ReplyDeleteWow, so cool that you have these photos, but then again, knowing how you guys roll at your house, why wouldn't you? :) Happy belated birthday again! I hope you had a good time. Wish we were at Changs together for dinner or something cool. Love and miss you girlies!
ReplyDeleteMeghann.... You just had to go and mention Changs, didn't you. Hmmph. Now I want it. Bad. ha ha ha... Is there a Changs halfway between us somewhere?? :)
ReplyDeleteI know the first Chang's EVER is right down the street from me and that Jon still know the whole staff from working there so he can probablty hook us up. ;) I guess we'll just have to plan a PHX trip for all you girlies...it'll be like old times!
