Don't Rain on My Parade...

How could I forget???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABS!

Hello, Gorgeous! :)

If you didn't know I was a fan, now you know!

Tag Team, Back Again!

I made a heroic trek back to P-town on Thursday. Yes, Provo, Utah... Brigham Young University... The Lord's University. ;) And it was SO FUN! And I was pretty impressed with my "seeing as many people as I could" skills.

The intent was to go for Alyssa's graduation, and on my way...

I met up with my fave cousin, Emily Anne Earl. :) LOVE HER! And it was fun seeing her and Matt's cute apartment. And we did what all girls should-- we went to The Chocolate. YUM! What I thoroughly enjoyed about this place is that you can get a PIECE OF CAKE! Sometimes that's exactly what you need, and that's what I did. A piece of cake and a glass of milk. Holla. And we definitely had some good chatting all throughout this adventure.

Then I drove to the far side of Provo and met up with my favorite Disney roommate: Christa! Oh, how I adore this girl. I've been a lame friend, because she's been home from her mission for about 2 years, and I haven't even seen in her once! I decided that I really value her friendship and I her to be one of my current friends, not one of my old friends, and we had a blast! We ate at Brick Oven, I got to meet her hilarious fiance, and we walked down Disney World memory lane and caught each other up on the latest. It was magical. She is the bomb and she is getting married in less than a week!!!

Then I ran over to my girl, Holla Holly's house to bestow some musical gifts upon her. :) And I got to see Flan! What a treat! And he still cracks me up! The weekend before I really got to hang with Holly, Julie, Corbin, and my new boyfriend, Jack. He is the cutest kid I have ever seen!!! In P-Town Holly gave me the cutest gift, and I think some people are going to really get a kick out of it. :) She knows me so well!

Then I finally made it to Alyssa's place where we chatted, learned about leprosy, and laughed at Saturday Night Live skits. FUN! The next day was her graduation, and it was so exciting! I got to hang with her cute mom, who is such a joy to be around. We clapped for everyone, then cheered for Alyssa, and took lots of pictures. I was even inspired to really go after my Master's... so we'll see how I work that all out!! Then we went to JDawgs for lunch!!! Let's face facts, that is the best dang hot dog in the world, and I've missed it. Then we went to another delightful place... The Cocoa Bean Cafe! WOW! In my life so far, I think this is my favorite cupcake place. It was delish and had lots of fun flavors. And they have fun signature drinks that I would LOVE to try. Welp, looks like I need to go down there again. ;) And I think I need to give a shout out to the Malt Shoppe next time. I can't find a banana creme pie shake like their's, or a hawaiian shaved ice. P-Town really is a blessed place!

Other than that, I have been continuing to cook up a storm! Banana Chocolate Bread, my own beurre blanc sauce (holla at ya 23rd floor), and today Lentil Soup with Chard. Pretty tasty my friends. Thanks to Hollz for the lentil inspiration! I'm excited to try her recipes!!!

And last week I went to the most magical event of the year: Miss Paige Smart's wedding. It was a dream and it was so fun to be running around like a crazy person with Colleen and Jennie-- ah those good old event center days. :) It was really nice that Paige trusted us so much with the setup and such. I really do miss planningweddings. She had all the great ideas, and we set it up! The lemonade stand was to die for, the food was delectable, and the bride was absolutely glowingly gorgeous. I love that girl! I'm so happy for her and happy that she is Mrs. Paige Moore. They are adorable.
