Easter Weekend

I had a great Easter weekend. I had Friday off of work as a floating Easter holiday so I met up with my good friend Aubrey and her new baby boy Noah for lunch. He is such a cute little guy, and he hardly ever cries! We had a great time catching up and hanging out. And, yes, i even held him!

Saturday morning Ben made some whole wheat blueberry pancakes after a hard work out. They were delicious!!

That afternoon we headed up to my parent's house where Ben and my dad did some car maintenance and I did some shopping with my mom. Later that night we headed out for some sushi at Hapa. Delicious!

Sunday we went to church with my parents. Melissa and Casey came down as well, so it was fun to have the whole fam together! We grabbed some lunch at Bonefish and then headed back to their house for a little guitar hero.

Easter

But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.

Cork Art

I love this idea! Anthropologie came up with a campaign to support Earth Day. They created new backdrops for their store windows all made from wine corks. I think they turned out great!

A 'Lil Easter Something

A lady I work with loves my cake balls and asked if I would make a little Easter basket for her daughter. This is what I come up with. I think it turned out pretty cute!!

Happy Early Easter!!

Eric's Birthday

This last weekend we went out with a bunch of friends to celebrate Eric's birthday. We went out to dinner at Cantina Laredo and had a great time.

Me, Erin, and Megan

After dinner, we headed back to our place for a dance party.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.

Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It's always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.

~George S. Patton

Weekend Wrap-Up

What a great weekend I had! I was looking forward to this weekend for awhile now, and i enjoyed every minute of it! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but i think it's still blog-worthy.

I took Friday off of work and slept in a little bit. Ben and I went to breakfast before he headed to the Rockies opening day game with the guys. I went and got a massage! It was 90 minutes of heaven!

Saturday morning my mom and sister picked me up bright and early and we headed down to the outlets at Castle Rock. 5 1/2 hours and several bags full of clothes later we left exhausted! The rest of the evening was sister time! We grabbed some dinner and watched the final four.

Sunday we grabbed some breakfast at Snooze, one of my favorite breakfast joints! I went for a long run and the rest of the day was spent making cake balls, listening to the rain, and watching Ratatouille and Chopped.

It doesn't get much better than that!
