When I first left for college I was scared. I was sad. I was lonely. I was overwhelmed! It was my first time being on my own with no one to tell me what to do....when to be home...no one was there to make sure I went to class.....or studied!
It was the biggest change of my life. I left family and friends behind....to be on my own. It was a great responsibility and it was my first time to prove myself.
Soon after moving into my dorm I met the most special group of girls who helped me thru. We were all there together. Going thru the same emotions and adjustments. We supported each other, helped each other and eventually depended on each other. When I graduated from college I cried tears....BIG tears! I was afraid we would loose touch.....go our seperate ways. I had friends before them, but no one that I depended on quite like them. They had become my family.
So we made a pact! We would get together once a year for a weekend. A GIRLS WEEKEND! So far we have kept true to our promise. There are times when everyone can't be there but for the most part we make it a priority. A priority to keep in touch! To remain close! We always have a fabulous time enjoying each other. This time was no different...
We went to Asheville and stayed at a FABULOUS B&B, went on the Christmas candlelight tour at Biltmore, shopped, ate and chatted. It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend. We missed all those who couldn't make it but I am already looking forward to next year.
Like the Beatles once wrote:
"What do I do when my love is away,
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do you feel by the end of the day,
Are you sad because you're on your own?
No, I get by with a little help from my friends...
I get high with a little help from my friends...
Gonna try with a little help from my friends!"
THANKS FRIENDS!
And, as promised, pictures are HERE!

Hello from a Lexington, SC, blogger. I just clicked on the "Lexington Blogosphere" listed right under the Live Traffic Feed block on my blog and found a bunch of nearby bloggers, including you.
I have a little embroidery and sewing and craft studio in my home and use the blogs to learn what's out there and make friends with other craft bloggers. Come by sometime to the blog at http://calicodaisy.blogspot.com/. If you need any monogramming or other sewing done, send me an e-mail, and I will send you my phone number.

I happened to find your blog through the Feedjit Blogosphere thing. I'm in West Columbia. It's cool to find other bloggers that are local. I look forward to reading more of your blog!
I also found you through Blogosphere. What fun to find SC bloggers! I am also a SC blogger and a total Squidoo nut. I am a proud grandma and enjoyed reading the chatter from all of you young moms! Raising children is one of the biggest joys of life, for sure.
Come see me on Squidoo. I have 90 sites of recipes, toys, and creative ideas!
