Weekend Festivities

The "End of the Year Bash" this year was a concert with He Is We, Parachute, and  The Ready Set... We invited Paul and Tori (Scott's siblings) to come up and go to it with us! The stadium was actually pretty full, I was surprised. One of the bands lost all of his equipment in a shipment. I felt so bad for him! He still managed to pull it off! And we left early so we didn't hear Parachute...

But the highlight of the whole thing was when He Is We played "All About Us", our wedding song! I seriously love that song! It brings back so many good memories. We actually danced to that song on our second or third date. I thought Scott was going to kiss me so I got all nervous and shy! haha but he didn't that time. Then we went back to the same dance room and danced to that song after we got engaged. And we probably kissed the entire time! ;) Then it was the song that we danced to for our first dance as Mr. and Mrs. So it was extra special to hear it live!
After the concert we munched on some ice cream and popcorn and watched the classic, Nacho Libre. Man that show is great and I laugh so hard every time. But my favorite part about the movie is how much Scott laughs. Him laughing is probably my favorite thing in the whole world! When it happens I wish I could freeze time and bottle up that moment forever!!! (sappy, sappy, I know, sorry)
It was fun hanging out together! I'm so glad they were able to make it!

We also enjoyed a very nice walk on Sunday afternoon. Here are some pictures we snapped...

^^Love that handsome stud^^

And the day wouldn't be complete after church without  some napping, reading, and treat making! :D

Thank Goodness It's Friday!

My goodness, another long week! The weeks have been doing that lately and I'm not a fan. It's probably because the semester is almost over and we are seriously itchin' to be DONE! Classes are over now so its just tests left! I have three more tests and a paper, and Scott has one test!! Then we are done!! This is enduring to the end at it's finest for us!

But its the weekend, HALLELUJAH!!! 

This weekend we have got some serious studying to do, sleeping in, a Temple Trip and breakfast somewhere (we haven't decided yet), cleaning, exercising, and a little project I started a few weeks ago! I haven't been able to work on it since because we have been so busy. I got inexpensive, plain, place mats just from wal-mart and I am painted a chevron pattern on them to spice them up a little bit! Super cute!! I will post about that when it is done, and i'm so excited to show you! Until then....

Hope you all have a good weekend!!! :D

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Recent new recipe in our house. It was pretty easy and tasty!

HOMEMADE CHICKEN NUGGETS:

1 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1 egg
1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
cooking oil

1. Chop the chicken into small chunks and sprinkle with salk and pepper.
2. Lightly beat egg in a bowl.
3. In another bowl mix together: breadcrumbs, cheese, paprika and garlic powder
4. Dip the chicken chunk into the egg, covering it well. With that same hand (your wet hand) drop the egg covered piece into the dry mixture. With your other hand (the dry hand) sprinkle dry mixture over the chicken. Thouroghly cover. Then set aside on a plate until you are ready to cook. Do this process until all chicken pieces are covered. (It goes a lot more smoothly if you have a "wet hand" and a "dry hand", the mixture will go on easier and stay better)
5. Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan to medium/low heat. Cook on each side for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until brown. Cut open a few pieces to make sure that they are fully cooked. Once they are done, let cool on a paper towel to soak up any extra oil. then..
6. ENJOY with whatever dipping sauce is your favorite, BBQ Sauce, Ranch, Ketchup, Honey Mustard...
