photo diary: visiting kate in tucson

It had been far too long since I had the chance to see my gorgeous best friend Kate, so Erin and I took a mini road trip down to Tucson last week to stay with her, her sister, and their roommate.  I am so glad we did!  It was lovely to just be in Kate's company--best friends should never go this long without seeing one another...

Kate was a great host, showing us around her neck of the woods and introducing us to her friends.  It was nice to see her and her new life there.  It was so comforting to just hang out, look at shops (she got that awesome maxi dress while we were shopping the first day--Erin calls it her "adobe goddess dress"), watch the first season of Girls, eat vegan ice cream and otter pops (that's all we Arizonans eat obviously), and get crafty.  We ate lots of great food during our stay and even caught a show at The Loft, which was very cozy.  We even got some rain!

I am so incredibly lucky to have such wonderful best friends as Kate and Erin.  I love all my friends so much and already know it will be tough going back to school in less than two months.  Now if I could only get Dahlya to come home to me...
