Give Yourself Permission To Have Fun

Josh and I spent the weekend camping with dear friends of ours. Here is everyone else trying to determine the most logical move in our "Ladies vs. Men Checkers". Of course you will not see me in the picture due to my self image issues, but that's another blog for another day.  However, as hectic as everyday life is, (between our 2 families, there are 12 of us) every once in a while, it's Ok to sneak away, without the kids and have some adult fun times! We were also lucky enough to meet up with other friends I work with who were at the same campground that weekend and just ate, drank, told funny stories and laughed out loud. You know, the kind of laughter where you lose your breath and start crying...yeah, that kind. So, I encourage all of you to try that once in a while. It's like therapy!
