It's Always Something

LA was definitely our R&R spot this year. It seemed like we were there every few weeks. Since I haven't been out in quite a bit since becoming a mommy in 2001, the frequent trips to LA this year have meant so much to me. Although extremely tired and often needed the work week to recover from the weekend, the trips were well worth it. (above: On occasion, Lib will partake in a Jager shot with me. I love her!) These girl trips became a time for me to find myself again. To learn to make friends again and open myself up to meeting new people. I've been working so hard for so long at work, parenthood, and marriage that I lost sight of what made me happy. Although I did many things in 2007 that I DIDN'T like, it definitely helped me find out what I really enjoyed... ... being home with Brooklynn. Go figure.

We celebrated the summer birthdays by heading to Los Angeles a couple times.  We visited friends/family, ate good food, and partied it up.  Classic moments like strip lessons with Case vs. Ro, Party Like a Rock Star video on Melrose, Paris Hilton sightings, and much more!   Brooklynn came on the second girls trip and hung out with baby Gavin a couple of days.  (above: Sketchers body guard) As we cruised the beach looking for AAA batteries, we stumbled upon the house of one of the guys who owns Sketchers.      As always... 4 shots of GG chilled with a squeeze twist + 1 glass of wine. xoxo

Lots of traveling this year. I think I practically lived out of a suitcase in 2007. Sometimes I have to sit back and wonder- was I visiting or running away?
