happy Sabbath

We spent ours actually getting to church on time, enjoying great Sunday school lessons, hanging out with some cool folks, chatting with visiting teachers, making dinner/ prepping dinners for the week to come, playing with David's phone, talking with loved ones, watching Harry Potter, and munching on chocolates my mother-in-law was so nice to send out way wrapped up in a Halloween care package along with a pumpkin strobe light - which means we definitely need to carve a gourd by Wednesday.

I love Sundays, much, so much.

a good date

Last night we ate homemade pizza, Skyped with family, watched a chick flick, and ate cookie dough egg rolls (which were incredibly delicious, by the way, and also incredibly rich - if you're making that recipe for two half it for sure).

If copious amounts of sugar and cute old men with German accents don't make you smile, I not sure I can help you...or if we can be friends.

Sunday dinners

David and I are definitely missing the big Nemrow-clan Sunday dinners back in Provo, but we're making up for it around here with our own little Sunday dinners for two.  I love being in the kitchen with David (which doesn't happen too much any more), and on Sundays we have the whole the afternoon together to prep and cook - it's a hoot. 

Last night we tried THIS recipe and, although it could use some tweaks (less thyme, always less thyme), we gave it at least a 7 out of 10, and are planning to give it another go with our improvements.  Perhaps it will make it up to the 9 range eventually. . .

Also, please notice that David was a dear and set out our little vase of fake flowers for the occasion - we're pretty high-to-do around here, you know.

And we topped the night off with Life Is Beautiful - have you ever seen that film?  It's lovely, AND it's on Netflix - double lovely.
Chao!
