This is my friend [Shlee] - handsome little Brit isn't he? We (Shlee, Roomie, Brenz, and i) took a little hike up Fryman the other day with the intention of having a lovely, relaxing little picnic at the top. If only i had more realistically remembered Fryman as being more difficult to climb (or maybe i'm just that out of shape)... Needless to say, our little hike was not as relaxing as i originally thought it would be. But it was still more than lovely :)

And i do believe this would be an opportune time to mention how lucky i feel to have such amazing friends in my life. Not only are they each incredible, intelligent, interesting, talented, charming, witty, radiant, beautiful-inside-and-out people in their own right, but they also are better friends to me than i deserve. So a big thank you to my friends - for making me laugh, for picking me up when i'm down, for encouraging me, for pushing me, for loving me, and for inspiring me each and every day.

all my love, xx
