Good Gracious, 2 weeks gone....oh, and Friday Fav's

Well hello there! I got an email from my aunt today. It read "I'm bored, update your blog!" And so, here I am. I've been meaning to do this for the past two weeks, but we've been busy man! Lots of stuff with friends and Greg and I have just been going and doing. And then I was "sick" this past week, and I just cannot blog when I'm all drugged up. Ok, and my dear readers, who I'm pretty sure are just my close fam and friends and you all probably know, but for those of you who may not, what I mean by "sick" and "drugged up" is the infamous monthly pain cycle. You know what I'm talking about. Yes, anyways, back to the past two weeks. Well I've been taking pictures with my phone like a mad woman, so I'll just annotate those and spare all the gory, long winded details that I love to do. :)

We've been loving cooking all of the bountiful fresh produce from local farms. I mean, who wouldn't want to eat this colorful goodness? 

 We got the BEST DEAL EVER on this grill. Can you see the tiny little grill that we were using before? It's in the background in our fire pit. Yeah, imagine crouching over that! Poor Greg. So one day we went out for charcoal, and found this grill on super sale for $26!!! Oh yea, Greg is the grillin king now!

Our first meal from the grill....

It was so super delish! Grilled portabella mushroom and bacon sammies. Remember those veggies from the first photo? They went into this delectable pearl couscous pasta salad. It's one recipe that I made up that we both actually loved. Yay me! Wow, I'm a foodie huh? All these pictures of food! I had more, but refrained from posting them. :)

 Fresh flowers from the Wednesday Farmers Market. $5 for this bouquet- they were so so pretty on my table. The Farmers Market is like the only place I will get flowers because they are huge and gorgeous and never outrageously priced like grocery stores. 

My cat Marco. He decided to try to wear my reusable shopping bag. It was sooo funny watching him try to wriggle out of it!

Last Friday we had some friends over for dinner. Greg and I made fajitas. Of course, no photos from the actual dinner, just the aftermath. Not too bad eh? It was such a good time. We had Michelle and her boyfriend Dustin, and Shannon and her husband Kail over. We had a fire in the backyard complete with smores. It was a lot of fun. Too bad Shannon and Kail leave at the end of next month...they joined the Peace Corps and were assigned to Peru! Pretty cool though huh?

Last Saturday my friend Glory had her band debut. They had it at one of the band members homes, and this was the view. Their band, Blue Honey, did a great job. I took their band photos last week. I'll post one up soon, they turned out pretty good.  

My Friday Favorite has to go to this cute little fella. Greg brought him home last night for us to foster until he reaches 2lbs. He just tugs at my heart strings he does! Currently, he is laying on my lap, loving my kitty scratches, making it very hard to type.... so worth it! I'm calling him MC, short for Moo Cow cause he has spots like a cow. Well I cant give him a serious name or else I might keep him! Apparently, some lady found him wandering around and like a good Samaritan brought him to SafeHaven. Kittens are just the best! Now if only our cat Dora could warm up, we'd be set! Or we'd have another cat. Maybe its best she doesn't accept any other animal in the house for now. But later...we might have a problem. For now, kittens are my Friday Fav. 

This weekend we don't have a whole lot planned...just a lot of house cleaning and stuff like that. I think we will hit up the Zimbabwe Music Festival at OSU. We went last year and it was fun. We especially enjoyed a few dancers in the crowd who never stopped dancing! it was great! What are you up to?
