Abby and I jumped in the car right after school and headed on the journey to Mesquite where we would stay the night. We hit major traffic on the 210 and it added 2 hours into our journey.

Turning 29, China Style

When I came out of the shower to my besties singing and saw this I knew it was going to be a great day. Those are HPC donuts. China doesn't do cake. China doesn't do frosting. But China does to bakeries. My friends know that bakeries and me go together like salt and pepper. This was perfect. After devouring this cake it was time for...
