It is with much bittersweetness that Mr. Dubs and I joined our friends Carrie and Chris in bidding adieu to Anne and Michael.
Over yummy food and drinks this weekend, we shared another night in the 'burbs together before Anne and MIchael's moving trucks arrive later this week...in route to Baton Rouge.
You may remember Anne and Michael's recent (and very fabulous) wedding. I knew when Anne married a New Orleans native she wouldn't be long for the District...I just didn't expect she and her Saint to go marching out so soon!
I made cheesecake - if by "made" you mean bought them frozen at the Giant, opened a box, poured out some caramel sauce and put them on a pretty tray.
I know Anne is hoping the new friends she will make in Baton Rouge will offer more impressive desserts when invited to dinner...
For hours we talked and laughed...and toasted all the fun times we've shared.
Anne and Michael's wedding
Anne has a carefree and whimsical spirit....she makes you want to dance.
Celebrating my 29th birthday
She makes it ok to break the rules...by, say, taking a sauna during the workday in the company gym. And photographing it...
Life/Work balance at its best
Oh, Anne...I hope you find friends in Louisiana who'll dress the part when they go to see hair bands....
or at least hold your concert signage....
Are there wineries in Baton Rouge? If fields of grapes don't bring the Arnolds for a visit, a college football field will...
My friends at the winery with out me....but I'm not a sour grape about it
There will be plenty of girls who will dress in all white with you and eat BBQ. In pearls.
As you know, near the Bayou people embrace red beans and rice. Red glasses and headbands?
Anne circa 3rd grade
Well, if they don't love that combo, know it is always welcome in Washington. You and Michael will absolutely be missed!
