Weekend Recap

Monday, already?!  Ugh.  Who on Earth decided it would be a good plan to work five days, and then take off two?  Terrible idea.  I liked last week better when I had a three day weekend.  I think Monday's are extra hard when you've had a fun weekend.  Let's take a minute to recap all the fun we had in the past 48 hours:

Saturday morning I got together with our Life Group girls to have a special breakfast for our sweet Rebecca on one of her last days of being pregnant.  We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of this baby girl any minute!  I love any reason for all of us to get together.

And I LOVE breakfast food.  Our spread included breakfast casserole, fruit, and a quiche.  It was SO.GOOD.

And as if that wasn't enough fun, Abby and I ran up to Ikea Sunday afternoon.  This has been a much discussed trip to Ikea.  Months in the making.

We may have mentioned something about taking a U-Haul with us at one point, but the husbands quickly shut that down.  Which is a good thing, because I would have come home with this kitchen, more accessories for the new bathroom and all of page 136 in the 2014 catalog.  I did come home with a few fun accessories though!

We wrapped up the weekend grilling and enjoying the gorgeous weather.  It won't be long before it's dark at 5:00pm and too cold to sit outside on the deck {sad face}

What fun things did you do this weekend?!

Life Group Dinner

We are so lucky to be a part of an amazing Life Group through our church!  Our families don't live close by, so having this wonderful support system of great friends has been a huge blessing for us.  I think its safe to say that all six couples look forward to our weekly get togethers for so many reasons.  Among them?  Food!  WE. LOVE. FOOD.

This past week, our primer directed us to have a fondue night--we took our own spin on this and decided to have a night full of different dips!  Because, really, who doesn't love a good dip?!

Our delicious dip-fest included cheddar cheese fondue with lots of dippers, pub cheese with pretzel chips, Blaire's bagel dip, Dunkaroo Dip, and Caramel Cheesecake Apple Dip.  Everything was SO good!

I couldn't wait to make Blaire's yummy bagel dip at home this week--how easy is this?

-8oz block of cream cheese

-1 jar Old English cheese
-a few shakes of garlic powder

Mix it up and serve with "everything" bagels, cut up.
SOOOO good!  I love anything cheese :)

I love our time together each week, and I can't wait to see what other yummy creations we come up with!
