Weekly Surf:

I got my usual call from Dustin as he drove home from work Friday night. He asked what we were having for dinner. I said I was really busy and couldn't get around to making anything-maybe we'd go grab some fast food! He sounded all too enthused to be having fast food! He sighed and hung up the phone in utter disappointment. He was hoping for a hot meal....sad day.

Upon arriving home, he was instructed to tie a scarf around his head to cover his eyes because we were "going camping". I let him in and told him that sadly, we would not be eating fast food after all, but that I had a "camping date" planned for us.....*Please pardon that blank look on my face. I think I was thinking, "Dustin, hurry up and take the picture! I'm starving!"

One Spider man sheet, two baby blankets, and a few strands of lights later, we were enjoying a smorgasbord of deliciousness under our tent with Radio head playing in the background and our toddler's toys scattered on the rug in the living room beneath our feet.

{This is romance.}

....OR this is being broke and making the best of it?!

Sometimes we forget to enjoy the romance and find it amongst the bustle of everyday responsibilities & the hardships of being a young couple with little to spend on fancy dates.

Lusting over these shorts and this sexy studded sweater {I'd wear them together with thigh high boots.}

Can't wait for my favorite MTV show to come back on next week

I've gotten a few emails recently about my plate wall & how they were hung + more plates added
Me, showing off my very first cake, not from a box! (recipe above.) Banana cake is the best cake in the whole wide world. Dustin helped with a lot of it so I could take breaks in between measuring and mixing to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich and rest.... I sat and watched for the most part. It was hard work.

{Have a great Vampire Thursday!!!}

P.S. Thank you friends, for praying for me this week. I'm starting to snap out of it. (these damn hormones are making me C-R-A-Z-Y!)I'm so thankful for such loving people in my life who intercede with prayer on my behalf when I'm too weak to pray.
It made SUCH a difference. Thank you.
