shopping with the marriott women

i love shopping. and i love meeting the women b works with and the wives of the men he works with. we have really been blessed to get to know so many wonderful people through marriott. i was invited to go shopping the jean...the gm's wife, patricia, and christina (who both work at the marriott). it was so fun. we started off with lunch at my favorite restaurant...the olive garden.

i had 4 bowl of their yummy salad and a bowl of minestrone soup. i knew i would eat a lot of salad so i got something less filling to go with it. oh it was so good. the salad, breadsticks, fried mozerella sticks, fried ravioli...everything was soooooo yummy. then it was off to ONE of the malls in reno.

i got one of b's christmas presents fromt he kids...can't write it here because sometimes he reads my blog...sorry, hon! and a sweater for me at aeropostle. it was so fun to hand out with the girls and just shop. we went into a dozen stores and browsed, mostly, but talked and talked. it was great to get to know them a little better. by the end of our day...it was 5pm...we decided that we needed to take a girls weekend to vegas. they want to go in january. they asked what i thought and i said, 'as long as b can be home with the kids i'm all for a girls trip.' i had a really good time. thanks jean for inviting me. it was so good to get to know you all! and thank honey for watching the kids and putting up the christmas lights. you're the BEST!
