Evonne and I basically are twelve years old, and decided to do an Iron Chef Challenge. I wanted her to try Black Bean Brownies which she tried...about 3 crumbs worth but her cutie daughter LOVED THEM. TOTALLY chose mine over her Mom's, boo ya Evonne! You might not find this video as funny as we did, but who cares we had a blast!




When I first met Evonne I knew instantly that I wanted to be her friend. I knew I could trust her, depend on her, not worry about what she thought of me and could feel how genuine she was right away.

My Five Top Reasons Why Evonne is the Bestest

#5 I love having her as my "wing man" or WO-man I should say.

#4 We complain to eachother about silly insecure things but don't have to worry about sounding dumb to each other cause we totally understand each other.

#3 She is a sweet Mama and wife and reminds me to be better every day. My daughter just ADORES Savannah, we talk about her every single day.

#2 She works hard for her family and friends, I am amazed at all she does and really look up to her.

#1 Evonne is the BEST DANCER EVER, she is hilarious, fun and can LET GO! (which ps you need to teach me how to do)




Love you Evonne! So glad we met IRL and can be friends, and that now our daughters can be friends! Don't forget to visit Evonne over at http://www.inevergrewup.net/

Vanessa you crack me up. It looks like you girls have a lot of fun together. Loved that Iron Chef video. I'm on my way over to check out your blog.

Krystal said...

what a fun idea to swap blogs... Vanessa seems super-cool (obviously if she's friends with you). And the iron chef competition looks great! I LOVE the idea of putting M&Ms in the brownies... I'll have to try that sometime. AND your dance moves are pretty much amazing! Looks like you've been having fun

okay, so maybe the reason I haven't watch these videos are because nothing shows up for me. :( Maybe I will have to go find a PC so I can watch them. I have no idea why it's not working. Lame.
