Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

On the Path to Success!

An Unexpected Turn of Events
A Fabulous Friday

The tournament is looking good for us! We won both games today andΒ beat our rivals!Β We haven’t beat them since fifth grade so it was a big deal.

getting a little cocky

I would say I did pretty good.Β 8 for 8 on my free throws! I also fouled out… but we pulled it off!

Now we have to win 3 games tomorrow and we’ll be the champs!

We went out for dinner to celebrate a hard effort.Β Carbs… <3!

They give you their bread as appetizers. Best. Bread. Ever. Dense, loafy, perfection.

They have olive oil and pesto butter to spread. PERFECT.

I got a salad with my meal. It’s supposed to be Hot Bacon spinach but I got ranch instead… still not a bacon fan!

It was the perfect size. Not too big so I still had room for the entree. And I got my daily serving of greens!

Since I eat meat and am branching out on foods now, I was able to order what the restaurant’s famous for – half and half! (half meat half cheese/alfredo) I ordered linguine.

There’s also a meatball under there – I didn’t know it came with.

Let me tell you, it hit the spot. Carb heaven.

My mom got the penne half and half.

The garlic bread was also to die for. Dipped in the sauce… <3!

We both took home leftovers and a piece of bread. I am excited for tomorrow’s lunch!

We’ve been relaxing the remainder of the night. Watched the Michigan State/Penn State game. Go Sparty! Championship tomorrow! Poop’s been adorable too.
