once upon a time...

my good friend amber & i had a wonderful day together.

the day was documented by camera

but due to my blog slump

and being forced to blog via laptop

of course, i put it off

after emptying the contents of my memory card,

i remembered this day with a smile

and thought i would pay homage to our fun

:)

that day we did a few fun things

one of them being trying a recipe for Oreo Balls

i would highly recommend them

they were cheap, easy, & delicious

some ingredients & supplies...

yes, i was crushing oreos with my lemon zester

and sneaking bites while amber made a trip to the bathroom...

final product

let's just say our husbands loved them

they were super rich but didn't last very long

if that tells you anything :)

later, we enjoyed a few episodes of one of my favorite shows, Wife Swap

and some Strawberry Paraiso Teavana tea,

which was a sweet gift ordered by mail for me from Amber

it is a fantastic blend that re-steeps well and actually contains popcorn!

see?!

these are my favorite tea mugs from Starbucks!

and last,

our attempt at getting a good picture with Nash

yes, i had some fun with editing... i like changing the color of things

since i have no talent when it comes to the realm of photography

look at nash's little tongue!

doesn't she have the prettiest eyes?!

this lady has meant a lot of me and helped me through one of the hardest seasons of my life (so far... i know i haven't lived and lost much yet at all....) she is a wonderful listener and encourager. she's lifted me up in prayer and been great company in a city where i still don't have a lot of solid friendships. love her! and i've loved looking back on happy days today :)
