Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here is yet another recipe I got off Pinterest and decided to try last weekend. :)

I thought homemade chocolate chip cookies would be a great treat on our 3rd snow storm! These turned out super yummy and I can't wait to make them again. I had to keep telling myself not to eat so many at once they were so good. LOL



Ingredients:



·         1 cup butter

·         1 cup sugar

·          1/2 cup brown sugar

·         2 eggs

·         2 tsp vanilla

·         2 1/4 cups flour

·         1 tsp baking soda

·         1/2 tsp salt

·         1 12 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips. 

Directions:

1.        Preheat oven to 375

2.       Cream together butter and sugar, beat in eggs and vanilla.

3.       In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda.

4.      Gradually beat into butter/sugar mixture, add chocolate chips and stir in.

5.       Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.

6.       Bake 8-10 mins

Book: The Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion

I haven't been very good lately about posting when I'm reading a book. I have had a lot going on and it just keeps slipping my mind. 

When I first started reading this series I was very unsure about it....I'm still unsure about it but I keep reading on because I need to know how all this ends in the books. I guess you could say I'm hooked but I'm not as hooked as I have been in other books. I can do days without reading and be fine, but I like the books that I can't stand not to be reading b/c I need to know what happens next. LOL, if that makes any sense. :) 

I just finished Dark Reunion last week and yes I have kept going in the series. 

Happy St. Patty's Day....

I know I know I'm a little late on wishing everyone a Happy St. Patty's Day. I have been side tracked with getting another project done for a friend. I'm making her son's Graduation Announcements/Party Invites. So that has been taking up most of my time when I'm home from work. 

I hope everyone had a fun and safe St. Patrick's Day. The day before Shane and I had a little get together with some friends. We hung out, played Rock Band and had some drinks. We had a good time hanging out and celebrating. 

These we the centerpieces in our Pub area. They were filled with Chex Mix and Popcorn. Both were a big hit! 

 I made green beer for the celebration. 

 I worked hard on making this homemade cookie cake. It turned out awesome! 

 My sis and I, aren't we cute. :) 

Jasper, AR - 2012

This is our book from when we took a weekend trip to a Cabin in Jasper, Arkansas. We took this trip shortly after we moved into our house. It was such a fun trip and nice to just get away for a few days after hard work of getting our house together. :)

Congrats To The New Sailor Nick!!

In January my sister's boyfriend went off to join the Navy. Shane and I were very proud of him for joining! I'm sure something like that is scary to do with leaving for so long not seeing your family, friends, girlfriend of whoever. I would be freaked out for sure! But Nick had the courage to take the step and join and for that we couldn't be more happy for him! We do miss him!! 

Last weekend he graduated from boot camp!! Shane and I wished we could have gone down to Chicago to watch him graduate but it just didn't work out for us. My sister did go down with Nick's dad so she got to see him after 3 month, so was so happy and couldn't wait! 

For his graduation gift I decided to make him a Navy frame. 

Congrats to the new Sailor Nick!! We are so proud of you and can't wait to see you when you get home!!
