Mikis and I feel super lucky to have some of the best friendships! One's rich with memories and love. Unfortunately, many of my (rachel's) closest girlfriends trails have lead them outside of Arizona, making reunions with them that much more special. This past weekend Mikis and I headed to Chicago with his parents to visit the other half of the fam (his brother, sister in-law and niece all live there) and to celebrate our beautiful niece Hayley's 6th birthday. Between American Girl tea parties and family dinners, Mikis and I were able to meet up with three of my besties, Cortney, Erica, and Liz. Although our trip was short lived, it was truly memorable and so good for the soul. Here are a few highlights of our fun filled weekend. These memories will have to sustain us until our next reunion, thanks for making it such a great weekend ladies!
