I just had an amazing dinner! Kevin has a special meal prepared for grad students, so I decided to try something new. I have never cooked fish before, but with tilapia in the freezer, I had the perfect ingredient. :) I baked a potato, cooked broccoli, and sauteed the light fish with lemon pepper seasoning […]
The One with the Scrapbook
Once again the weather spent a few days reminding us how we strongly dislike humid heat and then decided to come back to my favorite environment–sunny with a high of 75. Last Thursday afternoon I finally sat down and opened up my collection of scrapbooking supplies to attempt a few pages in the new wedding […]
The One with Children’s Literature
This morning, whenever I’m done eating my breakfast (a new favorite by the way…oatmeal with peanut butter melted inside!), I plan on driving down to Aldi. I haven’t been to this particular store since the car broke down forever ago, so I’m a little apprehensive. I know everything will be fine, though, because 1) I […]
The One with the Tuna Melt
Sorry I haven’t been the faithful blogger I have led you all to believe that I am. It’s been what I call an exciting, freaky, crazy, unpredictable, and yet perfectly ordained God thing. Once again, I would love to share some details but until all loose ends are tied up, I’ll be keeping you in […]
The One with the Brunch
Our date last night was wonderful…despite the insane “rush hour” traffic during a supposedly “non-rush hour” time. *sigh* We eventually made it to Madison Heights, waited in a ridiculously long line to pick up my dress from David’s Bridal (which fit perfectly!) and even dropped of lots of checks (aka MONEY) at a Bank of […]
The One with the Pizza Hut Goodness
Tonight is our date night! I’m way excited! Especially since it’s not going to cost us anything thanks to a gift card we won at our apartment complex par-tay! We have both been craving the amazing-ness of Pizza Hut and can’t wait! I got myself all dooded up (aka…the way my mom always used to […]
The One in Brief
I’m sorry I haven’t updated in a while. I know all of you are hanging on to my every word, but sometimes time gets away from me. (heehee). The last few days have been pretty much insane…in that “heavenly blessing being poured out so heavily that we don’t have room to contain it” sort-of-way. I […]
The One with all the Roller Coasters
Sunday turned out to be the most perfect weather for a day at Cedar Point! Not too hot, not too cold. The only problem was everyone else must have had the same thought…because all the lines were super long. Even the coasters that are way way old (like Gemini and Magnum) had 30 minute waits. […]
The One with Super Cool Stuff
We had an absolutely fabulous day with Mom & Dad Eccles and Brian. (Preceded by a pancake breakfast in bed!) They arrived at our apartment around 12:30 and we immediately partook of the delicious lunch they had packed to share with us–baked subs (satisfying my pizza crave), juicy apples, and Harvest cheddar Sunchips. It was […]
