Foxcroft Girls Gone Wild

So I took off for the weekend!  With a bunch of other women from my neighborhood!  They'd rented a house in Lynchburg and organized everything and I mostly just had to show up!  I did bring killer crunch brownies to share.  That was my big contribution.

And even though I was very nervous about how I'd fit in, especially when I knew the wine (and CBD gummies 😬, it turned out) would be flowing freely, I had a FABULOUS time!  The whole weekend was really great.  Phew!!! 😅

This was the house, and I think it had seven bedrooms, so everyone got their own room!  I don't love sleeping with someone else in the room, so that was lovely.  (There was also an extra house with a couple more beds, so we really had plenty of room.)

We had a white elephant gift exchange!  Everyone wanted the shirt and hat from Nola Builds (Rachel's husband's construction company), but unfortunately it got stolen from me, so I didn't get to keep it.  But Annissa was nice and gave me the sunglasses, which was all I really wanted anyway...!  (That's me on the bottom right, in case you couldn't tell...)

My room!  It was only after I'd gotten settled that I realized that the bed was the same one Craig and I used to have!!!!  No wonder it felt so homey to me!

First night's dessert tray!  I think I gave myself a headache from eating too much sugar...

I guess this is enough snacks for two days...

We all spent a lot of time just laying around the pool reading and chatting.  And no one whined at us the entire time.  It. was. aMAZing.

They made t-shirts for everyone and I was really pleased with the shirt I got (which reads, "I'll bring the getaway car")-- I really didn't want it to be something lame, but I'm a hard person to pin down for stuff like this.  But I thought this was very funny and apropos!

I loved this trellis and the huge lawn behind it.  Apparently this house is used for weddings sometimes, and I can totally picture that!

Chilling on the front porch!

The whole gang!  l-r (back): me, Rebekah, Ginna, Brandy, Annissa, Laurel, (front) Rachel, Kate.  Some of the other t-shirts said, "I'll bring the chutzpah, unsteady gait, dilated eyes, voice of reason, adult supervision, etc..."  So, yeah, getaway car was not bad!

Am I in pain?  Why am I pulling this face?

All packed up and ready to head home!

I got home feeling so refreshed and happy and excited to see my family again.  And I can't wait to do it again next year!
