living life

Oh how the week just flies right by. I can not believe that tomorrow is Thursday, where did the time go?! It's a good thing though, Friday afternoon I am heading down to Chicago to spend the weekend with my good friend Kelli. I am looking forward to a little vacation and to get some girl time. Dave's staying home since he has to work, so it'll be nice to take a little cruise by myself, but it will probably get boring during the drive.

Last night we had some company over. My cousin Jeff is on leave right now from the Navy, and he made a little detour through detroit to visit the family. My mother hosted a dinner sunday after church, so it was nice to catch up. Then last night, my brother, his girlfriend chandra, and jeff came over for a visit. many laughs.

I was so glad to get out of work early today. I was able to beat dave home by an hour, and I squeezed in a walk around town before i started cleaning and making dinner. Now i need to drag myself back into the kitchen to clean up the dinner mess. We don't have a dishwasher, so it's me. it gets really old. I made chicken alfredo tonight. i got the recipe from jenny, who found it somewhere in cyberspace. it was delicious, and i normally hate alfredo sauce. for some reason, it's always been really hard for me to gut, but this recipe was wonderful.

1/2 c of butter
1/2 c of flour
2 c of milk
1/2 c of chicken broth
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/2 c of Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

melt butter in a sauce pan and add flour, mix until smooth. whisk in milk, broth, and seasoning. bring to boil over medium heart and stir for one minute. remove from heat and add Parmesan cheese. serve with chicken and broccoli. enjoy ;)

it was seriously so good. i promise. give it a whirl.

okay, i'm off to do the dishes and start a project. i'll post pictures if all goes well. I found this really neat wall art on stumble upon the other day, and i'm determined to recreate the art in our bedroom.

have a good evening.
