Lunch-Break-Blogger

I'm a lunch-break-blogger.

I never blog from home. I need to but by the time I am home, I am done being on the computer. I'm sure many of you can relate. Also, I usually eat lunch at my desk so I kind of work, kind of blog, and kind of pin. It works itself out just fine. I need to unplug for a few minutes throughout the day...unless we have an event. If we do, there is no unplugging.

My lunch reminded me of our great weekend so I thought I would re-cap what we did.

On Friday Nephi's parents brought us dinner. They are great. Nephi ate and then ran to work and I hung out with Nephi's parents and his brother and SIL. We went to DQ and got dipped cones. Yum. Then we came back and Connie and I watched some Grey's and stayed up late chatting. It was great. It was one of those moments where you KNOW your prayers are answered. I honestly don't confide in her very often but we had a great discussion and she gave me some golden advice--very good advice.

Saturday morning we said goodbye to all of them as they made their trek to Cali for Neal's graduation. We will be meeting up with them on Thursday and that can't come soon enough! After they left, I did a little cleaning, painting, and then took off to the gym where I ran 3, 10 minute miles. That is the best time I have had ever! A 10 minute mile may be a joke to many of you but to me it felt amazing.

I ran to the store and then went to Anna's Baby Shower. I got her cute set of cloths and those shoe sock things. Seriously, our babies will wear those socks everywhere. I think they are SO cute! It was a cute shower and we are so excited for Shawn and Anna!

I ran some more errands, got my purple towels I have been searching for on sale and then ran home to hang out with my favorite man...okay, second favorite man, Blake. Our neighbors have the sweetest little boy {I have talked about him before} and him and his mamma came over and we painted our nails. It was fun and good for her to hand blake off to me while she painted her nails.

Nephi got home and we made dinner. Yes, the best dinner ever. I ended up making that Sweet Potato Pizza Crust and it was HEAVEN!

I made it a meat lovers pizza because it's his favorite. I used turkey sausage and turkey bacon to make it reduced in calories and cut up some ham as well.  

Even if you don't like sweet potatoes...you have got to try this! You can't even taste it but the pizza is just better with it in there. It was really easy but allow about 1 1/2 hr of prep. It didn't take me that long because I threw the dough in the oven in my bowl on 170 for 20 minutes to let it rise. 

Just make it. Please? I think we will be making it every weekend. I just had the left overs and I am still drooling. I would not be surprised if I ended up making it again tonight. And, Nephi liked it too. Whew! That kid. So picky. 

We just hung out and planned on hanging stuff on our walls but they our friends Parker and Camille called and wanted to meet up for Fro Yo! Of course we couldn't resist and ended up hanging out with them the rest of the night! It was so fun and we love them! 

Sunday morning we were just about to leave to church (10:55) and Nephi remembered he had a mission farewell for a guy he works with at 11! We ran out the door and made it in time for church to start. It was great. I love missionary farewells and Zach is going to be an AMAZING missionary! 

Sunday night we had friends over for game night. We played Telestrations, of course, and had a blast! The best one of the night was this: 

The original word was Aardvark and then turned into "Intellectual Black Man" {which is what this picture represents} and ended up with me guessing, "Crazy Black Man" from this photo. Uhhh...we were DYING! Sarah drew this picture and we were all so confused by it. Apparently that is math and smart stuff coming out of his head...obviously. Oh man. If you haven't played that game with us yet---ask us and we will play with you. We LOVE it! 

To top off the weekend, Nephi talked in his sleep last night. I woke up to Nephi leaning over me and looking at the floor on my side. He was there for a minute, just quiet, and then whispered, "What the!?" So I kind grunted, "huh," and he said, "There are cups in the shape of a sheep! I thought it was a sheep!" Uhhhh...

And he tells me I am a crazy sleeper? 

We had a great weekend with family and friends and look forward to this SHORT week! :)
