Wishes and Dishes

Greetings from San Diego, California!  We are having a great time here so far with our friends Nick and Micah and it’s a really beautiful city.  Saturday was our first full day here and we went to Micah’s college graduation from California State University San Marcos.  It was a really nice outdoor ceremony and afterward [...]

Happy Friday!   Mr. Wishes and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary yesterday and went out to dinner at a new Italian restaurant we had never been to before called “Six-50″.  It was really good food and a fun atmosphere.  I had a spinach and artichoke grilled chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread and pasta salad on the [...]
