Our New Years Trip To LA...

After our extremely busy Christmas holiday, Ashly and I were able to break away for a little "Mommy and Daddy" time! It was a much needed short vacation! We went to LA to visit our very good friends, Wendy and Frank!

Our plane left DFW on Wednesday, December 31st at 6:15 a.m. Luckily, once we got there, we had all day to rest while Wendy and Frank were at work. As soon as Wendy and Frank got off work the New Years Eve festivities began. We went over to their friend Malanie's place and cooked out for dinner. Then we went to a party in the Hollywood Hills. The party was fun but we didn't want to be on the streets too late so we took our little group (of about 10) and went back to Wendy and Frank's place and finished the night off there!

The great thing about this trip to LA is that we didn't do a whole lot. We hardly spent any money and we relaxed for three days. The second night, we went to dinner with Wendy, Frank and their good friends, Peter and Kelly (from New York). What a neat couple. After dinner the guys played pool while the girls just hung out. It was fun.

We were having so much fun spending time together!







On Friday I got to meet Wendy's mother and little sister. We met them in Long Beach and had lunch. That was neat because it was a city that I had not seen in California yet. It is a very cute city!

Friday night Wendy, Frank, Peter, Kelly, Melanie, Ashly and I all went to this really cool club/bar called the Crown Bar in West Hollywood. We had so much fun hanging out, dancing and taking silly pictures! They had a great DJ that played fun music!




Our sweet friends, Frank and Wendy! Can you believe we met them in April 2006 in Cancun, Mexico? We are the closest of friends. They have visited us 3 times in Texas and we have been to California two times to see them...crazy huh?

Saturday we were sad to say goodbye to Wendy and Frank but very excited to get home and see our girls. Ashly and I had such an amazing New Years this year. I am believing that 2009 will be our BEST year ever. Anything will be better than 2008! Thank you Jesus for a new year!!!!!
