WHAT?!?! SHE CAN COOK?

Alright, so I actually have a lot to blog about. I will get to my river rafting trip in Wyoming, me and Michaela's awesome time in Idaho, and even my Alaskan cruise... eventually. lol! I don't feel like doing it right now! Now, I want to take the time to share my cooking experience with you all!

So one of my bestest friends, Rachel Dawn Porter Smith, loves to cook! And she is really good at it too! She loves it so much she even has a cooking blog.... Get in the Kitch! I recommend you all stop by and see the yummy recipes she has on there! I've tried many of them myself and they are amazing!!

Me on the other hand... do not cook! It is very rare that you see me in the kitchen except to make banana bread or some cookies or something tasty with sugar. But the other night I was feeling pretty hungry, so what did I do? I cooked! That's right! I'll say it again... I cooked!! I made an entire meal for me and Zach, which consisted of Spaghetti, peas, and garlic bread! Now, it may not sound like much, but it was pretty awesome if I do say so myself! lol!

So here is some proof! Pics of the lovely meal I made! I know it makes your mouth water, but if you really wanna try some yummy stuff stop by:

you won't be sorry! :)

Zach really likes Spaghetti!

Yummy!

I was pretty proud! lol!

HAPPY BIRTH-MONTH TO ME!!!

I have the most amazing friends in the world! Seriously! You can be jealous if you want to! But I mean it, my friends are the best! They do so much for me! I absolutely love them and this is why! Here is the lowdown:

To start off, a week before my b-day my good friend Kellie Romer took me to dinner, MJ joined us, and we went to Red Robin! I really liked it! Tasty tasty food! Although we totally forgot to tell them it was my birthday to get the free mud pie! LAME! But for sure next time we go we will!

After dinner, Kell and I were trying to decide what we wanted to do… movie? No… bowling?… no… mini golf?... hmmm…. Getting warmer… and the final decision was…. Drum roll please… Laser tag, go carts, and a shootout basketball competition! (which I totally won!) It was awesome! Kellie hasn’t done it since high school! (wow she’s old!) lol ;) I joke, but Kellie is pretty much my big sister! So I’m allowed to tease her. :)

Then we went back to her place, watched her wedding video (LOVED IT!) and had root beer floats! Lol! It was an awesome night. It was like I was turning 12! Not 22! Lol! Thanks Kell! It’s always fun to hang out and chat! LOVE YOU TONS!!!

Then on the day of my birthday is where the big surprise came. Rach and Michaela have been planning it for awhile; they just would never tell me what it is. I had been trying for weeks to get it out of them, but nothing. Not one peep! I was quite impressed they kept it a secret for as long as they did. I also tried to get other friends to tell me, but still nothing!!!

So what did they do? They took me to dinner The Roof (amazing!) and to the movies to see The Proposal! (So fun!) It was awesome! First of all, I love spending time with my friends, like I said before, they are amazing. Plus, yummy food and a cute cute movie! What is better then that? :) Nothing! It was a blast! Thank you girls!

And not to forget, my sweet mother, gave me flowers and breakfast in bed. It was a great day! I had so much fun!

Then later that week, My dad took me out to dinner… TWICE! Once at the Cheesecake Factory with my bros, and then to Tepenyaki with Marina. Mmmmmm…. Foooood…. Yummy. :)

Thanks to everyone who helped make my birth-month so great! You are true friends and I love you all!
