Hey Moon, Please Forget To Fall Down...

Things have been crazy around here lately! My sister and best friend in the whole world is getting married in two months!! so needless to say we have been scrambling to get things ready for the shower, the bach party (whoop whoop), and finally the big day. also stephen's little brother is getting married this saturday! madness! so Lena (stephen's soon to be sister-in-law) had her shower on friday and i made these delicious lemon raspberry bars.




here's the link to the recipe if you want to make them. they are super easy! Lemon Raspberry Bars

last night we had a farewell dinner for one of my best friends Lexi. She is leaving for Africa tomorrow! i am so jealous. and happy for her. and sad for myself. i'm going to go insane without her! so me, lexi, and three of our other close girl friends all went out to dinner.
here's me and my little lexi





after dinner we went back to lauren's house and sat on her deck and enjoyed some wine and a fire.


Lauren's house is right on the river. it's so pretty!! i could sit on her deck probably every night and not get tired of it.



shortly after our relaxing evening on the deck started lauren's dad thought it was time to light off some fireworks. and we were almost killed. i'm not even joking. the fireworks went haywire and started shooting off in every direction. including the direction of the table we were sitting at. luckily we all made it out alive. lexi almost lost her arm (again, not even joking!) but we got inside the house in time to avoid getting lit on fire or seriously injured. i kind of wish that firework had hit lexi in the head, given her amnesia, and kept her from going to south africa.... ok that time i was joking. but i am going to miss her dearly! i love you Leximus! if you want to read all about lexi's adventures in Cape Town she started a blog and i expect her to keep up with it since i am a blog addict and i pretty much won't have any idea what is going on in her life without it.
