On Monday I went out to lunch at the Dodo Restaurant (in Sugarhouse) with some of my very dear friends!  My cute friend Ali was visiting from California, so we decided to get together.

You know you have good friends when even though you haven’t seen each other for a long time….you just pick right up where you left off!  Love it!

I’ve known Melodi (brown hair) since we were in diapers, Ali (blonde hair) since 7th grade and we all became friends with Chad (the guy, lol.) in college.  We did everything together and made a lot of awesome memories.  I love my friends.

Anyway, the Dodo restaurant was awesome!  I ordered the Spinach Salad (spinach and spring mix tossed with cranberries, gorgonzola cheese, candied walnuts, apples and grapes with an orange vinaigrette) and added grilled chicken on top.  I loved it so much!

I requested my dressing on the side and I only used about 1/2 of one of those containers.  I felt like there was so many yummy things on there that it didn’t even need a lot of dressing!

I ate about half this salad and then had the other half for lunch the next day too.  Love it.

Here are some more pics…

And just for kicks, I scrounged up some pics from our college days!  I feel old because these were taken in the days before digital cameras!  Freak!

Here’s Me, Ali and Melodi with our friend Missy…

I love my friends.  Life flies by so quickly!  These pics from our college days were taken about 17 years ago!  HOLY COW!  I can’t believe I’m so old.  It seems like I was 18 about 5 years ago.  Crazy.

I guess we just need to remember to cherish each day and enjoy each stage in life.

Life is good.

Love you all. xoxo
