Pretending to be Vietnamese

You read it correctly! I made a Vietnamese Spring Roll....the bonus....we got to do this at work for Asian Pacific Heritage Month! The rice paper was super sticky, so I was pretty proud of my quality. I'm such a nerd.

Bliss from Blessings #9

Due to my particularly "Debbie Downer" post last Friday.....I'm loading up on blessings!!

• An awesome weekend with my mom! We cooked, laughed, and talked all day Saturday and it was much needed mommy time.
• Early morning drives on the weekend. Even though Tucson is a good jaunt away from our house, getting up and driving as the sun wakes up....is actually kind of fun. Roll the windows down and let the puppy slobber fly!
• Acting like a crazy person and trying to carve shapes in my mom's pies as vent holes. She makes a very pretty 'wheat' design usually, but I decided to switch it up and make a full-on peach tree. It was a good time.
• Seeing my little nephew and snuggling him up!
• Seeing my cousin's little girl and snuggling her up!
• Washing my little weenie dog, getting in bed, and snuggling her up!
• Listening to inspirational words all weekend as I watched the 180th General Conference!
• Peace and quiet at home with the boy on a Sunday night
• My amazing friend Shaylin! I went over to take her some food and she sent me home with a HUGE ham! This was not supposed to be a trade, but she is too nice to resist!
  
  

I Can Always Count on Jane

Friday was a stinky day for me.....work was pretty awful, Tyler went on a boys trip, and my hips were feeling particularly large that day. :)

I got a call from my friend Lyndsey who was also having a stinky day (woot woot!) and she wanted to go grab some dinner at Paradise Bakery. We both got some yummy sandwhiches with pasta salad and soup, plus some yummy cookies to make us feel better about our lives...hahaha.

I decided I would wrap up the night with a good cry so I came home, curled up and watched my girly movie: Sense and Sensibility

Please believe me when I say this is one of the best movies ever!!!!!!!!!! You all need to watch it!

I can always count on Jane Austen to make me feel like a hopeless romantic and I love every second of it!
