Crawfish Festival

Damie, Laura, and Joy- fellow bloggers, friends, and Memphis triathletes participating in arm strengthening by drinking some beer at the Crawfish Festival.

How lucky I am to have a good group of friends, training partners, and party buddies right by me in Memphis. When Dave and I were forced away from New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina, I left every single friend behind. Some were displaced so far away I don't know if I will ever see them again. Memphis was sad and lonely for me...for a while. But, somehow I stumbled upon a great group of friends, and my time in Memphis has been good and fulfilling.

So here we are doing what we do best- enjoying life and each other's company. I see these girls most days of the week and it never gets old. We are each so different, and we compliment each other well. Yeah to girlfriends and beer!

Exactly - yay to girlfriends and beer! Cheers! I am so lucky to have so many amazing girlfriends in Memphis - you guys are my family here! :)

I'm the luckiest-- here I was already in Memphis and you guys came to train with me and be my friends! Don't ever ever move, ok?

It is so great to see you have a life outside of PT school and triathlon. I had no idea you lived in NOLA! Were you in PT school then? We have a guy in our class that joined us right after the hurricane. I think he's glad it happened now, based on the quality of the PT programs (I forget which school he was at). I am so glad you found such awesome friends so quickly. It makes all the difference!
