Girl's Night Out!

I can't believe I just wrote that as my title....do you know how rare it is that I ever do a girl's night out?! I didn't even do it much when I was single or dating or engaged. I don't know, I've just always done lunches with my girlfriends...

Anyway, my precious friend Carrie and I planned MONTHS ago to go to Easely Amused and take a painting class. They walk you through a painting step by step and it's so fun. I had already been once before and painted a Christmas painting, and this was Carrie's first time, so we were super excited. Also---get this---we got to eat. At a restaurant. Alone. It was SO different than what we normally do (lunch with our kids), and we had an absolute blast! We painted a paisley cross called "Hallelujah." Here are some pic


Here's my painting in its new home: the guest bathroom! Eventually I'll put it in a playroom, kids' bathroom, or somewhere like that. But I like how it adds color to the bathroom for now!

I'm so thankful for Carrie and her friendship. She's truly a kindred spirit and a bosom friend, to quote my beloved Anne of Green Gables. :o) Love you, Carrie!

I took some adorable pictures of Evy this morning that I'm in the process of uploading. I'll put them up later today!
