week 5

Jeffrey and I had a festive week last week: thanksgiving, our one month anniversary, Harry Potter...

For our one month anniversary, Jeffrey and I went to the gym and I almost died on the stair stepper. Actually I fell off. Apparently I'm really out of shape. Nevertheless, I eventually climbed back on and finished my workout at a much slower pace. 

Flashback to Jeffrey and I doing some good ole physical activity.

And yes, I did wear those sandals. It was hot out.

Jeffrey left on Wednesday to go to St. Louis for a basketball game and thanksgiving. Sadly, I could not go because I had to work on Thursday and Friday. So no, we're not having marital issues, I just have to work all the time. Plus thanksgiving is actually just a gateway to the Christmas season so it's not a big deal anyway. 

While he was gone, I went to see the new hp movie. 

By myself. Very relaxing.

I'm going to do it on a regular basis.

Thanksgiving! I woke up to vegan stuffing (thanks, mom!) 

and these lovely napkin roses via Brooke.

I've been thinking about carrying Eddie around like Paris Hilton, 

but when I try to dress him up in outfits, he doesn't move.

On Friday, I drove up to St. Louis to meet Jeffrey so we could go have thanksgiving at my grandma's house in Perry. I had a ten page paper due that day (yes, I procrastinated the entire thing). 

Also, I made Rampage cookies.

His muscles are stuffed with peanut butter filling.

week 3

I feel like this week has been pretty productive, but when I actually sit here and think about what we've done for the past few days, I realize we haven't done...anything? School, work, church...pretty much the standards.

I am growing very attached to this book.

Which is sad, because it's the library's. 

If anyone reading this wants to get me this book and it's

counterpart for Christmas, I would be okay with that.

EVERY recipe I've tried is delicious. Okay, so I've only tried two. But they were so delicious, Jeffrey even ate them at his own free will!

Mmm look at that homemade Oreo!

I've adopted the frosting recipe as my own.

In other news, my parents sold our new house. For those who don't know, we (and by we, I mean Sam and Cathy aka my padres) have been trying to sell our old house (which is across the street from our new one) for about three years now. I guess they got tired of having a summer home. So they sold our new one and now we're moving back to the old one. Which is great, because now we can go on vacation again. 

I have been coping with my Grippos addiction. 

Jeffrey and I both went on a date last night. Except Jeffrey went on a date with my dad and I went on a date with Michelle. Michelle and I ate a Eclipse, a Spanish tapas bar that I had a gift card to.

The food was good, but the service was horrible. 

Luckily, we had items to discuss, otherwise it would've been a long night.

I found some gems whilst poking around on Facebook. These come from my sister, Madi.

Okay, so on my computer, our graphic to the left isn't cut off, but on Jeff's computer it is. Can everyone see our silhouette in it's fullness, or do I have a problem?
