...and Old Friends

As I write Quinn's "Little Friends" post I find myself wishing for her everything I have experienced from great friendship. Next weekend one of my dearest friends, Ashley, is getting married to a wonderful man (Mike). Ashley is also my oldest friend, not in age but in friendship. We have been friends since we were two. It is amazing isn't it? To have a cherished friendship last so long and only strengthen and become more treasured over time. I love Ashley so dearly and I am so excited for her adventure and journey ahead of her in marriage. Todd and I are thrilled for them to experience all of the amazing joys that they will find as their journey ahead together unfolds. We wish them all the best!

...and today.

Ashley and Mike are getting married in beautiful San Diego, as many of you know to be one of my favorite places. We also have our girls' excursion/trip this upcoming week as well, the one we always treat the bride-to-be too. (The girls wisked me away to the Bahamas before our wedding.) With Ashley's destination wedding, we are stealing her away for the few days before to go to the beautiful wine vineyards of Temecula. It will be another memorable trip with friends and I'm looking forward to it. :)

Of course this is my first time and trip away from our little girl and of course I'll be pulling back the tears to leave her so little, but I know that she is in very good hands with grandma and grandpa, and safe here at home with all of her own things.

With the trip later this week, there probably won't be any new posts until after Mother's Day (for those of you that check in with us regularly :)). So I would also like to give big Cheers and Congrats to the new Bride and Groom!
