Weekend Recap + a recipe!

We started off the weekend with Luke having a job change.  Until this weekend Luke has had to work every night till 10:00 and most weekends.  This just wasn't working for us and after praying about it we thought it was best he just find another job.  Well God answered that prayer Thursday and opened a door for a new job.  WE ARE THRILLED! 

Friday we just wanted to relax because we were so exhausted and he had worked late every night the past week.  We recently started watching LOST from the beginning so we just hung out at the house and caught up on episodes.  I also made a recipe I found on Pinterest! Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies.  They turned out sooo good. Here is the recipe:



Ingredients :
1 package Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
1 egg
1/2 cup butter
1 cup creme de la mente chips (andes mints)
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp mint extract
6 drops green food coloring 

Directions:
Preheat over to 350
Mix cookie mix, egg, butter, mint extract, and food coloring together.
Then stir in andes mints and chocolate chips.
Bake for 8 minutes and enjoy.


Saturday night we had a date night and went to Chuy's.  Luke had never eaten there before and he hates mexican but he loved it!!! 

Sunday we slept in and watched church online.  We then went to Oak Mountain State park for an adventure day!!  We went canoeing and then hiking to Peavine falls!  

Macy going for a swim!

This was one of the best weekends of my life and I am so glad Luke was off and we could enjoy it together!!!

WE'RE MARRIED!!!

I know its been weeks since I have updated but life has been so busy! We got married July 22 and the wedding was perfect! We could not have asked for a better day and we are so grateful for our family and friends who came!

We got back from our honeymoon this past Saturday.  The honeymoon was amazing! We did a 7 night cruise to Haiti, Jamaica, and Cozumel.  We had so much fun and ate our body weight in food! Hopefully I can upload pictures as soon as I find my camera cord.

In the meantime, I will leave you with some wedding pics taken by our amazing photographers, Kitty Dorr and Kenny Byrd.
