Christoffer & Farrah

Two of my very best friends, Christoffer and Farrah, came over to my parents' house for dinner this week as I was working in Orange County for a couple days.  I've missed Christoffer greatly, and it was incredibly wonderful to see him!  We chatted while getting dinner ready, and my opposite-of-shy family bombarded them with questions and jokes.  The summer evening was perfect, so we piled our plates up with pasta (and my dad's homemade pasta sauce that was on the stove for over 6 hours!) and headed out to the backyard.  It was one of those evenings in which I feel really blessed for everything I have.  The wine helped too.
