Thank you for being a friend...

When I started planning my trip up to Washington, I knew that I wanted to try and see as many friends and family as I could, since I didn't know when I would make it back up again. I was pretty successful, and really enjoyed seeing everyone.

On the way up to Washington we stopped overnight in Boise so we could see some of the Tom Earl crew. It was awesome that our visit matched up with Mandi's trip as well, so we got to her and her kids as well! Q and McKenna became fast friends.  It's always so fun being with these guys.

Broden is just the cutest, Q and he had such a fun time playing together. 

Of course Q couldn't wait to get her hands on baby Demry.

Before heading to Courtney's wedding reception, I had a sushi dinner date with the Moses Lake crew: This was a our usual beginning to Friday nights, and it was fun to meet up again and see everyone. These people make me laugh.

We thought this looked like an ad for a new comedy on NBC

Emily had bought Q this cute necklace!

Met up with one of my bestest friends from high school that I, unfortunately, hadn't seen in almost 20 years...and it was just like it always was:

Adila bought Q this Carebear, that Q now sleeps with every night

We spent a couple days with Camery and her awesome family, in beautiful Maple Valley. I have missed my Cam Cam, and I was so happy we got to spend some time hanging out. Of course, I didn't get a picture of us, but I did get one of these two cute girls who hit it off instantly. It was hard to say goodbye!

Of course I couldn't leave Washington without checking in and hanging out with my Melanie. It was so fun to sit and talk (and laugh). Melanie is one of my favorite people on the planet, and it's always fun being with her. 

We also spent the night at Mindi's house, where we had a delicious dinner, hung out, and Q made a new BFF. Mindi sure knows how to win a girl over.

Gotta love good friends.
