i traveled up to columbus this weekend with this girl, mia. a good friend from high school. in high school we spent most days together, but since college we haven't stayed in touch. but it didn't take much to feel like close friends again. it was so fun to drive up with her and spend all saturday enjoying columbus. 

we had jeni's icecream, which is a must in columbus, we also went to easton, an outdoor shopping mall and ate at northstar which is another favorite. (we were too busy eating and fully enjoying this that the only pictures i took weren't that good, and were mostly meant to send to jordan!) 

my favorite part of the trip was definitely seeing these two girls. 

it was a big surprise to see nicki, one of my closest friends. she just got back from a trip to africa and i didn't get a chance to see her before she left. it was so good to do a little catching up, hugging and a lot of dancing. 

and on to the wedding, which was beautiful...

leigh has been such a great friend to me through so many years and it was such a blessing to be able to see her marry ben. i need to post the pictures leigh took at our wedding -- she is so talented. and look at her, she was such a beautiful bride. 

i wish i had more of the decorations and such, it was gorgeous. i will eventually get better of taking actual photographs of my mental ones. 

here's a snapshot of nicki and i at the photobooth, ha!
