tucanos sucks

As you all know, September 28th was my 21st birthday!

And we all know how excited I get about my birthday.

On the 27th, after a looong day of classes, Ryan told me to get all glitzed up cause we are going out!

We started driving up towards Salt Lake and that's when I had an idea of where he was taking me....

a place that absolutely BLOWS the Brazillian Steakhouse, Tucanos, out of the water.

Texas de Brazil.

If you look up the reviews online of this ammmmazing restaurant, you will find everyone complaining about how expensive it is and how you can find the same exact thing at Tucanos.

WRONG.

So wrong.

First of all, we all know that Utah peeps are cheap.

Second, there is absolutely no way you can compare Texas de Brazil to Tucanos.

The meat melts in your mouth, the fried bananas are delicious, the service is amazing, the atmosphere is sophisticated, and the experience is unforgettable.

I guess people don't know a good thing when they see it?

We were put in a quiet part of the restaurant, were practically waited on hand and foot, and we enjoyed Every. Single. Bite.

It was the perfect setting for Ryan & I to talk about anything and everything.

We had such a great time, that we were there for almost 2 hours.

Gosh, time flies by when you are having fun!

At the end of the dinner when they brought the dessert tray, we decided to try one out and Ryan reminded them to also bring out my birthday dessert.

I was expecting a little scoop of ice cream, the typical free birthday dessert.

Ummm, nope.

They let me pick from the ridiculously awesome dessert tray... 

For free.

So I picked the Brazillian Cheesecake with caramel.

Yummmmmmmmm.

Pretty much a perfect start to my birthday weekend :)

2 Peas in a Pod

I've been on a blogging break because I've been with the fam, enjoying a little weekend getaway.

Zannie, one of my closest cousins/friends, got married this past weekend in Las Vegas and it was one gorgeous wedding :)

If you've been 'round these parts for a while you know who my husband Ryan is, and my brother Evan.

But since my youngest brother Jesse still lives with the 'rents, he doesn't get to star on the blog as much.

Jesse decided to take a break from being an only child and came back with Ryan, Evan & I to Provo for a few days to par-tay during his spring break.

Ummm, so fun!?

{We hit up the Nickelcade and Jesse won the 1,000 ticket jackpot, what the heck?!}

Jesse and I are 5 years apart, and we used to get in those brother/sister tiffs all the time.

My mom would always say:

"You two only fight cause you are exactly alike."

Ok mom, sure.

Let me tell you a little bit about Jesse, tell me if it sounds familiar.

He loves being the life of the party, making sarcastic comments, is cocky/confident, he has an infectious laugh, is studious, loves to meet new people and make them laugh, loves to smile, loves to read, doesn't like hard core rap but instead low key music, likes to cook, loves his sleep, and loves being in the company of his family and friends.

Ho......ly crap.

That's me. 

Ahhhhhhh!

So it's pretty much really fun having someone like me around the house :)

The boys made some steak for dinner and Jesse made some delicious Spinach Artichoke dip.

A boy who loves to cook? Ya, his future wife is pretty lucky.

You're welcome.
