Jason's not a pasta person and he even said that it was really good! Plus I got him to eat vegetables other than corn. HALLELUIA!!

We plan on spending the weekend with family.....Going to Jason's aunt and uncle's place either on Friday or Sunday and spending the 4th w/ my family in D-town! Can't wait!!
