Big weekend! My older brother graduated from law school yesterday. He is an amazing person who works his butt off. I am proud of him and everything he does. He is a hard worker, a great dad, an amazing brother, and a supportive husband.

So this past week I was on Spring Break, and I realized on like Friday that I think I had tried a ton of bakeries along the Wasatch Front. So here is my review of each place in order of days that I tried them:

#1 Krispy Kreme: There is nothing better then a hot Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut. We tried glazed, custard filled, chocolate cake, frosted. My favorite was the chocolate cake. I rank this 4/5
#2 Branbury Cross: They were all out of apple fritters when I got there (if you have not tried their apple fritters, run do not walk and get one today). We tried glazed, chocolate cake, raised with chocolate icing, white cake, and old fashioned. My favorite was the chocolate cake. I rank this 2/5
#3 Dicks Market: Nothing like Dicks bakery. We tried chocolate frosted raised with chocolate filling, a raised with mint frosting, and cake doughnuts. This is my go to bakery I love almost everything they have. I rank this 3/5
#4 Schmidt s Pastry Cottage: No doughnuts at Schmidts but we tried cookies. We tried German Chocolate Cookies, Mint and Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, Snicker doodle, Oatmeal Raisin, and Sugar Cookies. If you are a fan of Schmidts I do apologize but not a fan. I would go get the mint and chocolate sandwich cookies. I rank it 5/5
#5 Parsons Bakery: We tried Chocolate Cake doughnuts, White Cake doughnuts, German Chocolate Cookies, and Sugar Cookies. It was all so good. Parsons was my favorite bakery of the week. Every time, everything that I try I like. I rank it 1/5.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions of pastry shops for me to try. I am always up to trying new baked goods.

Also just an idea that I am trowing out to the cosmic cyber space, maybe I will start doing restaurant rankings. You never know

Spring Break is here and I am having so much fun! I went to Denver on Friday and got home on Monday nothing exciting happened there just hung out at my Aunt and Uncles house.
Today Dad, Ash, Sam, and I went to Utah County we hit up Krispy Kreme, and then headed to the Disney Store. I think that it is safe to say that my neice is very very loved. We also went to lunch at my favorite Deli. If you live close to North Salt Lake you have to try Leger's Deli.

Stay tuned tomorrow the Mills Hit the zoo!

Gathering #90

Went to book club this past week, and I realized that the women I love the most I read with. I love the opportunity that reading brings. I love how I feel when I finish a book, I love how it feels when I can't put it down. But the biggest thing that I love about book club is the women. I love them for different reasons. Here is what I love:

Jenny is so amazing, crafty, fun, and always positive. She is an amazing women, and brings a different perspective to my life.

Jessica is the life of the party. She is funny and cute. I love that she will read anything and see the good in it.

Wendy is deep. I feel like she is the one that brings the books into a different sphere. She is the one that can show us things that I never would have seen.

Ash is the founder of our book club. She is bubbly and cheerful. I love her to pieces. I love that she comes with questions about how we can apply any book to our lives. She is the sister that I always wanted (I am grateful that the above women have shared their sister with me).

Mom is the reason I love books. She made me read in the summer for 30 minutes a day, if not for her I don't think I would have the passion for books that I do.

Two of these women are my family. But I feel like the other three are my sisters, and I love them.

Tonya and Anna are amazing women and I love spending time with them.

All in all I love book club and the books we read, but more then anything I love the women.

Gathering #89

Today I drove to the airport to drop off my moms boss. I love the airport. I love the shuffle of people. I love the anticipation I feel when it is time to go on vacation. I love that the airport is always me happy to be going on vacation and usually happy to be coming home. It made me want to go on vacation. I am going to Denver in a little less then a month. That will have to get me through for now. 21 days till I go on vacation. I think I can make it through!

Gathering #88

I turned 27 this past weekend. 27! I am closer to thirty then twenty. And all though this should cause me panic and distress. I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday. I think my expectations were a little bit smaller because my birthday was on a Sunday. My family spoiled me rotten I have the greatest friends and I just got to chill. Oh and I had the coolest cake ever!
