Family Dinners


For the last few weeks my sister, brother in-law, and niece have come to my house for dinner on Thursday nights. It is wonderful! We try to do dinner at least once a week and this summer we got the idea to come to my house. It is nice because I try to find new recipes to cook. Last night we had some delicious Cliantro Thai Chicken (thanks to Pinterest) with rice and broccoli. Brighton even got to have the gelato after she ate her dinner, and she loved it. She keeps us busy as she now is crawling everywhere! She loves to try and help me in the kitchen. At 8 months old she already loves the iPhone to watch Mickey Mouse on


On a different note, after three long weeks of work I decided to splurge and do some much needed retail therapy. I had a great evening with a great friend! I found a new dress, shirt and some things for the house. What really made the night wonderful was what we found in the dollar bins at Target. As some of you know the puzzle piece symbolizes autism and helps promote autism awareness. We happened to be looking through the dollar bins at Target when we came across some awesome deals. Check out this cool bin and note pad!! Both were a dollar a piece. I am so excited to get to our new office next Saturday and set these on my desk. We also found bulletin board trim and name cards with puzzle pieces. We cannot wait to help decorate our respite area for all the upcoming trainings in the new office! The retail therapy was a success. One more week of intense work then to pack and move to the new office!
