I woke up this morning and spent the day getting ready for a visit from a few folks.

My very good friends Carolyn and Katelyn, along with Katelyn’s fiance Nick came for dinner, drinks and fun. I made beef and three bean chili, guacamole and I got a loaf of rosemary olive bread. We enjoyed some wine and relaxed and enjoyed some pop music videos. We had our very own TRL starring 2014’s top hits.

Most importantly, it was really special to spend some quality chill time with these two friends who have been so supportive to me over the years. I feel so lucky to have such close and caring friends, even if I don’t get to see them everyday.

The joy of friendship is one of my favorites. I love my friends so much and am very grateful to have them in my life.
