One of my favorite things about living in graduate housing, is all the amazing women I have gotten to know that live within walking distance. There is no better way to get to know your neighbors, then to cross paths with them once, twice, three times a day. You can't help but share your live with each other. Then add to that the fact that their husbands are also in school and most of them attend the same program together. That pretty much guarantees you become friends for life.
We love to get together for ladies nights out for all of our birthdays. It is the perfect excuse to dress up cute, eat yummy food, and have a great time without the children interrupting our conversations. We missed out on Candace's birthday on New Years Day, because she was still out of town for the holidays. So a few weeks later we knew that we had to take advantage of Laura's birthday and do a dual birthday dinner for some of our favorite TP '14's! We had lots of laughs together and bribed our server to take this picture of all of us. I think he was pretty bummed when he found out right off the top that there would be no alcohol served at our table. :)
I will miss these B-Day dinners a lot when we move. They have buoyed me up when I am having a hard time. They have kept me afloat with something to look forward to. They have allowed me to step out of my homebody persona and enjoy a night out on the town. And they have given me a chance to bond with a bunch of wonderful ladies.

Candace was a having us all laughing so hard when she modeled her new scarf.
