Quarter of a Century

It is true... I turned 25 on March 10th! I feel so old! But I am over it because I have less then a year before I turn 26 and I'm really not ready for that! My birthday was so WONDERFUL! I am so lucky to have family and friends that love me!!!!


To START the month off right Rose and I went to Disneyland! (Only the best place EVER to CELEBRATE!!!)





My parents flew in for my ACTUAL birthday and it was so FUN! BYU was playing in the tournament in Vegas so my dad went to watch the game so... Just the girls went to lunch at the Landing! It was so yummy and its right on the lake which made it beautiful!



I had to go to class that night (because that is what happens when you are adult) but after we had cake and Ice Cream! Meg made me a FUNFETTI cake which is all we ate at BYU-Idaho... YUMMY!

Carin planned a BELLYDANCING class for me, which was totally awkward because I'm so uncoordinated it's ridiculous! but it was still a blast!

Carin also planned a "PI" party because March 14th (3.14) is PI day. We had a bunch of people over from the ward and all ate tons of delicious PIE!

THEN.....

On the last day of my parents trip I decided to go home with them. It was my Spring Break and Carin was in Columbia so I didn't want to sit around for a week alone so I just hoped on the plane! We surprised Jess and it was so fun! Since she is about to have a baby and in the middle of remodeling she needed some extra help. I was also there for one of her baby showers. Her friend made Cake Pops! They were red velvet and AMAZING! I can't wait until I have time and motivation to make them!



Because I wasn't there very long I only got to see a few people but it was still fun and I am glad I went!

Ava Weekend

For Christmas Ava Girl got a TINKERBELL sleeping bag and as soon as she opened it she wanted to sleep at my apartment. Well that time came this past weekend! We spent for days together having nothing but FUN....

We went to the PARK......



We went to the MALL....



We went to TARGET......



We went to my ward MARDI GRAS party..... Where she got her FACE PAINTED!

(now everyone thinks I have a child)


We had a PICNIC and Ava met her best friend she will never see again and still gets upset about.....




We went to MCDONALD'S......



AND......

We had a SLEEPOVER at my APARTMENT in her TINKERBELL sleeping bag....


Talk about a happy kid!

But all good things must come to an end and 3 year olds are A LOT of work so I was HAPPY to return her!

Thanks Ava Girl! Let's do it again.... in a year or two!

Liz

(This is a pic from the last time Liz and I went to CA)

This past weekend Liz came to visit me! It was so much fun!!!!! Since she is getting Married in June it was really fun to have ONE last girls trip! We Shopped, went to the Beach TWICE, laughed, Ate, and laughed some more. It seriously was a great weekend!


So I have this problem, I forget to take pictures. And If I do take pictures it is usually of food or about food something like that. It's SORTA embarrassing. But WHATEVER! So here is a pic of some AMAZING desserts we had at this YUMMY cafe by my apartment.


Thanks for coming Liz!

Food Trucks!

Ok so I know what you are all thinking, what has Suzy been doing? Well let me tell you... School, Work, Babysitting, Cooking, Beaching it up, shopping, following food trucks and loving the fact that I LIVE in SoCal!

I won't bore you with all the details but I will say that if you come to CA plan on eating at a food truck. What is a food truck? They are a huge craze down here and basically a gourmet restaurant on wheels. A few weeks ago Carin and I set out to check them out. We went to the Crepe n' Around truck. I love crepes and to put it lightly, I have been dreaming about them ever since and have failed every time I try to find it (stupid Twitter)...

Anyway, we shared the chicken pesto Crepe, S'more Crepe and Banana Nuttella Crepe. Yes we stuffed ourselves and yes it was worth it!

Utah

I was in Utah for 5 weeks! It was really fun to go back and see everyone. Unfortunately I only have a few pictures from my trip to Utah. No Christmas, New Years, or pictures of my family visiting. Let's just say I am the worst with my camera and I wish I could have someone follow me around with a camera and take pictures of my life because that would be easier...


I did go skiing twice when I was there. It was so fun and it was the only thing that actually made me miss winter in Utah


I also went to a Jazz game with Troy. The game was awful and we got killed but Jazz games are always fun

The last week I was there I watched Graham for Jess and Marty. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work.










I miss my little Buddy!

Utah was fun but I am glad to be back in School and sunny California where its like 80 degrees!

Sleepover and Disneyland

BLOG CATCH-UP! SCROLL DOWN FOR ADDITIONAL POSTS!


Ever since I moved to LA Meg's kids have been dying to see my apartment but more importantly SLEEPOVER. Well, their wish came true the day before I flew home. I picked them up and we drove to Culver City. They were HILARIOUS in the car. I wish I had taped the conversation. We picked up In n Out for dinner and then went to my apartment. As I put the key in the door Nick EXCLAIMED, "I can't believe I finally get to see it!" It was pretty dang cute. Then, while we ate dinner they each kept saying Thank you for letting them come. They are pretty great kids. We watched movies and ate snacks and I think it was everything they hoped it would be.



Then....

The next day we went to DISNEYLAND! It was such a great day! I am so glad I have an annual pass and get to go a lot. Rosey Happened to be going that day as well, so it was so fun to be with her and her cute friend Denise, they are pretty much the greatest and Disneyland was so fesive decorated for Christmas!












(I am really glad Rose had her camera to capture some of the pics, I am the worst at that)

Christmas Time in LA

It was really hard for me to get into the Christmas Spirit in LA. It is hard when the sun is shining and its warm. Cry me a river, I know! But they do try to make it feel like Christmas. There is a great shopping center called The Grove, its where they film Extra, they have a HUGE tree (30 feet taller then Rockefeller center in NYC) and they make make fake snow. Anyway, Carin and I went and checked it out and it was pretty cool and make it feel a little like Christmas!




I also made batches and batches of peppermint popcorn, which everyone loved and made me homesick!
