chocolate and bread equal love

Last night I went to dinner with Brittan, Natalie and Lisa at Via Tribunale on Capitol Hill (which arguably has the best pizza in Seattle - although we also really like Piecora). It was delicious. We split two pizzas between the four of us, and mandated a no talking about school rule. And we drank red wine too, and it was good. I love Wednesday nights.

But that's not the point of my story. The point of this post is love. More specifically: my love for chocolate and bread. Together. It's. So. Amazing!

After dinner last night when our waitress asked if we wanted dessert, Brittan immediately responded yes and ordered us a nutella calzone, insisting it was amazing and we HAD to share one. Done and done. I was down. Oh my gosh! It was so good. I don't get why chocolate and bread are SO good together, but it's magical.

Baguette and melted dark chocolate (especially from cafe presse?). Yep, delicious.

Croissant stuffed with Nutella from Ground (or really anywhere). Yep, also delicious.

I want to eat chocolate + bread every day. And Trader J's frozen chicken fried rice. And drink lots of coffee. So much coffee, because did you know, coffee reduces depression in women? Amazing, right?

Ok, now I should stop procrastinating and go to school. But I don't want to. School = stress, and drinking coffee at my computer and blogging doesn't. True story.

And P.S. YUM:

The First Rainy Seattle Monday

Three posts in one day? What? WHAT? Yep!

The torrential downpour outside (all day long – bye bye summer and fall, hello 10 months of rain) has made me weirdly productive today. Kind of. Unless you count that time during break I spent on my couch watching TV and not really reading. But it’s whatever.

Anyway, it was really really rainy today. Like the whole city was gray from the rain kind of rainy. I forgot what that was like, to look in the distance and not see colors, just shades of gray. It’s weird how rain in Seattle does that. It’s weird that I forgot about the grayness. I guess it hasn’t rained hard enough in a few months (hey, I’m not complaining).

Anyway, this grayness has me in sweats right now, all comfy and warm. It’s almost nostalgic. It’s been a while since I was in sweat pants and a sweat shirt, with my lamp on, at my desk, eating dinner. Standard law school Monday night. It has just been a while.

Also, I baked banana bread (my mom’s banana bread to be more specific – so nostalgic and comforting) today. And I felt productive when I did it. And I felt wintery when I baked it, too. Then, to keep rolling with the food productivity and comfort, I made myself an awesome dinner:

Gluten free pasta with a mushroom, onion, tomato sauce over a bed of spinach, and my new favorite food: Brussels Sprouts!! Brussels Sprouts are soooo good! Usually I just fry them in a little butter and they are my favorite part of my meal. Yum yum.

I didn’t discover Brussels Sprouts until about a year ago, and I’ve only fallen super in love with them, hard, over the past month or two (probably because I learned how to cook them all the way through haha). But oh my, so good. They’re up there with sweet potatoes, which are also so so good! I love fall/winter foods. Someone get me a pumpkin spice latte, ASAP! Ha.

Also to add to the rainy-day-feel, I accidentally forgot my makeup in Dustin’s car yesterday and didn’t realize it until this morning. So I had an unintentional Makeupless Monday. And I felt scrubby and rainy and soggy all day, with my messy bun and no makeup. By the way, can I please say that I did NOT miss having dry jeans/clothes when it was rainy and nice here for like the 1.5 months of Seattle Summer? Oh well, at least there was a little sun this summer, right? Right.

Moral of the post: it’s rainy again in Seattle (real, heavy, all day kind of rainy).

And I need to go finish my homework for tomorrow. And eat some banana bread before it cools completely. Yum!

Happy fall & happy rain friendz! 

Battle Cat

This weekend I bonded with Battle Cat.

And I love this picture. He is so sweet (when he’s not being a little biatch haha I kid).



I can see my future now: crazy cat lady (fo sho)

Thermos Obsession

Guys, I have a confession. I have an obsession: thermoses. They’re amazing. True story.

I used to think thermoses were something that only old men use. Right? But they’re awesome. Maybe old men use them because old men are wise. And they know that Thermoses keep your coffee SO hot for SO long. It’s awesome. Hot coffee for a long time means that I can space out my coffee intake into a more efficient and manageable and less caffeine jittery way all day while I’m at school. It’s a law school coffee revolution. I’m convinced.

