happy friyay friends! you made it!!! i still have some work to do tonight and tomorrow for a charity event we are catering, but i'm feeling extra grateful today. 

wes has some changes and transitions happening, so he was home three days in a row this week. it is always a sweet treat to get a glimpse into what working with him every day will be like. we even got to spend some time with my brother and parents at a delicious sushi dinner at our favorite local spot. we had a bomb evening full of tasty fresh fish, japanese bar snacks and smooth sake. by some miracle, we had a little of our sake bottle left to take home. so it was a natural ingredient for today's friyay cocktail.
