Mostly pictures

Hello hello! Another Monday. I love Mondays because they feel like a fresh start to the week. Maybe I’m just weird.

I have some pictures to share!

Check out Hannah! She is doing so well in track this year. She runs the mile in 6:20 and the two mile in 14:01. What a beast! She’s always been a great athlete.

She’s grown up so much since she first began running track!

I could brag about Hannah all day long. I love my little sister so much! (more…)

Sharing

Hey! I promised I would share two tasty recipes.

cornbread

#1: My favorite corn bread. It’s sweetened with maple syrup and honey. I make a batch (or two) of it a week for snacking or as a side dish to lunch/dinner.

chickensoup

#2: Tuscan chicken soup. This soup is made in the slow cooker with chicken thighs, white beans, roasted red pepper, rosemary, and other delicious ingredients. My favorite part of this soup is the super tender chicken meat.

Other things going on in my life:

My brother got me listening to “Wagon Wheel” and now I’m obsessed with it (as you can tell from the screen shot–I was listening to the song at 5:34 a.m….).

pets

Felix continues to climb everything, Lily is still adorable, and Lola loves her fruits and veggies.

cake

I made Jimmy’s brother a chocolate chip cookie cake because he helped me with a school project. Hopefully he forgives me for my terrible piping skills!

My dad and I went on a father-daughter date to Monterey Bay Fish Grotto on Friday. We shared a delicious appetizer of grilled tuna, salmon, and swordfish on top of a chili mayonnaise sauce.

The best part of our date wasn’t the amazing food, it was when my dad went to the bathroom and came back with like five paper towels stuffed in his pocket exclaiming that they were “so cool!” because they had fish on them. I love my dad.

I’m really lovin’ Galatians 6:9. I keep this picture hanging on my mirror as a daily reminder to never give up!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
