Day 24 - The Other Ridgway's

I call them the "Other" Ridgway's, not in a mean way, but just so you don't get confused and think it's my parents again. See I'm doing you a favor, spelling it out so you don't even have to think about it. Yep, I'm that nice!

Look at them & their awesomness! Mark(striped shirt) & I used to hang out like EVERYDAY growing up. Besides my sisters he was the best friend I had! Those were the good ole days! I'm glad I got to go over & hang out with them. Don't get to spend a whole lot of time with them outside of work. :)


Mmmmm mmmm mmmmm... This dinner was delish! Angel Hair Pasta w/ Chicken. It was light, yet filling. Wasn't a giant fan of the carrots & broccoli in it though. I'm just not huge on cooked veggies. But I ate them and survived. ;)
