Cherishing Togetherness


This was from a lunch date a couple weeks ago. ♥ We cherished our time in the car and eating at Chick-fi-la for cheap because we redeemed a free sandwich coupon. Yay! We had the perfect little table snuggled in a corner beside the play place. We ate our chicken sandwiches and waffle fries and just talked about every day things. When it came time for him to go back to work, we drove real slow and took a short tour down a road less traveled. :) Then we said our farewells, X's & O's and he went back to work. A lovely time of togetherness it was!!

This is the final week for this school term ~ then only 4 more classes left and we'll be throwing a graduation par-tay AND going on a much anticipated celebratory vacation! Can you hear my shouts of pure delight?! :) This truth makes it almost harder to dedicate many of our evenings to school work and exams. Senior-itis I believe it's called. :)

Some new recipes on this weeks menu: Baked Feta Stuffed Chicken with Rice, Broccoli & Mustard Fettuccine, and a Pistachio Blue Cheese Dip with homemade crackers.

Oh, and we're recent converts to Netflix!! Last night we celebrated with a documentary, black jewel popcorn, and some good drinks.

And a J.R. Miller nugget for today: "This is the way to treat the hard, discouraging things in life. It is useless to fret over them -- fretting will never remove them, and it only weakens our energy and mars our life. But if we meet them with undismayed courage and persistent resolve, we shall conquer them, and in conquering them carve royalty of character and noble worth of ourselves."

Happy Tuesday!!

Sweet post! And I have to ask...What is "black jewel popcorn?"

Black jewel popcorn ~ the corn kernals are actually black and when you pop them they come out white as snow with a couple black specks. It has a slight sweet flavor and taste amazing covered with salt and butter. :) I found it at our local TJ Maxx. Maybe you could check Marshall's. :)
