Good food, good friend, good night

If you've never been to Postino in Phoenix you don't know what you're missin! This amazing little wine cafe is part of the Le Grande Orange family of restaurants and is absolutely worth the trip to the Biltmore area. It is nestled in a quaint neighborhood at 40th St. & Campbell and has daily wine specials with glasses starting at $5.00. Not being a drinker, this special doesn't really appeal to me as much as the unique bruschetta and their wonderful paninis. Tonight however was not just about the wonderful flavors and atmosphere of Postino, but more about the amazing friend I was able to have dinner with. Brooke you are an amazing friend and I love you! We definitely need more dinner dates! And let's make it Postino every time!

A Tribute to Erin: Miss Arizona 2008

So, this weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Miss Arizona Pageant for the umpteenth time only to have the greatest night ever! One of my dear friends from my childhood, miss Erin Nurss, was crowned the 2008 Miss Arizona! I couldn't be happier for her and I know she is going to rock Las Vegas in the Miss America Pageant. I wish I could explain how much this girl deserves this crown, but words just can't do it. Erin is the most beautiful woman I know inside and out. She has worked extremely hard to get where she is today and I can't wait to see what she does with this year. Erin, this is a tribute to you! You are going to be the best Miss Arizona ever!!!!

Kung Fu Panda Awesomeness

Awesomeness is the most appropriate word for this movie. It was chock full of awesomeness! Another wonderful product of Dreamworks, kudos to you guys. If you know me, you know that I have the personality of a small child, which might explain why I was running in circles until it came to theatres. Well, after all that running I was TIRED, but not too tired to see Kung Fu Panda! While Dreamworks has put out some of my favorite movies (Shrek 1, 2, & 3), this movie has officially topped the list of all time favorite animated movies. While you might expect this movie to be mostly silly with a lot of Kung Fu, it has a suprising amount of other emotional elements. It is truly a movie that anyone could enjoy. And my new favorite saying (not quoted anywhere in the movie) Paaaaaaaanda, pandaaaa!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well I'm 21 again for the 4th time. For those of you still trying to count, I'm 24 today. that means I'm almost a quarter of a century old. Hmm....yeah. Well, it's going to be a great year full of celebrations and love. I can't wait... maybe 24 won't be so bad after all. But, that begs the question, What happens when you turn 25?

The Most Fabulous Shoes Ever!

It is very depressing when you find the most perfect shoes and they cost more than your husband's wedding ring! So we sit and wait and hope they go on sale (a big sale).
