Lake Weekend

This weekend my Bible study group went up to Lake Burton! We are starting to make this a tradition, kicking the year off with a lake weekend. We took the summer off from meeting so we had lots of catch up time. Tricia's family has an amazing house and the setting is perfect. I love the lake and the mountains and just being outside!

We went up late Friday night and had some serious talking/bonding time that went into the wee hours! Saturday we slept in and then Tricia cooked us a fabulous bacon, eggs, and pancake breakfast.

Tricia drove us around in the boat most of the day and a few people went wakeboarding and surfing behind the boat!

Mary making it look easy!

We can't all be that graceful...

We took a cruise around dusk and it was beautiful! So relaxing!

Sadie enjoying the ride!

And probably the most hilarious part of the weekend...Laney sacrificing her body in an attempt to tie up the boat!

You can see how well that worked out. I haven't laughed that hard in a while! For dinner we grilled chicken and vegetables, and we had a cake for Laney's birthday! Tricia also gave her a fun birthday mug and glass to use for the weekend!

The weekend was such a great opportunity to bond with these girls. We had honest, serious talks, and laughed till we cried. I love that I can be myself with them and they know the good and the bad. I never have to put up any fronts about how I'm feeling, what I'm struggling with, or where I am spiritually. We have been together for 4 years, and I've loved hanging out with them every Monday and getting into the Bible with them. Looking forward to another year with yall!

Love you girls!
