On Friday night, a bunch of my girlfriends from high school got together for dinner and dessert at Julianne’s new Arlington home! It was a nice get-together to both welcome me back to the area as well as to celebrate our friend Mimi’s birthday and recent engagement. I hadn’t seen some of the girls in over a year, so it was so great to come together and catch up and what’s been going on in our lives. Everyone’s been undergoing really exciting changes in their careers and personal lives! 🙂 Special thanks to Juli for hosting, organizing, and for taking the following pictures!

Thank you also to Dan for watching Mio that evening so that I could have a lovely relaxing time with my friends! 🙂
