Girls Lunch // Lifestyle

Today was a fresh change of pace from the norm of everyday. We are very close with our neighbors  

and got very blessed to have them next store. We all went out to lunch, because, their daughter, Rachel, actually, lives in Scotland and is home for the holiday! She leaves Thursday to return and we made sure of it to have some girl time before she left.

I was very blessed by how Rachel also made it a "bridal" type lunch, since she won't be able to make it to any of the celebrations with my wedding due to living across the pond ;) Thank you so much! 

We went to the "No Frill Grill" in Norfolk, Va and ate to our hearts content. 

It was such a great way to spend a Tuesday and to get more time with Rachel before she goes back! 

Here's to 2013 and continuing friendships!

 Jahnel and I went on a photo adventure a couple days after I first got my Canon 5D Mark ii in      December! I was so excited and little did I know, Jahnel loves photography too! 

We work together at Chick-fil-A and have become great friends. She brings so much life to our restaurant and I am so thankful we have become friends! We decided we wanted to get lunch together and through that, we discovered we both had a passion for photography! So, we went out for Wendy's Chili....best. chili. ever. am I right!? Then, went our on photo adventure! 

The pictures below are photos we captured that day. We even met a funny sailor who took our picture...it wasn't even blurry! ;) Jahnel took the photos of me, and I love how they turned out! 

I love all of the new people and friends 2012 brought into my life and I am looking forward to fostering those relationships in 2013 and all the new people I will met this year! 

Happy New Year friends!
