Weekend Goodness- Birthday Edition

Everything is (finally) turing green! Leaves exploded on the trees overnight. 

My friend, Steph, invited me to a Zumba-thon that her friend from college was helping teach.
It was hilarious and so much fun! I learned that after being trained to keep my arms glued to my sides (from Irish dancing since I was little), it is really tricky for me to get them to do what I want. 

Caramel apples are one of my absolute favorite foods. After the zumba-thon, we needed nourishment :) Someone mentioned this caramel apple place called Amy's, so we had to go check it out. These were delish! 

I got one with caramel, chocolate, and cayenne pepper. I got one for Dan with pecans. 

 Dan, Sarah, Steph, and Alli helped me celebrate my birthday on Saturday night. We had drinks, snacks, and played Cards Against Humanity- it was hilarious.
Birthday drinks with friends: Peach Sangria
(2 bottle moscato, 1/2 cup peach schnapps, 1/2 cup brandy, a can or 2 of lemony soda- I think I used sprite, chopped up fruit- I used peaches, strawbs, mango, and raspberries. I let it rest in my fridge for about 10 hours.)

Birthday snacks with friends: puppy chow (Dan's specialty to make, my specialty to eat), salsa, cheese, sausage, and homemade guacamole (3 avocados, 1 jalepeno, a little tomato, a little onion, a little cilantro, a little salt and pepper)



I gave Maggie and Nella new bones this weekend. Maggie took hers into her crate and just rested her paw on the bone like this for a while before she started chewing on it. What a goofy dog! 



My sister, Meagan (the one with the cap), got her Master's in social work today!  I'm such a proud sister- I know she is going affect so many people's lives in such a positive way.
Meagan asked me if I would hood her for her hooding ceremony :) 
Birthday/ graduation lunch on the terrace in Madison.
It was such a beautiful day! 


Thai Tea
Mmmmmmm

This is the best cake ever.
My dad makes it every year for my birthday. It's angel food cake with cool whip/pudding frosting. 


I've been on the go all weekend and now I need a little relaxation time. Have a good week!
