Hey. I just wanted to pop in really quickly and share a recipe before I head off to school for the day.

Yes, my room is lime green. My dad likes to call it “puke green.”

I made some sweet potato muffins about two weeks ago, so I’m working on perfecting the recipe before I share it with you guys. They’re really good though! I’m also going to make butternut squash muffins when I find the time (school is killing me). I think I’m becoming obsessed with muffins?!

What is your favorite flavor of muffins? Any muffin recipe requests?

Bible verse of the day: For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. 1 Peter 2:15-16

Lovey Dovey

Jimmy and I have been dating for four years now. I can hardly believe that I started dating him when I was a junior in high school and now I’m a junior in college. He started dating me when he was 18 and now he’s 22. It’s crazy how fast time flies… when you’re having fun ;).

We’ve been through a lot together. We’ve changed and grown. We’ve also had so much fun these past four years.

I don’t know if I ever mentioned it, but we met at church! I was new to our church and after a while (we were both super shy), we would talk after Bible classes. We eventually exchanged phone numbers, hung out a few times, and started dating soon after. The rest is history. He’s my big buddy and I love being with him.

We live almost an hour away from each other, so we usually only hang out on the weekends. We try to really enjoy the few hours/days that we do get to hang out. Jimmy is seriously the most patient and kind person I know. I feel so blessed.

You know why else Jimmy is awesome?

HE BAKED ME PUMPKIN MUFFINS FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY.He’s never baked before and he used The Pioneer Woman’s recipe! I’m in loooove.

Happy anniversary to us 🙂
