Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaloha!
This past week my old bestie Melissa came for a visit. It was great to spend time with a girlfriend who gets me so well. We've known eachother since kindergarden, friends since third grade, best friends since Junior High.
The following is a photo journey of our week :)

Sole for a Soul. Buy a Flip Flop bottle of wine and they'll give
a pair of shoes to a helpless soul who needs them most |
