I spent the weekend with over 20 friends in the North Carolina mountains. We were celebrating the wedding of two amazing people who decided to continue the after party for three days. No big deal.

It was great to not only see people I hadn't seen for months, but to relax and just be. There were group hikes, trips to a local brewery, movie nights in the home theater, naps, and just about anything else we wanted to do.

But my favorite was night two, when we all sat around and played perhaps the most complicated (and fun) drinking game that's ever been invented. We called it Communion. The rules are far too complicated to go into (and I don't actually know them). It the main premise is that you take a shot from a communion tray, and the number written on the bottom of your glass, dictates the next thing you do. And let me tell you, we did it all. There were blind folds, tongue twisters, a game of Statues (or Don't Make Me Laugh), some pretty great charades, several people getting

'Iced' , and at some point and time all of us tried to pick up a paper bag off of the floor with our mouths.

Now I have some pretty great friends. They aren't afraid to be silly or have fun at any expense (usually in some form of humiliation). But my favorite thing about this game was that everyone was there in the moment. We woke up this morning with no pictures of the crazy things we did, no Instagram stories, no live tweets. No one had their phone in hand. Everyone was all there, giving all of their head space to this game invented by one of us. Everyone committed to being blindfolded if needed, or pretended to be a velociraptor, learned how to play 'Bunnies', drank a Smirnoff Ice or anything required of them for the game.

And the laughing. There was SOOOOOOO much laughing. Not one round went by without some chuckles or some one actually rolling on the floor laughing. There was such a sense of togetherness and comradery**. No one felt stupid or uncool because they couldn't do something. There was an immense sense of pride and satisfaction when a particularly tricky task was completed, even if you were just the one cheering from the side lines. Some of the people playing were my best friends, and some were friends of friends that I'd only met once or twice, but in that room, we were a team. A unit. A family. And I know I'll remember that feeling for a long long time.

Here's the video for Bunnies, because I know you are all dying to play

**Spell Check doesn't recognized comradery as a word and wants me to use comradely. Which isn't right spell check.
