Cooking and BeerWoohoo! Happy Friday Everyone! Why do I feel like we are always on the countdown!? Oh well. It’s Friday: the best day ever! I hope you guys have some fabulous plans for this weekend! It’s supposed to be nice around here, so I think we will be spending some much needed time outdoors! We also have a big trip to Wyoming and Montana coming up, which I will get into in a minute.
