Happy Birthday Rachel

On Sunday, Rachel (my roomie) celebrated her 25th Birthday! Jenny (my other roomie) Jill (Rachel's Sis) and I threw Rachel an awesome party on Saturday night.
We served great appetizers and everyone made their own "mocktails" We had all kinds of juices, and syrups, cherries, sugar... It was very tasty!
We also had a card-making table set up where people made birthday cards for Rachel. Some people were very creative. Then we played a mean game of apples-to-apples. I tied for first :(
It was a great time and I think that everyone who showed up really enjoyed it. Here's to awesome party planning experience!!!

Apple Picking

Monday was a holiday, so Rachel, Amber, Rachel, Dave and I went apple-picking upstate. A perfect fall activity! The only problem was the weather. It was like 95 degrees outside!! It was so hot and we spent most of the day complaining. We picked huge bag of apples and left. We were really hungry and wanted to eat at Cracker Barrel, but there wasn't one nearby. Then on our way out, we experienced brake problems. They were smoking and smelling- not a good sign- so we pulled over and found an Audi dealership. We waited there for a while and they couldn't find anything wrong! Luckily there was a Cheesecake Factory in the vicinity. So we stopped and had a huge lunch... definitely the highlight of the day. The ride home wasn't too much fun either because it was so hot and our butts were sticking to the leather interior. And of course we experienced traffic. We were really exhausted when we got home! Now I have way more apples than I know what to do with. Holler if you have any good recipes.
