It's A Wonderful LIfe

Can't believe it's already this time of year again!?  Time really does fly.  I'm so glad Danielle shared this talent with us, and we were able to see her living her dream so much through the years.  I don't think any of us missed a year seeing Thriller and It's a Wonderful Life when Danielle was in it!  What a fun tradition.  I'm sure they're missing you this year too Danielle. 

And don't you just love the title of this show?  It really is true.  It's such a wonderful life.  Even though we each may have different struggles and things going on in life, it really is a wonderful life!  We are so blessed!



I am so Thankful for each of you!

Always, but especially this time of year, I am so thankful for each of you.  We are so blessed to have such good, strong friendships, even though we may not talk everyday.  I feel so blessed.  Thank you for being such good examples to me in your everday lives.  I miss you, and am so very thankful for the closeness we share. 

Miss, as she's persued her dream of obtaining her Master's degree, and is now teaching!  She also may be the most thoughtful person I know...she never seems to miss a beat!  Danielle, is the most genuine person I have ever known.  She would drop anything in a heartbeat to help you.  Rachel is always up for a laugh and may be the most sweet and tender of us all!  Whit never seems to forget anything, from a birthday, to a thank you, she always remembers what is going on your life!  Allie is definately the most whitty.  She always has a story up her sleeve to tell you, and make you giggle your worries away.  Laura is the first little mommy of the bunch, and is always up for an adventure.  I am grateful for each of you today, and always.  Hope you're enjoying your day! 



San Francisco

It was so much fun seeing Danielle for an afternoon.  The hours seem to go so quickly when we're together.  And she has the cutest house!  Danielle, post a photo of your new couch!  Can't wait to see what you kept describing.  And post photos of your entire house while you're at it.  Including your elevator.  :)  (Why didn't we take more pictures together?)

Birthday shout out!

Who doesn't love Lesley Jane.  I know this is a day late but we just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to  the best friend a girl could ask for... She's the best lip syncer, hiccup laugher, secret keeper, honest advice giver, and country song cryer with the BIGGEST heart :)  We love you Les.  Happy Birthday.

San Diego and Balboa

El and I went to San Diego over Labor Day, for a little trip before we met up with my family for the annual Balboa Island vacation. It was so much fun to be in San Diego. We were able to go to all of our favorite restaurants, go to Coronado, meet up with some of our good friends, and just enjoy being together. It was perfect!

At the Hotel Del!

On our 'usual' Friday date night in La Jolla. 

We loved going to La Jolla to dinner and to walk around the galleries at night.  It was the perfect weather for a gallery stroll.  Remember Miss... we took you one Friday night?  SO much fun!!

Of course we had to go to the Crab Cooker... multiple times!

And In-N-Out, for those of us who don't live in California, Vegas and now Salt Lake.

Just the girls hanging out on Balboa Island.  

Some day we're all going to have to meet here... someday!  (Or anywhere.  I'll meet wherever!)  When?  Next year?  2 years?  3?  When all the hubby's are out of school?  Let me know, I'll be there!
