First and foremost…

Happy Birthday to my little sister, Hannah! She turned 14 today.

Rock on little Hannah!

I feel so blessed to be as close as I am with my sister. Here’s some pictures from when we were “youngsters.”For Hannah’s birthday my family + Jimmy + her boyfriend are all going out to eat and then to a baseball game. Fun stuff! I’m also (in the process of) making her a giant cookie cake 🙂

Recent Eats:

Pork chops. I was out to eat at Eat N Park and had a random craving for them. Now I’ve been getting them the past few times I’ve went out to eat. Eggs. With salt & pepper. They were supposed to be scrambled, but I guess I didn’t really scramble them.Zucchini-banana bread. Recipe to come very soon!Lunch with my momma. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and had bread, some seafood/avocado appetizer, and salmon + taco salad. It was fun to spend time with my mom. Baked honey tofu. I can post a recipe if anyone is interested, but it’s really simple. Very tasty though 🙂Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, random. It hit the spot though! I made roasted turkey, stuffing, & crescent rolls. Also included: canned gravy and pumpkin muffins. Yummm.Mom’s chili. Always a favorite.

Bible verse of the day: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

Lovely weekend

I think the word lovely perfectly describes my weekend.

Highlights of the weekend:

  • Friday: Going to Kennywood with Jimmy. It was Hannah’s school picnic day and since I was still her guardian for the week, I got to go! I had a blast and actually rode a new roller coaster. Best of all? I got to have some delicious watermelon and stayed till the park closed.
  • Saturday: My parents came home from their anniversary trip! I also washed my truck and went out to dinner with my family + Hannah’s friend.
  • Sunday: Going to church and hearing some awesome sermons, enjoying lunch made on the grill, and planting my garden.

I don’t have a lot of pictures from Sunday… just one of Jimmy’s little brother 🙂*

I had such a nice weekend! I feel so blessed, as per usual. This week I am teaching four Spinning classes and my mom is having foot surgery on Thursday so I’ll be taking care of her and the house.
