Weekend Update

This weekend was such a fun and relaxing one!

We started off Valentine's Day with homemade cinnamon buns! Of course I had to made pink frosting and use sprinkles for the occasion.
 We stopped by the grocery store and the Girl Scouts were out front. The shortbread cookies are my favorite!!!
Saturday was beautiful with highs in the 60's, so Mike and I enjoyed a picnic lunch at the park!

 Yummy strawberries always make me happy!
 Sunday was a really good church service. So happy to finally be going to church regularly again.

I made homemade chicken n dumplings for dinner on Sunday. It was a pretty cold and dreary day, so a warm comfort food was much needed.

Hope you had a nice weekend as well! I'm looking forward to seeing what this week will bring.

Friday!

Happy Friday the 13th and almost Valentine's Day! Things have been pretty quiet here on the blog lately, but I just haven't had much to write about. Life has been really great, work is going good, and I have no complaints! Some highlights of this week include...


1. Getting my diploma in the mail! I officially have a BS in Environmental Science and Policy AND an AA in Business!!!

2. My cousin, Arynn, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl late Tuesday evening!! Her name is Alexis and she is the first great grand-kid in our family!!!! I can't wait to meet her!

3. This might be too much information, but Mike has been putting dryer sheets in his boots to help combat stinky feet syndrome. He pulled the dryer sheet from his shoe in this shape! Obviously it looks like the magnificent state of Florida. So weird!

4. Mike's friend, David, had a birthday this week and I asked him what he would like me to bake for him. He said pineapple upside down cake! So, I baked these little guys.

5. We don't have any huge plans for Valentine's Day this year, but that's exactly what I'm looking forward to! I'm planning to make homemade cinnamon buns for breakfast and a yummy steak for dinner. Other than that I think we'll just be relaxing.

Hope you have a great weekend and a happy Valentine's Day!!!
