Time spent with my bestie soothes my soul

My daughter's future boyfriend

Two birthdays!

Happy Birthday to my two favorite end-of-July babies. 31 and 2 are darn good ages to be, if you ask me.

One week ago today...

They became a family of four. Congrats you guys! Much much love to all of you, from me!

Best friends and their bellies

Girls getaway!

In 2005 these three girls had a crazy night together...


Five years later, we made it happen all over again.


Next time, let's not wait for 5 years girls. Love ya!

Monica's baby shower, part deux

Look who came to town!

There are few things in life better than quality time with your best friend. Thanks for visiting me, Monica!

I miss my friend

In June of 2005, the month before Monica got married, and the month before I met Dave, the two of us went on a cross country road trip. We had an amazing adventure!

Here are just a few cute pics from our journey... back when we were young and life was simple!!! Well, not exactly, but it sounded good. :)


From the Atlantic Ocean...






To the Pacific.

Happy Birthday Bestie!!!

My best friend turns 30 today... 30 on the 30th... it's her golden birthday!

An amazing woman, an amazing age... may you have a glorious day and a wonderful year my dear friend!!!! Birthday hugs from Amsterdam.

Slow down lady! Those blades are going to get you in trouble!

Guess what my best friend is doing today!?

I'm so proud of her. What an awesome accomplishment!

Only 6 more weeks!

A birthday present to myself

If I could have had one thing on my birthday that I didn't already have, what would it be... to spend the day with my best friend Monica and her adorable son Erik! So, what did I do... I bought a ticket to go to LA for a long weekend in June for a quick visit! YAY! I mean, look at this kid (playing in the park with his grandma), is he the cutest thing, or what???

I can't wait to see you guys!!!

Look at this adorable boy!

It's time for a post about my favorite baby boy. Look at little Erik! Is he the cutest thing or what? Living all the way over here in Amsterdam there are very few things I miss more than watching my best friend's baby grow up. I love you Mon and Erik!!!

Because it's MONday

What little guy do I miss the most??? Erik!


I just wanted to make a little shout out to my bestie and her bean. Miss and love you both!
 

Where is he jetting off to now?

As MONday comes to a close over here in Amsterdam, I MUST MUST MUST post my new favorite picture of my favorite baby boy. Erik, you're the cutest thing!!!

my favorite little guy!

My best friend and my favorite 4 month old baby visited us in San Diego this weekend. Is he the cutest or what!!!? Love you guys!

It's MONday today!

And, do you know what MONday means??? Yes, yes, it means it is MONICA day... and now it also means it is Erik and Daniel day too! I am so excited for this little family to arrive tomorrow and for the wedding craziness to begin.

I'm home... and missing my best friend
