Friday Fun...

Today I am so excited to be starting SPRING BREAK! Although we are not going anywhere, it will be so nice to have the week off school and try to get caught up on everything that has been lacking attention. The fun begins TODAY! I get to go to Duluth with my Hubby (which is something we have not been able to do for a while, and I love it!) 

First thing on the agenda is... Olive Garden! We received a gift certificate for Christmas and have yet to use it, so today we are splurging on the eating and enjoying some soup, salad, and breadsticks. 

Then some errands around town. I have grown to love Target more and more over the past several months. Last night I spent an hour or so gathering coupons and making my list. Our fridge is somewhat depleted right now and I'm excited to stock it with Archer Farms Organics, Horizon Organic Milk Boxes, and Amy's Kitchen Dinners. Some of these items are great for our crazy, busy, on the go life - and they don't have all the extra junk in them. What a BONUS!

Then tonight we have some friends coming for dinner. I love having people over and cooking, but unfortunately we don't have much time and don't have many friends in the area. Our friends - Seth & Renee - are expecting their first baby together next month! I am so excited for them and their little GIRL! My husband - Jarrett - works with Seth at Tradehome Shoes. And I just enjoy having coffee dates with Renee on occasion... a girl needs her Caribou every now and then! Tonight the menu is:

-Sesame Chicken

-Pea Pods

-Sweet Potatoes seasoned w/ chili powder, salt, and pepper

-Cream Cheese Wontons

- and....German Chocolate Bars. 

I have LOVED finding new recipes and cooking healthy! I'll try to share some favorites every now and then.

Just wanted to share a little pick me up and I listen to when I am stressed or just for the reminder :) I first heard this when I was at the Honor Academy. My core advisor - Noelle - shared this with us and it just blew me away. It is so powerful! Just sit back, relax, sip your favorite hot beverage, and enjoy what God is doing in your life TODAY!
