I’m blessed to have an actual sister who is amazing and smart (and relentlessly young and thin), but I never imagined having friends so amazing that you *wish* they were your sisters, too. I’ve talked about my tribe before, and this weekend I added to that tribe. I love this pic because it showcases us all pretty well…

And since Beth somehow escaped that fabulous shot, she gets her own:

This vegan actually ate half a cheeseburger and didn’t hate it (although I may or may not have regretted it later, but the pina coladas made me forget). Don’t I look a little *too* happy about the burgers?
My gut hurt from the crying and the laughing, and I think that’s the best kind of hurt. It’s real, and it creates memories that last forever.

It did feel like a sisterhood. Definitely more than friendship and most surely not just bloggers getting together. I love that top pic, too!

I look like I had toothpicks in my eyes while eating a cheeseburger.
holy cow
But it was a great night and it certainly didn’t feel like any other blogger get together.
I love you (wo) man….

Hi Arianne,
“Comments” is the hot topic today, thanks to Miss Beth!
This is the first time I’ve visited your blog. Thanks so much for the comment on mine
You girls obviously had a great time together the other night and seem to have a special bond. Too much fun. Redamak’s is one of my favorite places. Peer pressure to eat half a burger? That Beth can be very persuasive and influential.
Have a wonderful evening,
Amy

I think there is like a scientific proven study that shows that a happy hormone is released when women get together, and more is released when you TALK, and even more when you actually like each other. I bet there was a whole lot of happy hormones floatin’ around, oh and the drinks helped too! (Oh, and don’t forget ice cream, hello!)
So glad you had such a deeply happy experience with the new additions to your tribe.

Okay, why the heck do I have to keep retyping my info in your comments section? I AM SO LAZY!
But, I still love you and look forward to seeing you again. This is a great post – very well said – I’m so proud to be a part of that group.
How in the hell did I not get into that picture???? Now everyone will think I’m Blossom.

I’m pretty sure beef releases a happy hormone, too. Mmmm.

I have loved looking at all of your blogs of those of you who got together. It is a sisterhood, isn’t it?? : )
We did this too a few weeks back (5 of us from the DFW area) and although we are not as close-knit as you gals, I hope we can be in the future!
Good times, good times…
