a crockpot dinner with dear friends

i love cooking a good pot roast in the crock pot when the weather turns cold. it just makes the apartment feel so cozy and it makes my culinary skills look above average. last week we had some cute dinner guests to help us eat all our yummy food. the grochmals are now joined by the recently born braden... he definitely brings some extra cuteness to our hang outs. we are going to miss the grochmals when they move in january so it's nice to have these next couple months to soak up as much of them as we can!

they are such great friends to us and we probably wont know what to do without them. who will go with us to portillo's? who will walk with us to rite aid for a scoop of ice cream or make late night 711 runs whilst tyler's bike tire decides to give way? who will go with us to the farmers market in downtown fullerton or to oahu shave ice at 9:30 at night? who will stay up until the wee hours of the morning talking sports with tyler? who will be there to listen to my worries about life & starting a family? ahhh... rachel, nathan and braden. you will be sorely missed.

rachel, i know the deliciousness of my food caused you to shed a few tears, but don't cry while you read this post (because i almost did). we love you and we will most definitely come visit you down in san diego!

see! i told you he was cute!!!
