The good Lord heard my prayers and delivered me Heather this weekend from Santa Barbara. I love her. We got to catch up and she let me cry and drool all over her shirt like a good best friend. I got to spend quality time with my second family and got to say bye to Matt as he moves to Colorado for a year! Heather is dating a really cute Air Force boy who is from Texas and takes her hunting and stuff. SWOOOOOON. Wedding bells are getting loud at The Parken’s house. What? Who said that?

Heather and I made garlic mashed potatoes and brown gravy to go along with the stuffed portabelo mushrooms and the pork and beef and three salads. Typical.

Alec told me if I brought Gordon Ramsay home to meet them he would kick his ass.

It rained this week and Jake borrowed my puffy jacket from high school. He looks good in it. I like puffy stuff.
