I know "Stetson Family Vacation" is hard for everyone financially. I know it's hard to see into the future and I know money is tight. Money is tight for all of us and I understand that. This year was going to be a lot less expensive, but still I understand. So, I think it best to not do a "Family" vacation, this time. When I say this time, this is what I mean: Our friendship is something that is so special and important to me. I want to make a lifetime of memories with all of you. I want Reagan to grow up knowing all of you and being friends with your children. As a child, I remember going on vacations with my parents friends and some of my best friends in life were my parents friends children. Besides Brian and maybe our families, you guys are who I want to take trips with and go places with. You are my best friends. Maybe you feel the same, maybe you don't. Just know that I understand that this year is tough, but we didn't take a trip last year. If we say we are going to do it next year, then don't, I am afraid we won't make an effort to plan them anymore.
On that note, what about another girls weekend. What are you thoughts on that? I have a few ideas:
- August beach trip to Georgia
- Changing of the leaves trip in October (we might be able to snag my grandparents house in Georgia)
- Macon trip just to hang out and be together (Macon is the exact 1/2 way mark from Howie to Orlando)(sorry T)
PS: These things are up towards the north because Howie seems to always have to come towards us. We should give her a break and try to go towards her.
Please know that I miss you all so much. I wish I lived closer to all of you and I wish there were more hours in the day so we could talk more (or at all) and visit more. I know our lives are busy and I know we all have other priorities, but life is short and I don't want to look back and think, "Damn, I wish I had hung out with ______more."
I love you all. Peace out!

Thanks for this thoughtful message Kate. I get what you are saying and feeling. I think that finances are tight for all but, that doesn't mean that we don't want to continue building memories and keeping up the friendship. I have always been a big fan at keeping up our "Stetson Six" friendship plus now our families. I am game for ANY of the girls weekend trips and definitely want to do a "stetson family" trip again for sure this year or next year. Sign us up in INK.
I do completely understand that life is too short...that is quite clear to me now more than ever. I must say that I could not have gotten through the last 15 months without my fam and you all...my buds. Your love and support have helped more than you know with losing my Mom. I would very much like to continue making memories with you and your sweet families. When I became your friend...I made a lifelong promise to be your friend forever. So, let's make some more special memories buds! :o)
Love you and "Can't Smile without you" ~
