I had a delightful and fast weekend, how about you? I finished up my last swim meet and went to the mall with my boy (he needed new shorts) Sunday was filled with church and homework. Also my boyfriend’s trampoline. I. LOVE. TRAMPOLINES. [Can ya tell I used to be a gymnast?]

How about some pictures?

Bible Verse of the day: But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. Jeremiah 17:7

Favorite flavor of spring? COCONUT. This calls for a recipe!


Coconut Macaroons

1 pkg. (14 oz.)  flaked Coconut
2/3 cup  sugar
6 Tbsp. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp.  salt
4 egg whites
1 tsp.  almond extract
1.  Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour baking sheets and set aside.  Combine coconut, sugar, flour and salt in large bowl. Stir in he whites and almond extract until well blended.

2. Drop coconut mixture into mounds, 2 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets, using about 1 tablespoonful of the coconut mixture for each mound. (This should make A LOT of mounds, btw!)

3. Bake 20 min. or until edges are golden brown. Immediately remove from baking sheets to wire racks. ENJOY!

What is YOUR favorite spring flavor?

Saturday Saturday

Oh hello Saturday 🙂 TOMORROW IS SPRING! YIPPIE!

Today I have my last swim meet of the season. (Can I get a woot woot?!) Of course I am sad, but it will be nice to have freedom and a life sometimes ;). Next week there are 4 non-mandatory practices, so maybe i’ll hit one or two of them up-maybe not LOL.

1 week from today I will be running my second half marathon!


I decided to sign up for a half marathon in March, why???? I went for an unseasonably warm weather run in February and it felt good. (Kind of.. haha) so I was looking at races that night and signed up! Well I didn’t run outside again until I was in Florida just last week.

So we shall see how this half marathon turns out. I expect it to be HUGE and FULL but that makes it so fun!! (Most of the time)

I have found that I prefer small races vs. huge races.

That is one of the reasons I’m not doing the Pittsburgh Marathon [The other reason is that is is on a Sunday and I don’t miss church on a Sunday unless I am ill]

 

Other cool news:

I figured out my recipe page! It is about time .. seriously! I shall be posting lots of yummies now 😀
