I wanted to wish a very happy birthday to my good friend Kara! We've had a lot of fun together throughout the years. Here is a collage I made for her....
Kara's fiancee recently surprised her with plans to go to Hawaii for her birthday, 
so that is where she is right now. (For the second year in a row.) Lucky girl! I travel vicariously through her :) I can only dream of a honeymoon as long and luxurious as hers this upcoming September...two weeks in Italy and then two weeks in Fiji. Wow!
A few of us got together at Champps on Sunday to celebrate Kara's birthday before she left. I have to say that Mary's little boy Chase looks like a little "man" now with that haircut (He is 16 months old). He is so cute! Mandie looks fabulous and feeling great about being pregnant. Her baby girl is due Labor Day weekend, the week before Kara's wedding. She was supposed to be a bridesmaid but decided that her due date was just too close!

In other news, the good ol' City of Hugo now has a grocery store about two miles from me! I have waited 5 years for this, people. It is a big deal. Festival Foods opened a few weeks ago so I went for a big trip on Sunday. It is so nice in there! We went a little crazy and spent $250. We haven't gone grocery shopping together in like 8-10 months! King Crab legs were just $8.88/lb. Have you ever seen them that cheap? I bought 4 lbs!
Have a nice day...just 3 more days of work and then I get a week off before summer school starts!
Isn't is funny how happy a new grocery store can make us.. I am the same way. I always say to Katie that when we move, we have to move close to a nice grocery store and a Target..

that's cool there's a new grocery store so close to you! :) I don't like crab, so I don't know how much it costs, but that price sounds cheap to me! :)