Friday morning I had to be at school early for my clinic office hours. Dustin (yeah, that’s happening again, BTW :) made me some coffee but I was in a hurry so I had to find something to take the coffee to go in. He apparently doesn’t have any travel mugs (what??), but he did have a thermos. Ok, it’ll do, right? Right. Plus I figured that Kyle (my clinic partner, who just turned 30) and I could bond over the thermos since he’s basically an old man. Fact: it worked. Kyle totally has a thermos. He loves it. I giggled about it.

But after 3+ hours and many hot hot mini cups of coffee (isn’t it so great that the thermos comes with it’s own mini mug?? right??), I was hooked. I basically shouted to Kyle that I LOVE THERMOSES! My excitement may have been partially due to the caffeine, but whatever!

I then immediately text Dustin to confess my love. He told me that I could have his. But I didn’t want to take his. Who takes someone else’s thermos? Rude!

But when I went to his house that evening for a little dinner date, I returned his thermos and guess what? He had went out and bought me my very own, amazing (old man) thermos:

I knew I kept him around for a reason. How sweet, right?

And by the way, I effing love my new Thermos! YAY!

Kammerer Wedding Part Three

It has taken me about a month to tell you about Danielle and Steffen’s wedding. Ha. But here I am, at the last post. (oh and here are the links to Part 1 and Part 2 in case you missed them).

So after getting ready at the Ritz and having our pictures taken and all of that we headed down to Mullens where the reception would take place. We sat in this room and started to get really, really nervous. Then we listened to a little “Party Rock” on Courtney’s cell and everything got infinitely better. Then it was time to head out to the ceremony.

I walked down the isle with my man twin, Josh, waited up at the alter for Danielle while Steffen sobbed. It was so sweet. 

The ocean was in the background and although it was overcast out, it was beautiful.

The ceremony was really sweet and I was smiling the entire time in an attempt not to cry in front of 100+ people. Ha. I would!

After the ceremony, it was picture time/cocktail hour. We waited and took some pictures under the alter then headed inside real quick to get some drinks (Josh and I double fisted champagne and Kate stole a whole bottle for us to take on our picture adventure). After a slight mishap we were in our golf carts heading down to the beach to take some wedding party + bride and groom pictures. I wish I would have brought my camera to the golf cart adventure. But I didn’t. Bad blogger.

After picture time we headed back to Mullens and bustled up Danielle.

 

Right after we got back it was dinner time. I love dinner time. I was starving. I got sat next to Josh at dinner (we were at the big wedding party table in front of everyone and we felt really cool about it) and obvi we had a great time (twinz do that).

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN! Like this!

Dinner was delish. It started with a yummy salad, a piece of bread with goat cheese on it and a roll. A+:

Also I had 4 drinks… because that’s how I roll at weddings apparently (two champagnes, one red one and one water):

After that our main courses came. I ordered the chicken dish (I can’t remember what it was called now, but it was really good – it was chicken, wrapped in filo and stuffed with some mushroom amazingness).

Josh ordered the Prime Rib and I forced him to trade me a bite for a bite. His was amazing too. NOM:

We obviously finished our dinners completely, and hoarded a dish of butter too.. Fat kids FOR SURE! We also finished up Courtney’s prime rib when she couldn’t do so herself. All that standing, and picture taking and stress really made us hungry.

During dinner there were a bunch of toasts too. I had to hold back tears the entire time. Weddings are so emotional. Sigh!

But I remember sitting there during dinner thinking: I can’t believe this is it. I can’t believe they’re FINALLY married. They’ve been together the entire time I’ve known them and they are one of those couples you just know are supposed to be together. They are really really great and I am just so happy for them.

After dinner we got up to go watch Danielle and Steffen’s first dance. But first, a surprise! Whatttt?

Steffen surprised Danielle by playing/singing  a song that he had been practicing for a few months, SO SWEET!

He sang her “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry but changed some of the lyrics. If I told you I didn’t ugly sob during it I would be lying. Like really, really ugly crying.

What can I say? After having such a stressful/emotional day, where I held back tears for like, the entire day, when I was watching him play/sing her that song, it was just SO sweet. And I wept. But when I looked over I saw that Courtney was doing the same, so it was ok. (P.S. her boyfriend may be my man twin, but she is my female twin. Love.)

Ugly cry faces? Don’t say I didn’t warn you:

Then came their first dance which they had been taking dancing lessons in preparation for. It was really really good. I loved it, which is saying something because usually I hate first dances. Like how awkward, everyone standing there watching you grope each other and makeout to a song for 5 minutes? NO thank you!

