It felt like no time had passed at all. One minute, we were college girls chasing adventures and laughing about everything under the sun and the next, we were back together, only this time with her three kids running around, joining in on the fun like we hadn’t missed a beat.
The weekend was the perfect mix of chaos and calm. I watched my friend juggle mom life like a total pro getting her kids ready for school with that effortless rhythm only experience brings. Then our mornings began the best way possible: coffee adventures. We hopped between cute little cafés, hunting for the best fall flavors all weekend long.
Between latte runs, we hit the outlets for some retail therapy and ended up at The Big Chill House for dinner and drinks talking about life, Myrtle Beach, and everything in between, with plenty of laughter sprinkled in.
The next day, she had to work, so I gave myself a “me day.” I took myself out to eat, wandered around the area, and got lost in a good book the kind of slow day that fills your soul.
Then came Friday ..Halloween! We started at her daughter’s Halloween parade (cutest thing ever) before rushing back to get ready for her friend’s Halloween party. The whole neighborhood went all out: kids trick-or-treating around the complex while parents handed out candy and shots. Later, we headed back to her friend’s house for more food, laughter, and maybe another round (or two).
On my last day, we took a long walk on the beach, the waves rolling in as we shared one last heart-to-heart. Of course, we couldn’t leave without one more coffee adventure before I headed to the airport.
Myrtle Beach wasn’t just a getaway it was a reminder that real friendship doesn’t fade. It grows with you, evolves with the seasons of your life, and somehow feels both brand new and deeply familiar all at once. I loved making new memories with her and her family, and I can’t wait to make even more in the future.
