Seasonal

Hey there!

I recently bought and cooked two seasonal food items. Huzzah! Both of them came from a wee little fruit stand about 1 minute from campus.

First up: Spaghetti squashI cut the squash in half and cooked one side. I brushed it with olive oil, sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and microwaved it (lazy) for about 7 minutes in 1/4 cup of water. I scraped the squash out with a fork and topped it with spaghetti sauce. My thoughts: I wish I would have roasted it!

Up next: PumpkinI bought a pie pumpkin, peeled and cut it, and roasted it for 45 minutes at 375* with olive oil, salt, and cinnamon. My thoughts: It was amazing.

Other random things:

I was working on a school project that required me to include some old pictures. I asked my mom to help me find some and she found this gem…..I actually blended in with the wall. Don’t ask me why I was wearing a cow sweatsuit (I’m lactose intolerant LOL) that says “I’m udderly adorable.” Oh my.

Pittsburgh has some of the craziest weather. Yesterday it was in the 80’s and I actually saw snow in the forecast for next week. What?!

Bible verse of the day: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

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 🙂
