Fist Bump for Friday!

Reading: This week I found an awesome magazine about coffee! I read a little of it and put it back on the stand. I am slightly obsessed with its cuteness so I'm going back to buy it!! 

 

Dreaming: Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday out of the entire year. I found this wreath on Pinterest and can't get it out of my mind! I'm going to have to make one. I've also been thinking about painting some pine cones for garland!!  

Thinking: I LOVE this haircut! I have been really thinking about getting a good hair trim. I've even scheduled an appointment for next week! We'll see if I really do it or not!! Eek! 

Cooking: Mr. Hubs and I made some homemade marshmallows this week for a friends get-together night. We are so excited about how they turned out! And they were super easy! I found the recipe on Yummly. 

Fist Bump! 

Have a happy Weenend!! 

Christmas Dinner

Because the Mister and I are going to be apart at our families houses for Christmas we celebrated our Christmas a few days ago when we were together! It was a perfect Christmas date and one I would strongly suggest for other couples anytime! 

We went to this restaurant  Downtown called Caffe Luna. It was simply divine! 

 

Mozzarella and Tomato's 

Bow Tie Pasta with Grilled Salmon in a Pink Sauce! 

Best Lasagna in the entire world! Promise! 

So I had never tried Caribou Coffee before out side of buying it from the grocery store, which I have never liked all that much. But when we went to the store I was amazed at how good their drinks were! Way better than Starbuck's mixed coffee drinks. They don't use syrups like most coffee places use, they use REAL caramel, and REAL melted chocolate! I was in heaven! 

We even played a few rounds of card games at the coffee shop! It was a wonderful Christmas treat! 

Hows your Christmas shopping and planning going? Don't forget to take time and Celebrate Jesus Christ our LORD for all his awesomeness and wonder this season!! 

Blessings and Merry Christmas Eve! 

Pumpkin Scones

As promised I did find time last weekend to make these delicious scones by The Shoebox Kitchen. They turned out amazing and probably the best I have ever made scones!
They were gone so quickly that I only got time to take one picture of them and you will notice I did not do all of the icing that they did. And another little tidbit I just used the pumpkin pie spice mix in stead of all the separate spices. I believe another batch is soon to arrive in my home soon!

We also attended the 7th anual Greek Festval and it was amazing! I am slightly obsessed with festivals! 

 

I found this cute little book for a dollar at the Greek Festival and I can not wait to read it! 

I would have to say the Mr. and I have had such a wonderful week/weekend! Now back to studying my brains out! 

Blessings

Birthday Celebrations!

This week I celebrated my 23 birthday! It feels so weird having another birthday because I don't feel that I have felt my age since I was 15. But this week has been such a blessing and I am still in awe of the love shown to me! 

What is a birthday with out coffee and Trader Joe's?

My Birthday present from my parents were a pair of new running shoes from Try Sports! I got these amazing Saucony's that fit like a dream! And I completed my delayed autumn goal of being able to run a 5K by my birthday which i did the night before my birthday!!!! I am soo thrilled beyond words!!!!!!! 

The best family game in the world was played a lot this weekend called Dutch Blitz

I would highly recommend this game to any family!  

My lovely Mister sent me the most beautiful flowers on my birthday even though he was away working at our church camp. 

I would have to say this was a fantastic birthday and I am so thankful!

Blessings

Rosie's Coffee and Tea Shop

This is Rosie's Coffee Shop. Located in downtown Winston Salem NC this little coffee house used to be home of the Brew Nerds coffee. Brew Nerds used to be my absolute favorite coffee shop when attending the anual Homeschool convention. The dashing lady is now renting in the Nerds former coffee laboratory.   She as made it in to her own! Rosie's is sweetly managed with individual attention and care. 

This is my mom ordering one of the best Cappuccino I have ever had!! 

      

For breakfast my mom a cinnamon something (which she said was wonderful) and I had a blueberry muffin and a fantastic cappuccino!                                                                                                     

Rosie's Coffee shop had the best on the go breakfast! I would recommend this place when traveling through Winston Salem. Also before you head there check her Facebook Page to see any specials she might be offering. But even with out a special her prices are very modest! 

If I were you I would not pass this place up! 

Blessings

A Blissful Fall Weekend

Tony and I got to spend another weekend together! He drove to school for the David Crowder Band concert on Thursday and then stayed till Sunday!  It was so wonderful to have him near by and not 5 hours away! The David Crowder Band is on their last tour together so it was a wonderful treat to be at the concert.

  

Sadly there was still work to be done so while he was here we studied at the Library like old times! 

My man can make me smile no matter what!!!!

This was our view on the way to church Sunday morning! I love fall!

 

Then after church we caught up on some Saturday night live! 

 

French press from Starbucks! 

 

I think our lives are centered around coffee! 

Well that was my weekend! How was yours?