After that I went to the bathroom, wiped the ugly off, went outside for a second, then got the dance party started (duh):

The DJ was really great. He didn’t just play songs iPod style, he actually mixed them it was a great dance party.

I kept taking breaks to go outside because I kept feeling super overwhelmed though. Then going back inside to dance (obvi) and take care of drunk people (oh the life of a bride’s maid).

And then near the end of the night Danielle suggested a tequila shot (which were kind of our thing in college – um, Patron, yes please). The other bride’s maids got word and it turned into a bridal party shot. And it was awesome!

We hung out until the end of the reception then helped clean up a little before Kate and I headed back to our hotel room to change and go to the house the boys had rented for a little (super mellow) after party.

That night we slept for a few hours before getting up and heading back to the airport. I sat next to the worst child ever on the flight back to Seattle. He had no sense of boundaries. I almost punched him, but I didn’t. Close call. Note: don’t ever touch me over and over again on a flight when I’m about to vom from my raging hangover. But that’s beside the point…

Danielle and Steffen had the best wedding ever. Ever ever ever. It was just so perfect and nice and fun. I loved it.

The end.

I don't know what the plan is

All I want to do is listen to music, all day. I'm antsy and lethargic at the same time. I don't like it. 

But I do like this song, lots and lots. Talk about obsession of the day. Do you guys get that? Find a song or an album you really like and just listen to it over and over and over again? I'm so so guilty. Always.

And I must sound like a huge complainer. I'm sorry, friends. I wish I had real things to write about. 

Epic Sigh...
(is it too early for a drink - haha I joke, mostly)

Update:

Day was mostly remedied by Fro Yo date with my roommie, Erin. We went to Zoe Yogurt near our house and right across the street from Green Lake:

I got Peanut butter (DUH) and cheesecake fro yo with heath bar and Oreo toppings. Um, yum. Perfect for this 80 degree Seattle (Fall) day! 

And tonight I have a hot dinner/after date. So maybe my day is looking up after all?

Happy Friday, friendz! xxoo 

Hi Seattle

This photo of Seattle (credit HERE) has been circulating on Facebook today and I think it’s just awesome:

 

Yay for Seattle! Even if the weather is SUPER confusing and semi-awful today. It’s a mix of hot and drizzly and cloudy/muggy outside. I guess that means it’s a perfect excuse to wear a maxi dress?  Sure, I’ll go with it.

And, on a side note: I can’t wait for this school week to be over!! I’m stressed to the point of unproductivity. Hello anxiety.

Food Porn

Last night I went to dinner at Skillet with Brittan and Natalie and Lisa for our standing Wednesday night, no boyz allowed, dinner date.

Skillet was my suggestion. The restaurant was built by the people who started the food cart (a gourmet food cart in Seattle – maybe even the first gourmet food cart, I don’t exactly remember) after it was such a huge success. I can see why it’s so popular. Dinner was pretty delicious. 

Before dinner, though, Lisa and I drank almost a whole bottle of wine while watching 30 Rock at her apartment. This was between the time I got out of Intellectual Property and the time Natalie was done with her Clinic Office Hours and we left for dinner. It’s really so convenient that Lisa lives across the street from school.

Then at dinner, Skillet had this amazing looking grilled cheese sandwich with bacon jam on the menu, but I was afraid if I ate it I would be doubled over in stomach pain for dayz. So instead I got a salmon burger with olive tapenade and it was good, but maybe the olive tapenade was a little overpowering. But it didn’t matter because with my burger I got Poutine (which, if you don’t know, are fries covered in gravy and cheese curds.. um YUM!). And I ate all of them. And then I was really, really full, but luckily no doubled over stomach pain. And then I accidentally went pee in the men’s bathroom. #awkward

Anyway, as promised, here is some food porn for you:

And if you’re ever in Seattle, and you like trendy restaurants (Capitol Hill style), then you should go to Skillet. And get the Poutine. Because you probably can’t ever go wrong with fries smothered in gravy and cheese. Am I right? Right!

one of THOSE days

Yesterday was an emotional breakdown kind of day. I started tearing up in class. Feeling inadequate once again. Feeling like everyone was smarter than me. Feeling like I shouldn't have been there, like I didn't enjoy it, any of it. Feeling like it was just too hard. It's too boring. It's too awful. I had one of those days yesterday where I legitimately wanted to drop out of law school and enroll in beauty school instead. I'm good at making people look cute. I'm good at doing hair. I could do that for a living, right? Screw law school. Because, like I said, that ish is TOO HARD!

