Happy Friday!

Hi there!  I'm thoroughly looking forward to the weekend.  The cooler weather has finally set in around here, so it'll be a windows open, fall candle burning kind of weekend.  

This weekend, I also plan to make up some freezer meals for the colder months, along with a couple of loaves of homemade bread.  Nothing is better than having a meal ready to go after a long day of work.  
 

Last weekend we were in Kansas City for one of Chase's cousin's wedding.  Chase has a huge extended family, so it was a fun time getting together with everyone.  It was a beautiful outdoor wedding, and they could not have asked for better weather for their special day.

We, of course, enjoyed some of the best KC BBQ while we were there, spent Saturday morning shopping with my sister-in-laws and Chase and I ended the weekend running around Lawrence for a bit!  It sure brings back memories of a fun four years returning to that beautiful town and campus. #Rockchalk!

Another bonus from last weekend?  We're still enjoying this welcome tin full of cake pops that Chase's aunt and uncle put together for the guests in the hotel!  There are only two left, but it has been such a nice, sweet treat all week.

We celebrated our two year wedding anniversary on Monday with a great meal at home of grilled filet mignon (can't beat farm fresh beef), garlic mashed potatoes, fresh sweet peas and toasted garlic bread.  For a little something sweet, we had brownies (thank you, mom!) topped with a scope of vanilla bean ice cream.

  It's hard to believe that two years has already passed since our wedding day, but what a great two years it has been!

Thank you for stopping in! I look forward to sharing some fall-themed posts next week because, HELLO FALL!
