This Weekend...

This Weekend has gone by TOO fast!

Friday-Ryan worked from home and I had the day off so we got a bunch done around the house and just relaxed...before we knew it, it was time for dinner but neither of us felt like cooking so we went to Teppanyaki and got some yummy food! after dinner we passed out from a long week of starting school and working so much.---It was an overall nice day/night and wasn't too stressful.

Saturday- I woke up and finished my quilt I have been working on. I made the quilt for my friend Sarah whose baby shower is next weekend. I love it and am so happy my mother-in-law taught me how to sew! (I will post a picture once I give it to Sarah so it stays a surprise for her). After I finished the quilt Ryan and I went grocery shopping for the week. And that night we went out with our friends, Whitney and James, to Cheesecake Factory. I have been craving it for so long and it was so fun to hang out with our friends and get to know them better.

You can't go to the Cheesecake Factory and not get a cheesecake...so my choice was the Red Velvet!

Sunday- I decided to attempt Cafe Rio Pork once again...and it turned out delicious. I started cooking the meat at 7:15 am in order for it to get cooked enough and be super tender. Whitney, James and Whitney's brother and sister came over to have dinner with us. It was so much fun to have company and enjoy a delicious meal... I think that it tasted better than Cafe Rio :)

My Pork Salad

I then made Raspberry Shortbread cookies for dessert...I got the recipe from my sister in law, Tina. Ryan and I are addicted to them, which is bad because they are mainly butter and sugar.

The Delicious Cookies...

I know have to get some homework done and get a work project done by morning...It might be a long night but that's what life is about right?

Over all it was a wonderful weekend, full of food, friends, and crafts. I love weekends like these, even they go by fast, because we are able to spend time with those we love.


---On a side note---I am taking a stress management class this semester and last week we learned about breathing and tension in our body. This week I have been focusing on just breathing when I get tense or frustrated...it really has helped, so if you get frustrated or feel tense just sit up straight, relax your eyes and focus on your breath...it will really help, it has for me so far:)