But then, today, I woke up and things were just a little bit better. I realized that I'm smarter than lots of people. Maybe not people in law school, but people in general. I realized that at least I have a well-rounded life. I have friends. I'm not just school. I also woke up and realized that someone very special will be back tomorrow. And this morning I remembered that all the debt will work itself out. I realized that things like this always work themselves out. They have to, right?

This isn't to say that I still don't have "I hate this" moments. Like this morning in Real Estate when he was talking for an hour and a half about, really, I have no idea what he was talking about. And I realized that I was paying $122 to sit there and listen to him talk about confusing nothingness. Talk about frustration. Because that's how I was feeling. Poor (in more ways than one) and unintelligent and frustrated.

But then I looked to my right and there were two of my favorite people in school. And one more favorite sitting in front of me. And I realized that I'm not the only one who was confused in that moment. They weree too. Everyone sitting there in Real Estate in that moment was in a similar boat. All floating together. Hanging on for dear life. But maybe I'm luckier than most people because I remembered that later I get to get off my boat go to dinner at Skillet with those three awesome friendz. And I get to vent about life. And I will feel better. Because when law school sucks I can remember that at least I still have friends. And things like that are important. And also did I mention that someone very amazing comes back to me tomorrow? That is also most important. And most exciting. For me, anyway.

So for now, I'm happy that my emotional, breakdown in class, type of day is over. At least temporarily. And in the meantime I will listen to this song, which I forgot about until this morning. Thank you, Pandora for reminding me.

Go Huskies (duh)

In case you didn’t already know I went to the University of Washington for undergrad. I heart the Huskies. True story.

Last Saturday I went to my first football game of the season. UW vs. Hawaii

We started it out with an awesome and delicious brunch at our house (me, Erin, Kylee, Elizabeth, Stephanie and A Jo). We had eggs and cinnamon rolls and hash browns and sausages and poor man’s mimosas (bud light + OJ) and real mimosas too. It was delicious.

I crack myself up:

I got a ticket from my friend Lisa who has season tickets with some of her friends. One of the friends couldn’t go so I snatched up her ticket. YAY!

After brunch we walked to the stadium, tailgated a little then headed into the game.

Lisa and I love Husky Football. Also I wore a purple dress because it was HOT outside! I loved that too!!!

 

I had also never sat at the top of the stadium before. There was a great view of Lake Washington. And if you looked the other way you could see the space needle. I thought that was pretty sweet. I still think the Space Needle is a cool landmark, even if I have been in Seattle 6+ years now.

And at the end of the game, we won and I liked that. A lot.

The end.

P.S. GO DAWGS!

Busiest

I thought 3Ls didn’t do homework and didn’t learn anything? So false in my case. I’ve been SO busy and have been learning so much new stuff. Stuff I suppose in this case means real life lawyer skills.

I told you all the other day that I went to court for the first time ever last week. True story.

I am a Rule 9 intern for the the Youth Advocacy Clinic via the Ronald A. Peterson law clinic at SU Law. It has been taking up my whole life. But, that’s not the point of the story. The point of the story is that I went to court.

I did a first appearance hearing for a youth who was being held in juvenile detention. I just deferred to the court on the issue of probable cause, but I fought for his release and ultimately won a full release for him (even though the judge released him with a no contact order (between him and the complaining witness, AKA his girlfriend – they were both pretty upset about it, but it was only for 3 days, so I’m sure they got over it)).

So, I got a real life client, I was assigned to him at about 8:30am, went to court (where I argued in front of a real life judge) around 3pm, and it was one of the most stressful, extreme learning experiences of my life. And also it was rad.

And then I took a tequila shot with the other guy who also had a client that day. And then we went to class. Then I was exhausted.

I get a full case assignment next week. Talk about exhausted from stress. I can’t wait…

And I felt like a grown up. Kind of.

But then last night I came home to Hood River and things like this happened (Yosh wearing and licking my unicorn necklace) and I realized that maybe I’m not such a grownup after all:

I love it here.

Mug & Emotion

I’ve been having a weird week. In a good way, though. And I’ve decided that I have overly strong emotions. Like I shouldn’t feel this extreme all the time (about everything). I don’t think it’s normal, and I don’t think that normal people feel this way. It causes me extreme amounts of anxiety. But it also causes me extreme amounts of joy. It’s like I can’t just be in the middle. And right now I just really want to be in the middle. I want to be content. I want to be calm. I’m pretty sure my overactive emotions are making me fat from stress and going to cause me to die early, again, from the stress.

