We became friends just over ten years ago in our (very) late teens when we were both young Girl Guide leaders just out of high school although our paths had crossed before this. Since then we have had seven children between us (currently aged between 2 years and 12 years) and have run Guide units separately and together. Between us we have studied Education, Law and History, had a few business ventures, engaged in other types of work (volunteer and paid), had the fun of bridesmaid duties, supported each other through pregnancies, family and marital problems and health issues.
A trip to Europe, and in particular to the two World Centres found there not to mention the two World Centres out of Europe, has been part of our 'one day' talking for so long I think I had almost forgotten it was something we could actually do. We have finally decided to put a date to our dream and change it from merely dreaming to a goal.
A Princess Party to celebrate the Royal Wedding followed by our (almost) weekly multi-hour phone conversation, combined with a sudden coinciding motivation and we decided to set our date for 10 years time. Every journey must begin with a single step, but we know that every step towards a goal is part of the adventure .... and this is where we are now! And we are determined to make this decade a journey of a lifetime, a long time before we even think about setting foot on that plane!
To finish ... some pictures of us all princessed up to celebrate the Royal Wedding in style.
