heading to illinois for the weekend. i hate driving, but i am doing it! good thing i have an ipass to make things easier. and two cool friends both named kirsten to spend time with. and, a possible ikea trip....it might be a bad idea for me to go in that store alone though.

last weekend was lots of fun with our family celebration party. so many people made the trip to our house, and celebrating together was special. not to self: next time do not buy a cake with red icing where the amount of dye probably outweighed the amount of other ingredients.