Or maybe I’m just PMSing?

On the bright side, I get to have no boyz allowed dinner tonight with my law school favorites. They always listen to my crazy girl emotions. That’s good for me. It makes me feel more settled. And then maybe after that I will pick up a new French Press from someone who doesn’t use theirs anymore because they are rad and I am too cheap to buy a new one. Then I will probably just end up feeling more emotional all over again from the normal human interaction and the caffeine (stupid caffeine, I’m so addicted to you, and you get me so worked up). Standard.

I’m tired of being over stimulated. That’s not what she said, BTW.

On the bright side, though, this morning we had an early morning meeting for the law journal I’m (we’re) starting (the American Indian Law Journal – yep, that’s right). Well I guess that isn’t the bright side. The bright side, instead, was that Professor Eberhard (aka Eric) brought the 4 of us these mugs:

Now, most of you already now how I feel about all things Pendleton. But if you don’t know, I love Pendleton. Not so much the town, that town gives me anxiety after my internship, but the woolen mills and the things that come from there are rad. I digress…

Anyway, I was really excited about my new mug. It’s big and awesome. That is what she said! Ha.

And now I should stop this and go read for Intellectual Property like a good student. Right. Best student EVER right here!

The Krammerer Wedding Part Two

May I please just start out by saying that this was probably the best wedding ever? True story.

The day started with a little continental breakfast (thanks best western for my toasted bagel with two cream cheeses, yogurt cup, OJ & Coffee) followed by showering and blow drying our hair in our hotel room. After that Kate, Courtney, Kristina and I headed over to the Ritz to Danielle’s sweet to finish getting ready with her, her mom and the rest of the bride’s maids.

Danielle was a little nervous earlier that morning (as is to be expected of any bride) but seemed to be totally fine once she started getting her hair and makeup done. I have to admit, she was way more collected than I imagine I will be on my wedding day (you know, if I ever have a wedding day).

Danielle getting her hair+makeup done:

Danielle and the MOH, Carly:

Danielle’s mom taking the amazing dress to Danielle:

Me, Kate, Courtney and Kristina in Danielle’s sweet, all ready for picture time:   

I did my own hair by curling it all then sticking it in a low, curly, messy, side bun. I think it turned out really well. I wish I would have taken a better picture. I also curled Kate’s hair (the brunette in the above picture), finished Courtney and Carly’s hair and curled Tietjen’s hair. I was on a roll!

After we were finally all ready, and had enjoyed some (very expensive, very delicious, room service) fruit, cheese, crackers and champagne it was time to head downstairs to take some pictures.

On our way down, when we stepped off the elevator we ran into Simon Baker who was also apparently staying at the Ritz Carlton at Half Moon Bay. Danielle had a totally star struck moment in her wedding dress saying “hiii”i to him. He then congratulated her on her big day. Gush!

When we finally made it down to the hotel lobby everyone was staring at us. Probably because Danielle looked so amazing.

We got into the hotel’s escalade and were taken to the picture site. Baller status, right? haha.

The place where we took our bridal party pictures was really, really pretty. It was right near where the wedding would take place later that afternoon, overlooking the ocean:

Isn’t she the prettiest? 

After pictures were over we went back to Danielle’s hotel room for more cheese and crackers and champagne. We also listened to Danielle read us her vows (since that part of the ceremony would be private – a friend would be playing a song while they recited their vows to each other without microphones). They were so sweet and perfect. Not overly gushy. A perfect representation of their relationship. I seriously love them!

 

After that it was time to head down to Mullins, start to get really nervous, and wait for the wedding to begin…

cheers to the (much needed) weekend

Here are a few things that are making me smile an inside joke kind of smile right now:

Now you're a supermodel and I'm a motherfucking bear and we're literally the same exact person. It's weird.

&

Because sometimes, you'll be thinking about something, and then you'll have that weird "something is going to happen today, something isn't right" feeling and then 2 hours later you'll get a text message about the thing you were thinking about (or three) that just kind of ruins your day. Then you'll have to go to a CLE and a training and you'll want to die from boredom and hatred at both because of your awful, werid day. And then you'll know that you're being dramatic but you just can't help it because you're in such a bad mood. Then you'll go drink Double Mountain beer with Stacy after a very sweaty walk. And it will make you want to be in Hood River with your besties. And then you'll come home and you'll have more dramatic text messages. And you'll want to punch someone in shin, or the soul. But you have to keep telling yourself that soon you'll have friends and wine and fun. And time heals all. It can't be bad always. Things will get better. But first you need to look at/listen to inside joke kind of cheery things.

