I have had three weeks to organize my thoughts about Friends for Life 2014, but I'm not sure if the next six months could help properly portray all the wonderfulness of those five days. Last year I wrote all about the "truth" of FFL in pictures, and to be honest, this year was much of the same... I have many pics of friends laughing and hanging out like we've known each other all our lives; it definitely feels that way. We are family, after all, and distance doesn't separate us one bit.
I'll start out with the "were on our way" pic I texted to a few of my fellow D-Moms. Maybe a warning, of sorts, that trouble is on its way :)
Just like last year, I found this chic... or she found me. Potato - Potato.

Then there was "Moms Group"...
Pineapple drinks at the pool...
Some race car driving...
Teen Dances... CWD takes very good care of our kiddos.
Fireworks...
and a whole lot of fun with friends.
I admit, I go to FFL for myself just as much as I go for Justin. It's a time for both of us to be surrounded by the feeling of "same". Almost five years ago(next month) I started this blog. At the time I felt lost, alone and in a dark hole that continued to spiral deeper and deeper. Then I met a handful of ladies...
Meri, Hallie and Heather were among them. We all "clicked" and have remained friends, even after the Sunday night chats dwindled away. I owe them, along with a few others, my sanity. Without them... I would be a crazy(ier) mess.
Not that the kids mind since they are too busy to care where I am anyways...
Leighanna was excited Sweets come to FFL this year and really loved hanging out with her.
And Justin seems to find his voice while were there... that's a good feeling.
On Sunday morning, it was really hard to say goodbye to those I love more than words...
We hung out...
and laughed...
Until they literally dragged us away...
I missed them as soon as I hugged their necks goodbye.
Until we meet again my friends.

I don't approve of about 100 of these pictures, but I will allow them on the grounds of wonderfulness.
I love you, my sister. My comic relief. My poop disturber. My friend for life. (See what I did there?)
You made that week joyous for me. It's all on you!
I can not wait to go to FFL...some year, some year it will happen! Glad you guys went and had such a blast together ;)
Wait... was I there?! ;)
I love this! Not only do I have a big ass smile in my face, I'm crying! And I don't cry about stuff like this! We had such a great time!! Wonderful memories... I need copies of these pics, please! Love you and your family! And can't wait to see you again soon!
Ps- I still want a pineapple drink!
Love this -- such great happy photos! Definitely tell a thousand words, and many more. Bummed to have missed FFL this round, but am so happy to see these awesome recaps in words and photos. Thanks for sharing!
This post makes me so happy!!! But at the same time it makes me kind of sad, because I miss FFL so much. Next year can't come soon enough!
I love FFL! And I love that it brings friends together. Missed seeing you all this year. <3
