High Five for Friday

It’s been quite a week, folks. Stressful, rainy, cranky and LONG. It’s been raining almost non-stop and we’ve got water in our basement. Gross. (thankfully, we don’t have a finished basement) I’m glad that there were slices of good things this week, or I might have really lost it! While I’m super thankful it’s Friday, it was a bit hard finding five things this week. And it’s not necessarily going to be a restful, quiet weekend, either. Such is life! There is a season for all things. God is good!

I’m linking up with Lauren today, just like always.

1. I started a new running program on Sunday afternoon (it was actually sunny and 72 for a bit!) and ran with these two. We had a great time!

2. I can’t stop eating this cookie dough.

3. I baked a killer cake for dinner with friends. It totally exceeded my expectations. I’ll post the recipe next week!

4. We had some great friends over for dinner last night. It was great fun! Reminded me we definitely need to hang out more often. We made ratatouille for dinner – it was a success!

5. It’s Friday. Nick doesn’t have to work for 2 days. Yay!

Have a great weekend! Any fun or exciting plans?

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday! This week has had it’s share of ups and downs, but that’s bound to happen every once and awhile. But it’s finally Friday! Woo hoo! As always, I’m linking up with Lauren.

1. I got myself some new kicks. Nick and I both wear the Merrell barefoot shoes. They’re great! I had a sweet coupon at REI and our dividend, so I couldn’t pass these babies up. Plus, they’re PINK!
New kicks!

2. I also got a sweet deal at REI-outlet and snagged this Brooks running hoodie. A place for my ponytail?! Genius.
Genius!

3. It was a super nice day on Sunday and I went with Nick to the driving range. I don’t golf, but he’s really starting to get into it. He bought some clubs and wanted to try them out.

4. This guy. So sweet.

5. Lil Sis and I went to play with puppies yesterday! I played with a Dachsie/Chihuahua mix and she played with a French Bulldog. OMG. Wanted to keep them both.
PUPPIES!

Happy weekend!!

High Five for Friday

Well, hello Friday! I’m so glad you’re here again. I’m so thankful to be looking forward to a quiet weekend! My favorite! 🙂 I’m linking up with Lauren, just like always!

1. We had dinner from the Sushi House on Saturday night with some friends and it was super tasty. LOVE Sushi House! We always played some Texas Hold ‘Em and we all (the adults) got schooled by two 12 year olds who had never played before. Talk about beginner’s luck!

2. The Superbowl was fun! Weird power outage, though, right?! We made some delicious treats to munch on during the game, and my favorite were definitely the Jalapeno Potato Poppers! Wow! Those babies were GOOD! And a hit with everyone!

3. Nick and I had an impromptu night at home – he was supposed to be out with his little buddy, but that got cancelled last minute. Nick and I ended up watching some old episodes of “The Cosby Show” on TVLand. SO fun!

4. Met up with some friends and got a bunch of details hammered out for an upcoming event. I’m very detail-oriented so it made my heart happy to get some of it done.

5. It rained like crazy yesterday and the snow is FINALLY gone from all of the streets! Ugh. Snow. Bring on spring! (the groundhog didn’t see his shadow, either! Yay!)

Happy weekend!
