I went home this past weekend for Easter and got to enjoy the always lovely company of friends and family. In keeping with our "every weekend we're all home" tradition, my closest friends from high school days, Heather, Christy, Phil and I went back and forth on deciding where we wanted to go out to eat, but of course decided on Carabbas, as always.
We went for their yummy dessert and drinks, and look at this spread!
The most divine tiramisu I've ever had in my life.
One of the largest lattes I've ever had
Wine
Old friends
A night of laughs, reminiscing, friends and of course, wonderful food
It's a Thursday evening, we have one week of classes left, an episode of The Office and two episodes of The Real World to catch up on -- so clearly there was no other option than for my roommates Kendall and I to order our favorite guilty pleasure: wings over happy valley. Ordering wings on lazy weeknights with Kendall has become a senior year staple. We spend one part of the time talking about how much we can't wait for them to be delivered, one part of the time talking about how delicious they are and double the amount of both of those times talking and laughing about what a poor choice we made by ordering unhealthy food late at night.
Oh well, here's to college, right?
And most recently, when we're not catching up on our trash TV. We're singing our lungs out to this little gem.
I completed my first multi-media project for a photojournalism class I'm taking. It was a lot of fun to hang out with my dear friend Carina, the subject of this video, and hear about what her influences are, why she likes playing and how she tells she'll keep playing for "as long as my fingers can stand it."
My dear friend and roommate, Janelle, and another good friend, Brett, are engaged. They tie the knot in exactly two months! Yesterday, our apartment held her beautiful beautiful bridal shower, thrown by her lovely maid-of-honor, who is also one of our roommates, Lauren.
Almost everything has a touch of purple, and the food spread was to die for. Another roommate (can you tell I just love my roommates?), Kendall, is amazing at baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes. Look at these beautiful little cakes, and yes, she made that white chocolate "B" (Janelle's future last name intial!) herself. She is just so talented I can't even handle it.
The decorations were simple and elegant - candles tied with purple ribbons and small and simple purple touches everywhere.
It was a lovely shower for our lovely bride to be. After all the guests left we finished the day watching a marathon of chick flicks including Bride Wars, Sex and the City 2, and Life as We know it.
The perfect decorations, the perfect food, the perfect occasion,
the perfect people, the perfect day.
I'll leave you with a song. I love this classic love song, it makes me tear-up almost every time I hear it. Half because it's sweet as can be, and half because it reminds me of the Notebook. Either way, you can bet it made an appearance on yesterday's bridal shower playlist.
