a few weekends ago, two of my best pals janelle and ann-marie came down to redondo to visit our new digs.  we went to manhattan beach for dinner where we dined at lemonade (our favorite), walked along the pier, and snapped lots of photos of the gorgeous sunset…and each other.  this tends to happen when you get 3 bloggers in the same place, HA!  as i get older, i have been thinking about how much i really, truly appreciate my friendships with my girlfriends.  being married is the best, but every girl still needs time with her ladies!  i’ve known these girls since elementary school and high school and we just know each other SO well.  being back in california i have loved getting to see them more often without the time restraints of a temporary visit.  i am especially looking forward to ann-marie’s wedding coming up this october!!  lots of celebratory festivities are coming up real soon for this beautiful bride-to-be and this means two things: 1) lots of fun times with all of our high school friends and 2) lots of crafting.  both of which make me very happy.  thanks for coming down to visit me, gals!  more adventures coming right up…california, i love you!
