Monday Night Girls

If I continue to tell stories about the girls from Bible study, then I think I'm going to have to start using code. I cannot type out "one of the Bible study girls" behind each girl's name. There are 11 of them. And I cannot use an acronym like BSG. We use acronyms for everything at work, so much so that I never know exactly where the meeting is or who I'm meeting with. The joy of acronyms.

So from now on, they are The Girls.

If I didn't label people we wouldn't be having this conversation. (I label everyone--for clarification, of course.) Examples: Courtney, my best friend from college; Larissa, my best friend from work; Jason, my friend from the womb (Our moms were pregnant at the same time. He's been my friend since I was entered the scene.); Lainey, my four-year-old friend, and so forth. All that to say, I have a great need to label the girls as one of the girls.


I adore this picture from Jessica's shower. Here's why, there are four really nice ladies in this picture who are not in our beloved study group. And you can totally pick them out because they are not laughing. They're simply smiling, just trying to make it through this picture posing process with strangers they met a mere hour prior.

Could we be obnoxious? In this shot we are pretty much the equivalent of 7th grade girls at the Homecoming Dance who've just been asked to dance with the cutest guy in school.
