laura and i waiting and waiting and waiting:)

today my baby brother turned 23 years old. i just can't believe it. he was up at summer camp for a week so you can imagine how excited i was to get to see him this evening. for his birthday, a few of us went to famous dave's....ahahahaha:) the all you can eat meat place! it was actually my first time there and truly, i don't know that it will become a weekly thing for me:) BUT i can say, it wasn't horrible. and the company was so nice. that does make all the difference in the world. i had mac and cheese, fries, and really yummy cinnamon apple slices. everybody else had this platter of food---served on a trash can lid---and when they brought it out, they chanted, "feast, feast, feast..." it was so funny:) also, i am not a bbq sauce kind of girl. it is ok, but tonight i realized that i can do without:) i can eat it but i don't need it:) and i know this because i tried like five different ones tonight and they were ok but life will be ok without.
they have these funny shirts. i laughed and took a photo:
i am so grateful for the amazing young man that joe is. i am so proud of him. just my entire family. they are good people:)
cc, you read this...i am coming to paint your doors in the morning:D
love

ps...this is just a bonus---i love, love, love both. together they are just fire.
