the weekend and a little bit of today

a. Nic's early b-day present, new Iphone 4S.

b. First Instagram pic, don't mind if I do.

c. We went to the play Into the Woods at ISU on Saturday night. Fabulous acting, bad acoustics.

d. Easter dinner :)

e. I'll try one of every flavor please, SO hard to choose.

f. We settled for sharing Cheesecake Fantasy, heaven in a bowl.

g. On an evening walk enjoying the gorgeous Spring weather these days.

h. I tried out a new recipe and made Lasagna Soup for dinner, it was so yummy. 

You can get the recipe HERE.

With the semester quickly coming to a close, there has been very little time for relaxation around here. Even Easter was one of those days spent buried in the books. Lets just say the 3 hours of church were a much-needed blessing for me and the perfect time to reflect on how truly grateful I am for the sacrifice my Savior made for me. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

In other news, if you didn't happen to notice from that first lovely little picture up top, Nic's birthday came a little early this weekend. He has been dying to get an iphone for a while now and I knew how much he needed it for his job as well. Getting emails on your phone is apparently a big deal in the business world don't ya know. I'm not sure how much I appreciated the little doorbell sound at 2:30 in the morning on Sunday coming from his phone. Yes, it was an email folks. I mean really, who possibly emails at 2:30 am? You better believe he heard about THAT the next morning ;) and now it is on silent HA. It may have been a win/win though because I was pretty excited about joining the Instagram world!

As for today, I officially submitted my student teaching application!!!! Could not contain my excitement on that one. Look out ISU, only 4 classes and student teaching standing between me and graduation. That and the perfect weather outside, I'd say it has been one heck of a day. Hope you all had a great weekend!
