elko

this weekend our whole apartment went home with miriam to her house in elko, nevada

this road trip was a breeze compared to our cali one

first of all, the drive time was only 4 hours, not 10

we slept in, did laundry, got reminded of how nice it is to live in a HOUSE and be in a family

toured the town, ALMOST DYED MY HAIR BROWN but didn't.....

miriam did get her hair done- cut and colored. it turned out really cute as you can see from the pictures below

i mostly wanted to go brunette just for the reaction i would get from the total surprise

celebrated sister shumway's birthday by making her a bomb breakfast

and got treated to the best mexican food i have had in a looooooong time

as usual, my inclination to take pictures happens when good food is around

consequently the only pictures i have from this weekend is at Dos Amigos

we pretended it was miriam's sister's birthday instead of her mom's.

obviously her mom didn't want to wear that thing but.... we wanted the free desert

SO

we told the waiter it was kate's birthday when kate was in the bathroom

her face was priceless when a bunch of waiters came out singing

and plopped that sombrero on her head

she was so mad hahaha

honestly their white cheese sauce is unreal.

completely addictive - mir calls it 'crack sauce'

that pretty much sums it up

thanks again to miriam and her amazing family for a wonderful weekend!
