That's What Friends Are For

On Friday, I got to hang out with my friend, Michelle.
We had to drive around to a few places...run some errands, etc...

That evening we all met up at the Bridgeport theater to watch:
(on OPENING NIGHT!!)
(Review coming SOON! ;)

I spent Friday night with my dear friend, Breana...
and Saturday, I got her all to myself!! (well, for a few hours...the morning and afternoon, and then a couple other church friends barged in ;)

These are some photos that Alfonzo captured on our little outing.

~*~

We went to a delightful little coffee house (that Bre really likes!) called Ava's.


I liked it too. ;)

 We shared a German Chocolate Cheesecake...heavenly!

 
So good!!

And of course, we had to have our coffee. ;)

 Mmhmm!!

Then we headed to Bridgeport (where we had been the night before) and I got some GORGEOUS shots of my GORGEOUS friend!!♥




She is so...talented in being a model!!



I love the perspective of this picture.

 Even when she's being goofy, she's still beautiful.



 Amazing eyes, right?


 So dang beautiful! 

 Smelling the pretty flower...


 Eyes = stunning!!

 I just had to play around with this ^ picture more than once! :D


 Posing with the models...I think Bre totally outdoes them, don't you?

 Alfonzo wanted to get a picture of us together...in the mirror.  (He loves mirrors!)



 Gah!!  She has a perfect profile!!  Come to think of it...just about all my friends do. :P

 So beautiful!! ♥

Then, we went to Anthropology...
had to get a few snaps there ;)



Stunning.

 So cute! <3

Isn't that pillow just perfect??  I'd take a different colored chair, though.  Just sayin'! :D



This was a fluffly white afghan or something...I'm not sure what it was! Anyway, it was fun to take this picture :D


The word 'Paris' caught my eye!! ;)


Comforters hanging on display.  Purrrty!

Journals galore!!
Don't you love all the colors this store has in it??



These horse statues are huge, so appreciate my effort in trying to get a good photo :P haha





Just seeing this sign, made me do it...
you should too. :)

For some reason, I really like this shot.
She was turning her head to look at me, but the focus is good and I think she looks sassy-friendly. :)


Yes, okay, so I played around with color effects. :D


These were real bamboo trees!!

 Okay, isn't she just beautiful??  I can't say it enough!!


Love you, Bre!!  Thanks for such an amazing time.
Happy birthday!!  I pray that the LORD blesses you with many more years of life...so I can still call you my friend for many years to come.

 By the way, today is Bre's birthday...wouldn't hurt to leave a comment wishing her a happy one ;)
