New favorite shoes

I went shopping last night with Angi and Amanda. The goal was the find
a valentine's day gift for my bootydoo but I only found shoes for
myself. I'd feel bad if I weren't such a good girlfriend. :)

San Diego

Yesterday

Tomorrow is my brother Chase's 19th birthday so tonight we had his family birthday dinner. I went home and started cooking stove-top lasagna this afternoon and I threw my first bowl on my own! It came out messy because I don't have any tools at all. There is a kit you can buy at the ceramics store but they were out yesterday and said I should be able to get one next week. I can't wait to get the right tools needed to make beautiful pieces! I decided today that I am for-sure going to invest in a kiln. I want to fill up the cupboards with bowls and plates and make flower pots and everything! Super excited.

For Chase's birthday my mom, Clay and I all got him a book full of gift cards and lottery scratchers and he really liked it. I was stoked because the gift I got him for Christmas didn't impress him too much.

After dinner and MUCH dessert we played my mom's new Wii game, Just Dance. It's pretty much DDR but with your whole body and you hold the controller in your hand so it can read your motions. I won everyone at every dance EXCEPT one. My mom beat me... and at COTTON-EYED JOE of all songs. Ridiculous. The first photo is Kevin dancing to some African dance with my mom.

Tomorrow morning the week begins. This weekend was absolutely incredible and I made a lot of memories within the last 3 days. I feel filled up and ready for the week! Hope everyone has a wonderful first-week of February. Mine will be busy but Kevin and I are going to San Diego this weekend so the thought of that will keep me going!

This morning Natalee and I went to Redlands Ceramics for a pottery wheel lesson. I have a kick-wheel at home that I came up on for free and I never learned how to put that thing to use! We took a private lesson and I really learned a lot. I think it will be easier to use what we learned today and just experiment and figure things out on our own from here. Hopefully! I am so pumped to get the wheel going.
