First Friday's Friend
Meet: Adria Macdonald
Age: 30 and lovin' it
Birthday: Sept. 30th
Adria and Rob
Favorite Thing to do: Look at decorator books and dream up a cheaper way to do it.
Favorite quote: Right now it's "There is no one perfect way to be a good mother... What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else." Elder Russell M. Ballard
Something crazy others might not know: I'm a little too vanilla (normal), but I guess one "sprinkle" is my husband and I have slept in a cow barn in the Swiss Alps before. Watch out for the earwigs - ewww!
Guilty pleasure: Peanut Butter Cup Perfection ice cream at Cold Stone - soooo many WW points.
Thing I Admire Most About Adria: She never speaks bad about anyone.....rather she finds the good in everyone!
My Favorite Memory of Adria: I have many great memories of times spent with Adria, but to date my favorite memory was going over to her house to have her help me with my Cruella DeVill hat for Halloween. I got it in my head I could create my own, and she helped me (did ALL the work) to make it come out awesome. The hat was awesome, but it was the talking and getting advice and learning from her example that I most like to remember....I watched her sing and dance with her kids, clean her house, get everyone- including me- lunch, and all while helping me with my project. She is an amazing person with SO MANY TALENTS!
She has a great voice and an even greater heart: Adria is so willing to help anyone and everyone, and she is the interior decorator I could only dream of being. From helping me reupholster my lazy boy chair, to refinishing a dresser and making her own pillows, to teaching a class on how to make perfect cinnamon rolls, Adria is one awesome woman! I love her and her cute little family and feel blessed to have her as one of my bestest friends! She always makes you feel good about yourself when you talk to her, and she is so inspiring when it comes to taking on projects! She is beautiful and also is a great bargain shopper - thanks for the great jeans you found (someday I hope yo look as good as you in my pair!)
Thank you Adria for being my friend!!!

Thank you Adria for being my friend!!!
The lazy boy she helped me take from this, to...............
This!!! (every time I sit in it I think of you Adria)
The hat she helped me make- which completely made the costume - and all from just looking at it on a video!
Adria's Cinnamon Roll class - SO GOOD!!!
Everyone loved learning!
Trick: use a LOT of cinnamon and sugar!
Just seeing these makes my mouth water!

I don't know how often Chip reads your guy's blog. I know my husband only gets on ours if I tell him to look at something on there. Anyways I grew up with Chip and we were in the same ward and went to school together for a lot of years. I was a good friend of the family's and found Paul on facebook and found your blog through his. I hope you don't mind me checking it out. It's fun to find old friend and see where life has taken them. Congratulations on your little son. He is adorable. You married an amazing man and I'm sure you are equally as amazing. Please tell him I said "HI" and I'm glad you all are doing well!
Thanks,
Angie
