I have had many wonderful friends, I consider myself very lucky. I have never really been a part of a GROUP, though. Sure, there was the theatre group in high school, and the sorority girls in college, but I seem to be the type that does best with just one person by my side. But I've always longed to know just what that was like, to be a part of a group. Where everyone calls everyone to hang out, and no one is left out.
I have a small group starting, and I think this could be the start of something wonderful...
Two friends of mine from school (fellow teachers) and I have somehow or another formed a bond. We live within about 5 minutes of each other, and have carpooled places together, and gone out together, and shared our stories of motherhood and wife-hood together too.
We are all theatre people. And being teachers, we have no money and want to see all things fabulous, so we journeyed to downtown Memphis for teacher's night at the grand theatre, The Orpheum. We took our 20 dollar nosebleed seats and enjoyed a showing of Beauty and the Beast, which appeased the little girls inside us who love fairy tales. We had a great dinner before, and as we left, I snapped this picture:
It's nights like this that you remember always. Plain girl fun, with the flair of a trip downtown.
