just sexy enough top, killer shoes. You were all cheerleaders together...right?

I am glad your mom is doing better. You look so happy and I can tell you had a lot of fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you! You deserve this peacefulness!
ReplyDeleteThose are all great pictures of the F.U. You are smiling and it looks fantastic. What is it about Angie? She just looks like a firecracker. Kim has one of the most fun faces ever, it looks like she's always down for being cheery. Crop that gingham out of the picture, I can't stand it.
