Girls just want to have fun!

Next week I am having to say goodbye to one of my really good friends on the island. They are moving to their next duty station. If I had a dollar for all the people who have come in and out of my life in the military I would be a rich women. I hate goodbyes so much, however goodbye parties are always fun. So we arrange a whole evening of fun with 9 girls from my old neighborhood and planned it all behind our friends back. I showed up on her door step at 4pm. She was just getting ready to paint her military housing walls back to white, but I shoved her a box from the Gap containing a new outfit I had bought her for the evening. Told her to get in the shower and we were leaving in an hour. We all gathered outside for a group shot before we left and then we blindfolded her and all squeezed into one van. Thank God for mini van moms! Our first stop was pedicures! Nothing like a little pampering to start off the evening. When we arrived in the parking lot we looked like a bunch of clowns that just kept coming and coming out of the van. Not to mention we were dragging around a girl in a blind fold. After all our toes looked cute as can be we went to one of my fave restaurants on the island, Brew Moon. We had appetizer of calamari, Kalua pork quesadias, and coconut crab dip with plantation banana chips. We had drinks of martinis mojitos, a margaritas to name a few and took turns sampling everyone's. Then we each ordered a full meal. I practically had to be rolled out of there I was so full. We all talked and giggled until 10:30, and like the old ladies that we are called it a night! It was a great time, I just wish we were celebrating under different circumstances!
