Today is my dear husband’s birthday! Last night at 12:01, I told him happy birthday and said, welcome to the last year of your 20’s! His face was priceless. 😉

I didn’t share this yet…but on Tuesday, I gave a short photography presentation to a girl scout troop! I will say that it gave me a HUGE amount of respect for Bret and teaching AND planning! Wow! I probably spend 5+ hours for twenty minute presentation. But it went awesome! They were very sweet and gave me a card AND a gift card as a thank you! TOTALLY unexpected but SO appreciated! It was to Padonia Station! Which, you know is one of our fav places to go! I was just so blessed at the timing! I wasn’t sure where I’d take Bret for his birthday…but this was my answer!

Here’s what we ended up getting!!!

I’ve posted pictures of this stew I’ve made before….but I finally came up with a name!!!

Jennilyn’s Survival Stew!
The base starts with Trader Joe’s Harvest Grains Blend.
Add 2-3 bags of frozen veggies
Add 2-3 cans of beans
And a meat

It’s very flexible, so you can add whatever you want. It’s SO yummy! AND when you eat it, you feel like you can survive in the wilderness!

Day 1378 – I Felt Like A Teenager Again

Tonight I spent the night at my friend Mel’s with our friend Katie. Mel is the maid of honor for our friend Tif and we’re throwing her a surprise shower tomorrow (note: writing this post from the future, so it won’t mess up the surprise)! We spent most of the evening prepping food, chatting about life and drinking wine (hence the picture below).

It was so great to catch up with old friends (I’m talkin’ years and years!) It made me feel like I was a teenager again, chatting about life and boys, sleeping over and all….the only difference was I wasn’t drinking wine when I was teenager. 🙂

So, the lesson here is this….don’t wait too long to catch up with your friends. 🙂
