Every year my best friends and I get together for a girls weekend. This year we decided to go back to Britni's family's cabin since we had such a good time there last year.
Britni and Pierson, Me and Karah, Heather, Sarah, Hannah, and Carrie
We met up at Heather's new house and took this picture before we left. Last year, Heather was not able to go to the cabin because she had just had her baby Karah. We stopped by her house on the way last year and got to visit but I am so glad she was able to be with us this year!
Heather and her husband recently moved from Allen, TX to Sherman, TX because her husband is pastoring a small church in a nearby town. They live out in the country and it is just beautiful! We decided to meet at her house so we could see their new place.
They have a a beautiful pond right in their backyard.
I love the little gazebo.
Before we went to the cabin we stopped by Britni's parent's house. They were keeping Pierson for the weekend and her mom made us an amazing lunch. She made homemade yeast rolls, barbecue chicken, this amazing corn salad, potatoes, and a homemade pumpkin pie. It was so sweet of her and we had a good time visiting with Britni's parents. Pierson loved running around and taking us on the trials Britni's dad and husband made in their backyard. It is so beautiful and pretty much my dream backyard.
Walking the trails.
I love the deck in the backyard. Britni had her wedding in her parents backyard and we danced on the deck at the reception.
Pierson also got to ride on his Poppi's big, green tractor. Pierson was in heaven! He loves John Deere tractors and it was the theme of his 3rd birthday this year.
After we left Britni's parents house we headed to the cabin. It is so relaxing and beautiful out there. I could feel myself relaxing the closer we got.

The weather was perfect that weekend so we were able to enjoy sitting out on the front porch all weekend.
We didn't just sit around all weekend...we had fun riding four wheelers too! Carrie wasn't able to ride this year because she just found out she is expecting!! I am so excited for her and Jon! I found out at her birthday party they were pregnant and after the year they have had with Jon's accident I am thrilled about this good news! The baby is due in November and that is the same month Jon fell out of a deer blind and was in the hospital. I love that they will be in the hospital for a much better reason this coming November!
Since Carrie couldn't ride we took a walk and I tried out my new camera. I am so excited that I finally was able to buy the camera I have wanted for so long. I bought a Cannon Rebel and I absolutely love it. My friend, Michelle, is a professional photographer and is going to give me some lessons this summer. The camera is so much fun to use and I really enjoyed taking pictures all weekend.
This is the original cabin that Britni's grandad built years ago. They used some of the wood and materials from the original cabin to build the new one.
Britni's dad came out one day with Pierson to take him 4-wheeler riding because Pierson was wanting to ride. Her dad took us on some fun trials on the 4-wheelers that I never would have gone on if I hadn't seen how he made it through first. I onyl got stuck once :)
I am so thankful for my friends and the fact we all make time to get together every year. I pray we will be gray haired, old ladies one day still getting together for girls weekend.
