1. my dad made me and becky each a cutting board. MY DAD MADE THIS! it's so beautiful and i love it - the wood is all from our farm which, of course, makes it even more special. i'm sad i won't have a real kitchen until this summer because it means this cutting board has to stay in storage at my parents' house. frowny face. i could stare at this all day long.
2. my sister and her boyfriend got me a kitchenaid stand mixer!! it has been my dream to own one of these since...well, since i discovered they existed. i'm SO excited to move into a real apartment and make delicious stuff constantly. becky really knew what the perfect present was for me, and i feel like such a grown up lady by owning this. again, it will stay at home until i move into an apartment. frowny face again.
commonality? am i really this transparent? answer: yes.
