memorial day weekend

Thank goodness for 3 day weekends. This one was much needed and I took full advantage of it.

Friday some friends from work and I tried a new place "Yes You Canvas".  We picked it because we got to make our own peacock painting. And I gotta say, I love mine. Even though it's not that great, it turned out a hell of a lot better than I thought it would. And I had an awesome time with my co-workers. I am seriously so blessed to have such great ones!



Saturday I met up with my mom and went to the Riverside Arts Market and the Spring Fest Riverside put on. Talk about awesome time. Anytime spent with my mom is pretty great, but the shopping definitely added to it. I also got to see one of my favorite families (Partridges!!!!!). I miss these guys like you wouldn't believe and seeing their faces was one the highlights of my day. And the crepes we tried....auh-mazing!
Saturday night I dragged Steven and my awesome friend Rod back to Riverside for some awesome food and games of cornhole. (I absolutely love that mac and cheese seems to be an acceptable dinner for adults now, by the way). 
Sunday and Monday Steven and I braced for the Tropical Storm and watched Survivor and ate watermelon. Even though the tropical storm was no big deal for us (seriously, when you live in Florida, it just becomes natural- and I even found myself saying more than once "it's not like it's a hurricane or anything). And yes, we did go to the store and stock up on essentials.....like beer and pizza and chips. Like I said....it's a Florida thing. 
  
And today we went back to work. But I was totally okay with that. I missed it a bit. And I only have 1 more day now of working at the school. Then comes summer vacation!!!!!!!!! 


How did you spend your Memorial Day weekend???

weekend recap

This weekend was the last of my spring break, so I tried to use it wisely. With that being said I guess I should fess up to the fact that I spent a lot of it hanging out with friends, baking up a storm, had a joint garage and bake sale with friends, and tried really hard to catch up on schoolwork and lesson plans. Still though, an awesome weekend with some awesome friends. :)



Thursday Rod, Ashley and I went for some food, drinks, and catching up. :)







Friday and Saturday Jenn, Joe, Steven and I spent time preparing for our garage sale. And Jenn and I spent hours baking. I LOVED it. I tried a new recipe (chocolate muffins) and an old-ish one (cinnamon cookies).
There was way too much amazing food....brownies (2 kinds), cinnamon cookies (2 kinds), sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate muffins, strawberry cupcakes, chocolate cake, and carrot cake. YUM. My sister helped make some food too and we kinda snacked on the leftovers all day. But hey...it all went to an awesome cause!

My sister and her kiddos even came out to help. Gia loved the big dog the best. Too adorable.


Then of course I spent the rest of my time on schoolwork and lesson planning. I even got to enjoy the porch some while doing it. I love it out there now that I have redecorated it some.

Hope you had an awesome weekend too!
Now back to studying for Friday (HUGE exam) and listening to my roommates and friends play Call of Duty...oh the life. :)

a sunday night hello


Just wanted to stop in and say hello.
This weekend has been crazy, but really good. Lots of catching up with friends, coffee dates, finger painting, making thankful lists, reading, football, and even a little bit of live music (Vertical Horizon plus some other local musicians played for the lighting of the Christmas tree at the mall nearby.) Fun.

Oh and here are some of my entries from my thankful 30.

1. rock music


2. God. (and a quote from Angry Conversations with God---great book).


7. my church family.

The other ones are still being worked on. More to share later!

And a little hello from me and the awesome roomie:

lovelove,
