Let's get WICKED!!!
My Mom took me to see WICKED in March just after my birthday. We'd both read the book and realized we should have reread them before! Regardless of it was a very fun(ny) afternoon/evening :) I love hanging out with my Mom!!

Spring Program 2012...and a handmade skirt!!!
This year our school's spring program was a 50's theme!!! I decided to make and wear a poodle skirt which would help me check off number 13 on my 30 before 30 list!!
It started out in March with Sabrina and I sewing the skirts with my Mom's help!!! That being said - I sewed my whole skirt by myself. I did copy what my Mom was helping Sabrina do, though. I'd never done a waistband or a zipper so I needed some guidance!!!

happy 29th birthday to me :-)
For my birthday this year I just wanted to do something low-key and with my friends/family. We had gone out to dinner (at Chevy's OF COURSE) on the Wednesday before my birthday with my parents. Unfortunatley my brother and his wife were unable to make it. And also unfortunately my parents had other plans on Friday...so it was out with friends I went.
Many of my friends have kids and so we decided to go...BOWLING! Heehee. It actually was a great time. It allowed all of us to talk and eat and bowl. We were there for like 4 hours!!! While it wasn't as "exciting" as other birthday's I have had - it was great because we were with great friends!!!

in one little week...
...I'll be 29!!
And {for the record} in 21 days I'll have already been in Hawaii for 8 hours :-)
Not that I like countdown's or anything...
I'm kind of excited to be 29. Well, maybe I'm just excited for my birthday. It is my favorite holiday.
But it all seriousness, I am pretty excited for 29. I feel like it is going to be a good year. We have a few vacations planned {Hawaii and the Midwest for family vacations} as well as some plans for weekends at the beach and other area's around the Pacific Northwest. Hopefully with a few baseball and football games thrown in and I'm secretly hoping that we'll have some visitors - of the friend kind.
Jason will also be 30 this summer ~ plans are in the beginning stages of how to celebrate his big day!!
As I'm going to into this last week of 28 it's been an okay year. I'm kind of ready to leave it behind and bring on 29!!!

first 30/30 check off & a country concert!!
For weeks I was gung-ho about making my 30 before 30 list...and then once I and posted it I kind of forgot about it. Last weekend I finally did copy the list onto my iPhone so I have it with me where ever I go!
Last night I had a "pay it forward" kind of moment. A few friends and myself had planned to go to a $10 country concert and 2 of the people that were going to go bailed the day of. I tried to see if any of my other friends wanted the tickets but wasn't able to find anyone. So I decided on the way there that this would be my first "pay it forward" moment!! I was going to donate the tickets to someone and not let them pay me for them. Of course, I didn't have any stinking PIF cards but none-the-less I was excited about it {and I have witnesses if there is question}...
We got to the venue and I went to get the tickets and explained the situation to the staff. They wanted to get my cell number so that the person could pay me back but I insisted that I wanted to "pay it forward" and to tell the person they gave the tickets to to PIF and do something nice for someone else!!
While I don't know how the situation turned out I am hoping that 2 people enjoyed a super fun concert on my behalf and will actually go out there and PAY IT FORWARD!!!
Here's a few pictures from the concert :) From the first row!!!

Let's go fly a kite...
We headed to Long Beach, WA this last weekend with my parents, my second cousin's, and my great aunt and uncle. We had such a nice time. It was relaxing, full of good weather, family time, good food, fun games, and great conversations.
The family is from my Dad's side - they are my Dad's cousin's and aunt and uncle. I've certainly seen them many times but it has been at wedding and big family functions. It was SO nice to get to know them in a smaller setting. We all stayed at a house together that was about a 2 minute walk from the beach!!!
There aren't any pictures of the family...which is weird but I guess we were just so immersed in each other. There are plently of pictures of me & my kite and the beach though!!!
I pretty much love my rainbow kite. It got it in Long Beach, WA a few years back. I'm sad to report it is starting to tatter on the tail but I'm hoping some stiching will fix that!!
It is also a very nice treat to go to the beach in February and have it NOT rain!!!

chop, chop, chop...
This post is about a month delayed - I kind of forgot about it. I was flipping back through pictures and realized I'd never blogged about it.
For Christmas my parents got us a basic knife skills class at Sur la Table. We definitely were excited, though I have to admit, in the end, a bit disappointed.
Jason and I thought that we were going to learn how to chop different types of veggies and use lots of different types of knives. One of our real reasons for taking the class was to use lots of knives
There was about 16 - 18 people in our class and our Chef was pretty interested in showing us his skills and not as much about our skills, at least that is how I felt. He only talked to me once in 2 hours.
We did learn how to chop some fruits a veggies but for 3 of the 6 items we chopped we did the exact same technique...
While I did learn how to {awesomely} cut an onion a few different ways - I don't feel like I left with much else. And we only go to try one knife...major bummer.
We did end up getting a nice 10% of coupon and I found some awesome things in the clearance section and got a REALLY awesome new pan for about 65% off when all discounts were said and done.
While I would like to take more cooking classes - we won't be taking then at Sur la Table.
