dear dave...

dave thomas, founder of wendy's, somehow became a major part of my life as a senior in high school. i'm not sure how or why the tradition started, but miss bethany and i often found ourselves heading to wendy's to grab a frosty {the only item where i choose chocolate over vanilla}...
and then take a picture of ourselves with of dave...we really have so many of these pictures. i could scan and upload them to prove it, but i've gotta go get the bean from school.

we continued the tradition whenever we would see each other after high school. although the meeting just after dave had died when we were in college was a somber one, most are happy occasions. life has taken us many places - mostly bethany. she worked on a cruise line and lived in russia for a year and a half. most recently, she was in washington, d.c. where she met and was smitten by the love of her life and decided to get married while i was in st. george. because i knew i'd miss her wedding, we made sure to get together...with dave...while we were both in town again. we invited two other fantastic friends {and one cute little girl} and had a great afternoon catching up.{maren, bethany, bria, megan, haylie}

hoping these lovely ladies will realize the west coast is where it's at so we can catch up more often.
