Weekly Reminisce

 Happy Friday Friends!! I thought I would fill you in on what has been happening here the past couple weeks. Nothing too exciting, just some fun little things.

We bought a new board game-Monopoly Empire. It goes much faster than the original Monopoly game (or so I'm told, I don't think I've ever played it)! I was really having fun with it, but now Matt beats me really bad so we quit playing...

We spent a Sunday afternoon golfing.

It was REALLY hot!!!!

Matt played 18 holes. I played the 9 holes I wanted to.

Matt has also been brewing some homemade wine. I don't think I have showed many pictures of that so I thought I should include some this time.

That is his apple cider I requested. It should be ready for fall!

He started some watermelon wine last week. Again, it won't be ready until fall. We had his strawberry wine a few weeks ago, and it wasn't too bad. Hopefully he keeps getting better! ;)

There was also a huge sale on raspberries at Sprouts last week. Matt LOVES raspberries. We bought three cartons on Sunday. By Tuesday they were gone. So we had to go back and get enough to last him the rest of the week.....EIGHT! And this was the week we left Friday morning to head to Denver. And yes they were all gone by Thursday night.

Yesterday after our workout we headed over to Jamba Juice for some free juice! It was very yummy!

I felt like this post was mostly all pictures of Matt having fun. Well this is what I have been doing that past few weeks....Study, study, study!!!! (Sorry I cannot get the picture to rotate, but you get the idea!) Only a little bit longer, and I will be done studying FOREVER!!!! Cannot wait for that day to get here!

Enjoy your weekend! Check back next week to see what else we have been up to and another Tasty Tuesday recipe!

A week of strawberries

Hi friends! Long time, no chat. We have been somewhat busy doing boring adult things. Not much fun to share. Let me fill you in.

Last Friday we celebrated National Donut Day by trying out a new wave of doughnut shops-Fractured Prune. We watched them bake the doughnut right in front of us, and then we chose the icing and topping. My favorite was probably s'mores, but the strawberry shortcake was a close second. So yummy!

 

Last Saturday we volunteered with some of Matt's colleagues at Feed My Starving Children. 

We spent one quick hour putting food together and filling them into boxes as fast as we could. We had a great time. 

Our group packed over 100 boxes to send overseas to malnourished children.

Last night we went to Usery Mountain Pass for a Full Moon Hike under the strawberry moon. We took a two mile hike and had a ton of fun. The full moon was awesome, and I even walked with the moon guiding us without a flashlight for a while!

Some of our friends brought a black light and we were able to see some real live scorpions. It was our first encounter with scorpions and hopefully I don't ever get any closer to them than that! I didn't know some of them grew that big! And look at how they glow.

This is my last week of fieldwork, and then I fill be done with school forever!!! I cannot believe it! I will be studying for boards, and then no more studying! It's hard to believe the end of this long, difficult, rewarding journey is almost here.

Also we have started making our own wine from strawberries! It should be done in a few weeks. I will be sure to let you know how it turns out! Stay tuned for some new recipes coming soon! :)
