Some Other Random Things From Recently

I forgot to show you what the MASSIVE sandstorm that stranded us in the Phoenix airport looked like:

Sorry about my reflection in the window.

Also, in the last two weeks I have celebrated two of my favorite guys' birthdays: Chad and Andrew.
Chad's birthday was July 4th (conveniently easy to remember) and, because I know he wouldn't like it, I wont tell you that he turned 29. (Ooops! Sorry babe.) He was determined not to do any celebrating (he doesn't like the attention he says) and I was still in CA on his birthday, so the next weekend I made him a nice meal of Hawaiian Haystacks (his choice) and one of my Grandmother's famous chocolate cakes (mine tasted nowhere NEAR as good as hers!):

Then I remembered that he doesn't particularly care for chocolate on chocolate cakes. FAIL.

My little brother Andrew's birthday was July 13th. 22! I can't believe it. So, I took him to dinner at Happy Sumo (mmmm... sushi...), made him a [non-chocolate] cake (because he doesn't eat chocolate. What is with these guys and not wanting chocolate? Does not compute in my brain.) and then I took him to a 6:15pm preshowing of Harry Potter 7.2 the next day.

Yellow cake with a homemade cream cheese frosting. He said it was DELISH!

A horrible-quality pic of us in the theater.

Hopefully later tonight I'll have another post about my weekend!
