I tried to make a fancy cake for the birthday party.

They call him the angel

Jacob turned 24 yesterday! I'm so proud.
Sometimes I get really excited to give people gifts, so I made Jacob open all of his the night before (and then remembered that they weren't even that cool). Really, I forced him.
On his real birthday, we went to Chili's with lots of friends and had cake and ice cream at the Cooper's afterwords. We also watched the season premier of The Office, which made me LOL on several occasions.

New Job, New Blog

Hi.

This is where I work.

Pretty much I'm getting paid to sit at that little deask back there and do my homework, blog/facebook stalk, or online shop.

(Thankyou Brooke for the sweet hook-up!)

I'm also contributing to a blog with my sisters for fun ideas and shtuff. Check it out!

-- Wendell Berry

Other people are always way better at saying what I'm thinking/feeling.

The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn

We went camping in Filmore (where Jacob spent his glory years) with lots of friends. We went on a fishing adventure, had some amazing dutch over dinner, chatted around the camp fire, and...
SIMBA!! A Clamanda* specialty. That's why we keep them around.
