Mom's Visit

Ok, besides the epic bra-fitting incident, my mom and I had a great visit. She and I took a jewelry making class on Thursday night and made beautiful earrings! I am hoping to make a special pair for each of my bridesmaids to wear on the wedding day. We had a great time joking around with the other ladies in the class and were exhausted after 2 hours of listening to our extremely talkative instructor! Here is a picture of us taking a break from wire-wrapping:


Friday night after work, we went to Pizzeria Bianco.

This is a famously delicious pizza restaurant in downtown Phoenix that has been raved about by many famous people (including Martha Stewart) and the likes of Food & Wine Magazine, NY Times, etc. When it comes down to it, this place has been called the best pizza in the United States! Anyway - Jay and my mom got there at 4:00 to get in line, and my friend Kelley and I met up with them and Ryan who had gotten there shortly before us. We together waited another 2 hours to be seated. This we were prepared for. It is widely known that there is a wait and that it can easily exceed 3 hours...all of which really wasn't that bad believe it or not! It was a beautiful day, we enjoyed cold beer from Bar Bianco next door, and great conversation with friends.

And the pizza was fabulous. I especially loved the Biancoverde which is a white pizza (homemade mozzarella, ricotta and parmesan) topped with fresh arugula. SOOOO good. We all had our favorites and had a great time.

Having said goodbye to my mom Monday morning, I'm already missing her. Luckily, it's only another few weeks until my trip home to Vermont!!!
