We had a long weekend away for our annual trip up north with many of our closest friends from high school this past weekend. Sixteen of us went up this time (two of our regulars had to stay behind this year to take care of the newest member of their family) and it was fantastic. This trip, one thing was extremely different for me: being there without consuming one drop of alcohol! Surely the crew would know something was up if there were no drinks going down my hatch, so Jeff and I made the decision to let the group in on our news. It was a bit scary since our appointment isn't until Friday, but we swore them all to secrecy and thankfully we hope everyone will be able to know very soon anyway. They were all so sweet to us and everyone was excited and pretty surprised. Of course now they have the burden of carrying this secret too, but luckily for only a few more days.
It was actually quite fun being able to recap all the stories and crazy fun times from the trip so clearly! It was much easier than I thought being one of two out of 16 people not drinking. The two of us even managed to be among the last to go to bed a couple nights (however, we did have the luxury of napping and not getting any grief for doing so!). Even sober I was probably still the most fun. (haha!)
What a blast, as always. We are very blessed to have such a tight circle of friends from high school still, friendships that have spanned so many years. Not to mention, no one could have hand-picked better significant others in the group. Here are some of the (PG rated) photos...
