Clemson Girls Weekend 2016

This year we switched things up a bit and went to a different lake house.  We went to AJ's brother's lake house on lake Wateree and had a great time!  

We all met at a well known pizza place in Lugoff, SC when we got into town on Friday night.  It was yummy and we were all so excited to be together.  


This was our view for the weekend...beautiful! 


I believe this was our 8th girls weekend and every year we usually do our "update" (where we go around the circle and tell everyone how our year has been) on Friday night.  This is definitely my favorite part of the weekend.  I love getting detailed updates on what is going on in each of their lives and being able to ask them questions about what they are telling us or other questions that pop in our heads.  It's such a sweet time of encouragement, sometimes crying, sometimes stopping to gather around and pray for someone, and laughter. Usually it is between 2 and 3 am on Friday night before we finish our updates, so this year we decided to wait on our updates until Saturday.  In the picture below we moved our updates out to the porch for several hours so that we could enjoy the sunshine.  


Next year we'll have at least 3 more babies to add to our kid total (17 and counting), making it 20. Abigail is due in early March, one in early May and one in late July.

I was 35 weeks in the picture below.  No more trips planned until after we get our Abby here. :)  


Very thankful for these ladies and all they memories that we share together.  Also thankful for their hearts and the way they are pursing Christ in each of their lives.  This is one of my favorite weekends of the year!
