Mmmm that is heaven in a pan:
Holy yum, that was the best start to a weekend EVER. After dinner, Garth and I went for a long walk to the video store and rented "The Office" Season 5. Love it.
Saturday we spent most of the day watching football. Sure, I was disappointed my Spartans lost, but I was cheered up when I read this article where State's QB said this:
"I have faith. Football's not my foundation. It's not my identity. My faith is in Jesus Christ and he's not changing anytime soon. I'll keep trusting in him and in his plan and move on from here. I'm thankful football is not my identity; football's not what defines me. If it was, this would be a lot harder to take. I have faith in Jesus Christ and he's my rock and he's got me, he's holding me and I'll be OK as long as here's there."
Preach it, Cousins! Love it.
Saturday night we met up with fun friends to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. We ate at this yummy brewery downtown Royal Oak and then walked around afterwards.
Sunday we went to church with the family. Then Garth and I went to pick-up a cake for my mom's birthday at this local bakery. I was so excited to give it to her because it was a replica of a Starbucks cup. And if you know my mom, you know she loves Starbucks. But when the chef put the cake on the table I was in shock. Garth didn't even know what the cake was! It was so horribly done and leaning over! I was very disappointed it didn't look pretty, but it did taste amazing, so it was worth it.
Love it.

It's so encouraging to hear public figures speaking out for Christ, isn't it?
That stinks about the cake ... did you take a picture of it? Maybe you could submit it to cake wrecks.
Yumm that food is delish!
You can send me some if you want to share..lol :)
I LOVE Beef Stroganoff!! :) It's my favoriteeee!!
Oh BOO about the cake! But thank goodness it was still yummy :) That's really all that matters right?... I bet your mom still loved it!
What a sweet hubby to make you your favorite meal and I agree. What a wonderful shout-out to JC and his plan. It's great to see people in position of leadership and who can influence kids & adults alike making statements that show their faith. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome statement by the QB!
Sounds like you had a great weekend, and your man made dinner? That's even better! :)
Did you get a picture of the cake? I'd like to see how they tried to do it...even if it didn't turn out great.
I love stroganoff too. Sounds like a great weekend.
Oooh, Happy Birthday Aunt Diane!
Glad you enjoyed Royal Oak Brewery, out friends live just down the street so we walk over there whenever we're in town. They are mug club members so you can find them there almost every night :)
YUM! My weekend was filled with yummy food and great friends, too! Can't beat it, right?
Beef stroganoff is one of Andrew's favorite meals too. ;) Looks incredibly yummy!! I love weekends filled with great food.
I'd love to see a picture of your mom's cake if you have one. You've got me curious now. :)
Yummy food.
I was bummed about the Spartan loss too -- I missed that quote in the paper; thanks for sharing it! What an awesome testimony.
Really? A starbucks cup? How cool is that!!
Do you have a pic?
Can you post it?
Sounds like a great-relaxing weekend :)
Aw, that's horrible about the cake! Bummer that it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, but I'm glad it still tasted yummy! :) And that meal that Garth cooked looks fantastic!! Yum... I wish I could find me a boy that knows how to cook. :)
I would have been so upset about the cake!
That stroganoff looks amazing! You should post the directions!
Tell Garth he can come over about 7 tonight and D and I will be ready for our beef stroganoff dinner, we will make some bread to go with it :-) LOL
That looks yummy!!
Starting off the weekend with a great dinner is the way to go!
I hope you are having a good day!
I love the quote! I wish more athletes were like that! The Spartans have a new fan!
How refreshing to hear a college athlete express his Christian beliefs!
Too bad the cake looked bad--but I guess taste is the more important part? right? ;o)

Beef Stroganoff is the first meal Mr B prepared for me over 5 years ago now... I think it had a big hand in winning me over :)
