My Wedding Experience

I was a bridesmaid for the first time recently. I had mixed feelings at first about being a bridesmaid. What exactly does a bridesmaid do?? I've never been one so of course I was worried that I would suck at it. But I agreed to do it anyway for my friend Rosie. She later ended up asking me to do a toast because she remembered my memorable speech from my mother's 50th birthday party. Rosie has been such a good friend to me, how could I refuse such an honor? In the end I'm so glad that I did it. It's an experience that I will never forget. I had the chance to travel to Portland, Oregon (something I probably wouldn't ever think to do before). We had a blast on the town during the bachelorette party. Then I got to witness a beautiful outdoor ceremony. As bridesmaids, we received pink flasks engraved with our names on them. A heartfelt token from the bride.

The experience was priceless and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Peach Pie

I'd never call myself an expert chef or an expert eater. However, I've recently decided that every young woman should know how to cook. That doesn't neccessarily mean they have to cook often, but it does mean they should know how. I'm not a hopeless cause in the kitchen, but I do need assistance. So I had a good friend of mine help me make my very first peach pie. Freshly peeled peaches and all. The pies were a big hit at my family 4th of July BBQ. We made two pies successfully and complimented them with Bluebell Homeade Vanilla Ice cream. I'm convinced that ANYTHING tastes best with Bluebell.

I'm looking forward to making bigger and better dishes in the future.
