Friends forever

I know... I haven't written for a long time. I did a five weeks course on HRM. I basically had no extra time to update my blog.

Ten years ago me and my three friends felt quite fed up with our single lives (we were 31-34 years old at that time). We decided that we would start meeting every week to pray together for God to change the situation. That spring three of us met our future husbands through the Internet. One met hers later when she moved to another city. Now we are all married and each of us has 2-3 kids aged from 9 months to 8 years old. We don't live in the same city, but our friendship is strong. Since 2005 the four of us and one other friend have met every year for "ladies weekend" where no men are allowed (unless they are less than two years old). During the weekend we talk about everything: marriage, sex, work, kids, growth, God... We make good food, go shopping, go walking and pray together.

This weekend we had our 11th ladies weekend. What a blessing it was once again!  I think that marriage is always one of our favorite topics to discuss. I just read a good article and want to share it with you... I think that it is a good reminder and it also relates to what we talked about this weekend with my friends: 10 Things Nobody Tells You About Being Married.