So that's why right now you're reading this post instead of wedding part two and maybe part three.

Also I owe you a post about how I went to court yesterday for the first time ever (as someone's attorney) and it was awesome.

But that will come after a shower and new makeup and wine. And maybe some sleep too.

cheers to the weekend
xxoo

The Kammerer’s Wedding Weekend (Part 1)

Oh my you guys, I spent the weekend in Half Moon Bay, CA (about 30 minutes west of San Francisco on the coast) for Danielle and Steffen’s wedding weekend! So amazing!

I flew from SeaTac to SFO on Friday morning, then waited for Kate in San Fran at the airport. When her flight got in we waited in a humongo line for our rental car then went on our way to half moon bay. We checked in at our hotel then immediately went to dinner at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. It was pretty romantic. I had beer (true story, I just typed in I hate Beer – I think my liver is speaking for me right now), she had wine, I guess that means I was the guy on our “date”.

Next we pit stopped at Safeway for some vodka (I LOVE that you can buy alcohol from a grocery store in California! LOVE!!) and some snacks (for later, of course), then went back to our hotel room to wait for everyone else to get in. Not soon after, we got an invite to go over to a house that some of the guys had rented. Side note: Danielle was my sorority sister and Steffen was also in a fraternity at UW – ALSO they have been together since their sophomore year in High School though – crazy, right? Anyway, we went over to the frat boys’ house to play some beer pong (keeping it fratty, of course) and wait for Danielle and Steffen to arrive.

 

After some fun times with the guys we decided to head back to the hotel room to get some rest so that we would be ready for our 9am rehearsal the next morning.

Rehearsal was super quick and painless.

After rehearsal, Kate and I were STARVING (obviously) so we went to the Garden Deli and Cafe in downtown Half Moon Bay, and OH MY GOSH, I got the MOST amazing sandwich. If you are ever in Half Moon, you’ve GOT to go there:

After our sandwich we went back to the hotel and waited for our other sorority sisters to arrive. Once they did they immediately wanted a nap so Kate, Rachel and I went to Courtney and Carly’s room to hang for a while until it was time to get ready for rehearsal dinner.

We (Kate, Me, Kristina and Courtney) ended up getting to rehearsal dinner a little early and decided to have a glass of champagne at the bar:

Then when it was time to start the dinner we headed outside to where they had the tables set up. Everyone was kind of late due to the fact that the guys were playing a game of golf until 6 minutes before the rehearsal dinner started. WHOOPS!

But they got there and everything was good. Don’t Danielle and Steffen just look amazing?

Of course I made Steffen give me some love too :)

We sat down to an amazing seafood dinner (complete with many, many glasses of wine).

My soul mates (Josh and Courtney – yes, both of them are my soul mates) getting ready to chow down:

After dinner we hung out outside:

   

And they guys had even set up some golf game where you tried to hit the ball into these floating things in the pond. Needless to say, the girls weren’t very good at it:

 

Then I took these pictures with Josh (soul mate, who I also walked down the isle with), who can’t keep his eyes open:

Then I was all, HERE, I’ll even SHOW you how to do it:

Whatever, you’re never going to get it…

Now you’re a supermodel and I’m a motherfuckingbear, RAWR!

And then I just kept telling the bartenders to “Fill it up, yeah, all the way to the top, kthx” and we took some more pictures:

Some of them were even nice, like this one of Danielle and I:

Then we decided that Courtney could be our honorary sorority sister. Obvi we took a crown pic, Zeta love!

After that I figured that maybe it would be fun to take Prom Pics with all of the men in Danielle’s family starting with her grandpa:

Then her brother, Michael, who is RAD by the way:

 

And then, of course, her dad:

Then her dad was really excited about partying it up, so we took shots together (Eric (the best man), Me, Kate and her dad (who took a shot of wine, because he doesn’t do shots):

 

And then when I woke up the next morning, this was the last picture that had been taken on my camera and I thought to myself, that was the most fun night I’ve had in long time. I LOVE this.

Then after all my fun last night my stomach started calling to me, and clearly it was time for some continental breakfast (bagel with TWO things of cream cheese – Josh agreed, soul mates – Yogurt, juice and coffee, BOOM) before heading to Danielle’s bridal sweet to get ready for the WEDDING!!! But that’s a story for my next post…
