A good weekend....

With my co-hosts and the bride-to-be in the teal dress
Just a quick post... it's been a great weekend. A good-for-the-soul, and I'm-tired-in-a-good-way kind of weekend. A great way to start closing out the summer... We spent the bulk of the day yesterday on the "rivah", tubing down the James. FUN! I had a bit of trepidation going into it, but OMG - we had a great time. I never could have done it 80 pounds ago - I would have been so self-conscious and uncomfortable. On a side note, I do wish we could have made it up to Washington DC to the rally on the mall, but it didn't work out. Oh well. After tubing, we had dinner with our friends at their house. We were all zoned from the sun and just enjoyed hanging out quietly. We all crashed HARD last night, then today was a co-hosted bridal shower for a very good friend, and honestly, bedtime is calling me EARLY tonight... One of my BF's here in Richmond is actually at the Emmy's tonight - in fact she just texted me to say she was walking down the red carpet... I can't wait to hear the stories, but honestly have NO urge to be there myself. Happy to live vicariously thru her though! Hope you all had great weekends too.

Our friends...
Lucia, just chilling out!!! She just hung for 3 hours and rested... fun stuff.

Tubing, pools, water parks and similar are rough on us who are not confident in our selfs. I amnot there yet, but I'll get there. Good to hear you are at a place where you can enjoy yourself.

Looks like a well deserved weekend of fun!

It's awesome to see you and the fam enjoying life.

I'm the same way, would never have actually gotten around to tubing pre-band. Sure, I would have said yes to an invite because I wanted to be able to be that kind of person but knowing me I would have found some excuse to cancel so I didn't have to put myself through it.

Now, looking at your pictures I'm thinking it would be a lot of fun and I'd like to try it :-)
