this weekend was for

trying new beers friday night with my guy before the marc maron show [which was just okay, we were a bit disappointed] followed by a late night snack at snoopy’s: because sometimes you just want need a hot dog with hot fries.

saturday morning was for a long trail run, and breakfast together before parting ways for rhyan’s basketball game. while they lost the game, it was against one of the best teams in the league - so that somehow made it okay.

a phone call from a good friend late that afternoon turned into last minute girls night, complete with a ton of laughs + cold beers. [and maybe some dancing] just what we all needed, a fun and fancy-free saturday night out.

while sunday brought a beautiful warm day, it also brought a hellacious hangover. all i could do was curl up on the couch + watch football all afternoon, shame on me!

needless to say, this weekend was a good one!

my girls.

this was taken saturday night at the busy bee, with my dear friends erika and charlotte. both of whom i happen to work with … yep, you heard right, friends and coworkers!

we had a wonderful time out on the town, and this picture sums up just how blessed i am. to have such great girlfriends who are always there when i need them, to talk to when things are bad and when things are good. to laugh with, the cry with, to dance with.

what girlfriends are for. to be there for each other through thick and thin, highs and lows. these two are right up there at the top of my list. for so many reasons.

here’s to another year of friendship, love, and lots of laughter!
