…an escape hatch of laughter.

my friend suez, a.k.a. spicy, planned a going-away-sleepover-party for me with some of our dear girlfriends, this past tuesday. we stayed here for the evening, had a delicious dinner here, went to see this, and stopped by here for a final sugar high…

well, it was our final sugar high

till we finished off two boxes of chocolate covered cinnamon bears somewhere around 2am. and some cake bites.


the entire evening completely blew my mind, my sleep schedule, and my waistband!


lots of delicious food with lovely ladies! {Ahem!}
…including a double chocolate milkshake that shan & i shared!


these ladies are quite adept at striking a pose for the camera. ::winks::


there are stresses in life, there are challenges, and there are girlfriends who create an escape hatch of laughter…

and love.

thank you, and much much love, m’dears! you will all be missed. greatly.

{however, i know our next sleepover will be in boston!}

*and, the oscar goes to:
our husbands! who had a total of twenty-eight children to take care of while we were out. they covered carpools, homework, extracurricular activities, dinner, and i’m positive they were all in bed on time too, right papa’s?!?
