Friends Blogs, Sandwhiches, and Glow in the Dark Stars..

10 days since the last post????... wooops!

Well, in the past ten days I feel like a lot has happened... in a nutshell:

1. ALL THREE of my Best friends officially have blogs. I'm so proud. ;) Read them at:

Ashley- http://ashleynicolewhipple.blogspot.com/
Marisa- http://www.littlelemonsqueeze.blogspot.com/
Cory- http://coryinparis.blogspot.com/

2. We met up with Danny Moen at The Horse Brass Pub. (Danny Moen was the jr. high youth pastor at Sun Grove church in Elk Grove and is a good friend)

3. We met up with someone named Max at The Backstage Theatre (Mcmenamins). Max is Kristen Font's boyfriend. Kristen Font is my friend from elementary school who is moving up here with Max. We have a double date with them on Saturday planned and I'm excited to meet the "grown-up" version of my elementary school friend. :)

4. We have been enjoying our new living room! It's not finished yet which is why I don't want to post pictures yet. Currently, we have two new bookshelves up, with two old ones still hanging around. When we purchased the new bookshelves we could only fit two in our car, so we still have to go out and buy one more. Once we get the last one up, we will post pictures. All I can say is, I wish we had done this earlier. We love the new set up, it's so so cozy!

5. I have been obsessed with looking at wedding websites and dreaming/planning what I want my business to look like someday. *sigh*.... someday. :)

6. I made the best spread to go on the best home-made sandwich this girl has ever made:
A pear and goat-brie cheese sandwich with walnut spread.

A walnut spread, blended with Avocado, carrots, onions, olive oil, and the secret ingredient: a couple of figs...
walnuts

carrots

Avocado


Goat- Brie Cheese... this stuff is amazing...

Layer it all up on a crusty baguette...

7. We went to Reed College for an afternoon picnic





8. We went to Jamesom Square Park for an evening picnic


9. Katie Scoville has been drinking beer. Yes, ladies and gentlemen I have completed my first ever purchase of a 6 pack of beer. (not in one day, I assure you)



10. We made ravioli's at some point...





11. We got rid of Wes' desk. Wes has had this desk basically his whole life, and before it was his, it was Scott's. As we cleaned out the drawers to make room for our new living room table I discovered a couple "little-kid-Wes" touches that have never been removed:

The first was a Star Wars sticker on the inside of a drawer

The second hidden secret: Two little glow in the dark stars on the side of the drawer. Wes said he would pull the drawers out at night to watch them glow in the dark while he went to sleep. :)


Okay.. so we didn't do ALL of these things in the past ten days but... we did a lot of them. Summer has been so good to us. Thank goodness us PSU students still have another month left of it! Happy almost friday to you all....

Thanks for the shoutout! I've had that Alaskan White Wheat beer a couple of times. I LOVED it the first few times, and then my last experience with it... it didn't taste as good, for some reason. I dunno. Matt and I were disappointed the last time we had it. Alaskan is good though!
