Look at us now...The Cavewomen!

23 years ago, I went off to Ricks College with one of my best friends from High School and dragging another girl from my home stake, Yakima Stake.

We were so displeased to find that we were put in the corner of Dorm 6, which meant that our front window looked out onto a wall-the corner wall and this apartment was dubbed as "the cave" therefore, we became the "Cavewomen".

There was another girl there from Washington, Deer Park by Spokane and she was a farmer's daughter and looked and talked like it. The two other girls were from a place called Rancho Cucamunga in Southern California, might as well have been a foreign country to us Washingtonians! We thought we would have nothing in common and here we are 23 years have passed and 5 out of the 6 still get together every other year!

We have done so many different things. Two of us served missions, 5 out of the six are married with children. One is ready to send off her son on a mission and another just had her first baby. But it doesn't matter how different our lives our, our love for each other binds us.

It was a GREAT weekend and I was ready for a break after being with the kids all week by myself with 3 out of the 4 women our household PMSing. We talked and talked and talked from crazy things that have happened to us and our families to poor Sandra Bullock being cheated on by Jesse James. Our tradition is to always go to church on Sunday together and we attended a GREAT sacrament meeting in McCall. I mean the sister who spoke could give a talk in Women's Conference or Education Week.

I talked to my sister Stephanie yesterday and told her, "I feel filled up" because of such a great weekend with my friends. Thank you for everyone who made it possible so we could get together and keep our reunions going!
