yogurt with a friend.

7.13.2011

Yesterday I did something I hadn't done in a while.
I drove down the street of my childhood best friend.
As the wheels turned, a flood of emotion poured over me. I remembered the walks home from school. The canned food drives, the secrets shared in the alley...
I was sad those days were gone, grateful for God's gift of memory, and happy that right there at the end of the street, was my best friend to greet me.
She hopped in my car and we reminisced about the past, updated each other on our present, and still shared dreams about the future.

 After all, what are best friends for?

Kayaking at Tempe Town Lake.
Our First Dates.
Just being Champions.
Trips to Utah.
High School Graduation.
Exploring Ireland.
Celebrating.

{Wardrobe} Wednesday: Stop Staring!

Does this dress look familiar?
Perhaps you remember seeing it on the adorable Kristine a few weeks ago.
It is a wonderful dress from a wonderful rockabilly clothing store. 
It's comfy, long enough and adorable and it just rocks my world with a retro flare!
Plus it's nice and stretchy, so if you have a 'food baby' (or a small, real baby) it is oh-so-accommodating. 
(Please keep in mind, I am not pregnant, that was just a shout out to Sydney, not a clue into my personal life.)
You simply MUST check out their website!
It offers a wide range of sizes for Small to 3X, so all may partake.
They're dresses are a bit more expensive than I usually pay for a Sunday dress, but I sure wish I would have known about them back when I was looking for Homecoming/Prom/Bridesmaid Dresses and I'll definitely keep them in mind for future special events.
