Beer

Tonight we went to CB&Potts- amazing restaurant and brewery. Each of us (mom, dad and me) got different beers from their brewery. I dont remember the names of all of em, but were for SURE going back there so i'll def remember soon ;) im always afraid to get really dark beers (the middle one is my dads)... so i tried a taste of his and ohmygod it is the best beer ive ever tasted. it has a sweeter after taste, molassesy, but really light. SOOO GOOD!!! another one for the stout beer club to check out :)

14 Hours, 917 miles.

Driving is boring. We left on the 25th and stopped in North Platte, Nebraska. Ate at a place called Whiskey Grill. Finished the drive on the 26th. The speed limit on these barren Nebraska highways is 75. Guess how fast I was going? haha Whoo.

House Pictures

Me and dad went around the house and took some pics to remember it :)

















Dad getting mail for the last time.


















Dad picking his last weed.












Our wood/twig pile for bonfires. Used to be 4x this size.

Moving Day(s)

Today is moving day. Sad. It took 3 days to get all the crap out of our house and into boxes and into a truck packed to the brim. (Luckily, I didn't have to do any of the work!) Its sad to see all the empty rooms. The first day of packing was my birthday. Saddest bday ever. On Tuesday, our neighbors had a going away party for us and had a cake for our fam. Greatest neighbors ev. The next night my friends and neighbors came over to wish us well and to say our goodbyes since it was the last night in Lakeville. We went to Rudy's for drinks and then tried to stay at the Holiday Inn... welp, dad made the reservation for the wrong day and we had to drive to another hotel without full occupancy. Way to go dad.

Birthday in Menomonie

Over the weekend, I traveled to Menomonie, WI - location of UW-Stout for my birthday. Visited friends, did shots, and although I can never go to Menom without some drama, I had the best time with my closest friends. We went to Boyceville's pickle fest and for the first time, I ate deep fried pickles. Its serioulsy the best way to eat pickles. YUM. Never made it to the Bottoms over the weekend ;( but got Waterfront wings for the last time!! Im gonna miss that shit town. Summary... I was solid drunk for a good 48 hours. lol. And thank you Vinny for everything you did for me that weekend!!

Last Day at Vikkis

Today was my last day working at Victoria's Secret. I made cupcakes for everyone just to say goodbye. Everyone loved them but I was sad because I made such good friends only working there for a short period of time. Im seriously going to miss everyone at Vikkis so much!! My cupcakes are super delish because my frosting recipe is DIVINE!!!!! I found the recipe online and I would never be so selfish to keep it to myself so im sharing it!! SHARING IS CARING ;) Our Best Bites Frosting Recipe You have never tasted heaven until you've tasted this frosting!! If you go ahead and make it, i would totally double the recipe.... there's never enough after secretly licking the spoon a couple dozen times ;) Ok, so as I'm getting out of my car to walk into work, I quickly grab the cupcakes but accidentally flipped one of the containers over. I was so pissed cuz I'm such a perfectionist when it comes to cupcakes and their decoration, but at least the other box was okay. Everyone ate the pretty ones first of course, so I could only get a pic of the ugly cupcakes. Love you all Victoria's Secret Burnsville!!!

Packing: Day 1

Brought down my suitcases from the attic. Starting to pack my '2 months of clothes' because were going to be living in temporary housing until we can find a house. Moving in 1 week ;( Sad. Went to Great Harvest and got 4 loaves of bread and cookie today... for FREE!!! Were trying to get rid of coupons we have saved. More free stuff to come!!! Also, stocked up on some liquor... lol. We actually just needed empty boxes to pack up our half-filled bottles of booze for the drive to Denver.

Cheesecake Factory

Brookey was in town and we all knew I was also leaving soon so the gang got together at our usual place :) LOVE MY FRIENDS!!! Cheesecake is yummy. I got the kahlua cocoa coffee cheesecake. ummm... yum? ;)
