The Best Weekend

We spent a weekend in Austin, TX with great friends. Most of us had moved away from Austin two years ago, we were all back together in the place where most of our friendships started. I just love these ladies! We spent the day together on Friday shopping and then we picked up our dear friend Marianne from the airport. We were waiting at the bottom of the escalator with our poster board welcoming her back to Austin. You have to accept that you may be publicly embarrassed when we are all together.


We had all flown into Austin for the LIVESTRONG challenge in honor of Marianne's husband and our dear friend Rich Lloyd. After picking up Mare at the airport, we met the guys at the Hula Hut on Lake Austin. I think we all left Austin having gained weight after all of the food we consumed.


Saturday morning we all met at our hotel and headed down to the capital building to participate in the 5K run/walk. We had to start our day off with world famous Round Rock Donuts.



I would love to say that we ran the 5K but we decided to walk and spend time with friends and remember Rich.


This is the entire Live Rich team on the steps of the capital building in downtown Austin. It was a great weekend of laughter and tears. We all miss Rich so much. We were also honored to have a breast cancer survivor on our team. These friends are such a vital part of my life and I am so thankful to call them friends.
