Life Update

I sure do miss the times of Week in Photos.

I miss documenting those small, wonderful things that made my days happy. I miss sharing those things with you. 

Week in Photos has not come to an end, rather, a temporary break. I’ll start doing a random update post once or twice a month, like I did here in September, sharing some life photos that I have captured. 

Some things from the past month:

We met Greg’s lab mate Kate and her husband Greg at Mt. Airy’s Street Fare in September. It was along the main road in Mt. Airy and there were around 50 restaurants/gourmet food trucks there to vend. There was also live music and activities. The four of us spent most of the evening just enjoying the beautiful weather and good conversation. Greg and I enjoyed beer from one of our favorites: Earth Bread + Brewery and ate a flatbread from there and also a lobster roll from Surf and Turf truck. I wasn’t able to get many photos before it got dark, but here are the few that I did get:

 We have been grilling every chance we get. We have been doing it at least every Saturday night since we got our grill. We love it. We have the perfect little backyard in which to do it in. We set up with a table that Greg got for us at a yard sale for $3 (!), some beer and just enjoy being outside. We have grilled two different kinds of veggie burgers, tuna steaks, and made grilled cheese sandwiches on the grill! We have also done brussels sprouts in our veggie rack. Here are some photos I took one night before it got dark:

Yay it’s Friday! I’ve been waiting for this Friday all summer.

My best friend (who now lives in Lexington) told me earlier this summer that we would be going shopping for her wedding dress this weekend, and I’ve been anxiously awaiting the day since. That means that we will both be home. We lived next door to each other since the beginning of my existence and we now each live hours from home, in opposite directions. It will be such a nice reunion!

We also have a nice little get-together planned at my house Saturday night with all of the people who I miss. Can’t wait!

Here are six things that made my week happy!

{This pizza. Toto’s is always a good idea.}

Happy Saturday to you!

I hope that you have a fun/relaxing weekend ahead!

Here are four little things that made my week.

{This peanut butter. I was so disappointed when I realized I was out on Monday morning, when I was already set on having it on my English muffin. I solved the problem by mixing up some of my own in my mini food chopper!}

{This kitty. Greg keeps telling me that I need to stop posting only sweet and sleepy photos of Ivy. This was taken right after he pounced on my hand, which was on the opposite side of the box from him. He went through the box rather than over. :)}

{These cherries. A preview of something I’ll share next week.}

{This corn. Same as above. :)}

Talk to you Monday!

I’m so happy it’s Friday! I have a weekend filled with things to do and I’m very excited for it to start!

Sorry for not posting yesterday. I had every intention to post and then I had a failed recipe. And then another. But it’s okay — here’s to a day of successful recipes!

Wherever you are and whatever you do this weekend I hope that you enjoy it!

Enjoy, five little things that made my week.

{This. This burger + cheese + lettuce + tomato + mustard + a toasted bun. Made Monday much better.}
