Addie Returns from College

Our sunrises have been in short supply lately. Having so much rain and cloudy days doesn't enable us to see the sun rise. I love to catch it when it does.

On Friday, the 16th, I worked the Friday care until 10:30am. The two children I have been watching gave me this very kind gift - $50 in Chick-Fil-A gift cards and my favorite candy-Reese Pieces and Reese Peanut Butter cups. It's literally the perfect gift for me! Made my day. :)

When I got off work, I headed for the airport to pick up Addie who was flying home that day from college for her winter break.

I invited the family over for her homecoming and Rachel's birthday. Adam wasn't able to come and Eric had a wedding rehearsal. Addie ended up sleeping the entire time - being up at 3:30am in a different time zone.

Another audiobook completed.

That Saturday afternoon, I went with Eric to a wedding that he did. It was very simple and sweet.

Does anyone else feel the same way? The rain and dreary weather. It's always dark. Boo.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined.
