September in Paris

Tomorrow we're off to Paris, which would be exciting enough on its on, but much more importantly, we're meeting up with Andrea and Deena.  

Andrea and I have been friends for more almost fifteen years and I love her dearly.  

(Yes, one day soon, I will stop illustrating every third post with photos from our wedding, but it's what I've got...)

When we met, she was a hotshot ad sales person at Better Homes and Gardens (which she still is, though for Men's Vogue) and I was a lowly research assistant (which I am no longer).  

She was kind to me, most likely because I helped her out while complimenting her shoes, which are always fabulous.  

And we've been dear dear friends ever since. 

When she emailed and said she and Deena were going to be in Paris and invited Husband and me to join them, I couldn't have been more thrilled. 

I've been needing an old friend visit and badly.
