Girl Time!

In January, 8 college friends met up in Hays to pamper ourselves and have a baby shower for our friend Lana who was expecting a baby. I have gotten spoiled and have now gone to Rock Haven twice in the past two years. Rock Haven is a wonderful spa outside of Hays and we all highly reccomend it--they pamper you rotten! Mindy had fun capturing our girl time and was nice enough to share her pictures with all of us--thanks Mindy! We ate a quick lunch at Arby's and then were at the spa before twelve and did not leave there until around 6--wow! It has been several years since we have all gotten together for girl time and we had a great time exchanging stories and laughs!

Here we all are in our robes ready for our afternoon of relaxing to begin.

Enjoying the hot tub with peach champange (yum) and sparkling juice for the prego friends--we also got fruit, muffins, cheese, and crackers.

Nicole and Sarah--relaxing and talking---the only bummer of the day was that the electicity went out for about an hour--several of us were in the steam shower--so that created lots of laughs as we were trying to figure out what was going on, but the ladies at Rock Haven treated us great and we had even more time to sit and relax and do nothing which many of us do not get to do anymore. The electric company soon came and fixed the problem and our massages and pedicures continued!

Brooke and Lana--our two prego friends about to get their toes done.

The beautiful ending result.

Afterwards, we headed to Ellis to have a baby shower for Lana and eat tons of wonderful food that we all brought along.

Lana's baby girl needs some headbands--all girls do!

Sarah and Brooke checking out the food and drinks.

Staying up later than usual looking at college pictures and telling college stories. We also were entertained by workout queen Jillian Michaels--we all sat and ate and watched Jillian work out--more great laughs!
We all stayed the night at Nicole's and then headed home Sunday morning as weather was calling for snow and ice--and we got it--many of us teachers had 1 or 2 days off with snow days!

Then on Febraury 17th--Lana had her baby girl--Josie Grace--what a beautiful addition to the world!
