Hello my friends! This week things were much calmer than last. We still have some unpacking to do, but are pretty much together, for the most part. I've been practicing my driving and inspected the local grocery stores (and library). I'm loving the area (I'm in a cute little town but also literally 2 minutes away from a huge shopping mall/area) and my house.
Annnnnd TOMORROW IS MOTHER'S DAY! This is the first time in 6 years that I'll be able to spend Mother's Day with...my mother. Michael is working so we're seeing his mom tonight and also going to see his sister in her high school musical (every single one of his siblings, including himself, were in the shows at our old high school-and obviously so was I). Tomorrow my mom and brother are coming over and I'm making garlic bread, salad, and my recipe for Skinny Alfredo. I'm also whipping up some s'mores cupcakes (recipe to be shared at a later date) for my brother's birthday, at his request-his birthday is this Tuesday and I'm not sure if I'll see him so cupcakes will be given tomorrow. I'm pretttty excited! What are you doing for Mother's Day?
