we grew up

tonight we celebrated my roomate emily's birthday now that she is back in town! We went to Sherpa's Adventure- which you need to go to if you've never been- and had really great tibetan food. After talking about:

- politics
- credit and loans
- the housing economy
- business contracts

...we realized we were all grown up and adultish.... :/ It's crazy to think a couple years ago we were daring people to eat huge plates of food in one bite in the dining hall. Anyway's growing up is good, don't get me wrong...as long as we can still have fun while we're at it! That's what I'm really thankful for in my friends...we laugh alot...probably because we are totally convinced we are hilarious.

On another note : Emily wanted a total chocolate cake for her birthday and so I made her one from scratch in the shape of a heart....but fyi.... if a recipe calls for boiling water, make sure you mix in the eggs first.... they were definitely white cooked egg bits in the final product. I warned everyone before we ate it but no one said anything... maybe they were just being nice? Here's pictures though :)

p.s. please notice our paper tree in the background that tifah has tried to convince me is generic enough to last through all seasons....an easter tree?...really?
