GYN Cancer Support Group Wine Tasting

Saturday night our supper club (minus a few) went to the GYN Cancer Support Group Fundraiser. It was a wine tasting and sit down dinner. It was fun for us all to get dressed up and actually go out on the town. Needless to say.... much laughing took place and fun was had by all!

To give you a little background on our supper club: It all began in October of 2004 (we moved to Augusta June 2004). I signed up for a supper club through the MCG Housestaff Auxiliary (a support group for students, residents, and fellows wives). We got randomly placed in a supper cub and we met for the first time in October. It began with 6 couples. Over time people have moved and we've added new people, but there are four couples that are the original group: the Bells, Bucklers, Ansleys, and us. Out of the these four, three of us are moving on to the next phase of our lives in a month. We have had dinner together every month for 3.5 years now. It has become part of our monthly schedule... how different it will be not seeing these people every month. We have made many, many memories together and held each others hands through deaths, births, and our husbands crazy schedules. To say that these people are "friends" is an understatement... they are our "Augusta family".

The Bucklers and Greers taking a "prom picture". At one point the kids wanted to get in the picture with us (I didn't get this one). We said we probably weren't the first couple to have prom pictures made with our children!

We actually got a picture together!!!!!

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! It is all so bittersweet these days, though, with all of you "originals" leaving us. Saturday night was one we will not soon forget, and Brad and I are both already looking forward to our May 9 dinner cruise. What is Alli going to do each month without sharing a sitter with Maddox?!?! :(
