Miriam and baking!!

I have had the week off of school. I have not had to work much this week since the census is low at the hospital. I am going insane with boredom. I had looked at Shelley's blog and I decided I wanted to make the cookies she made look so appealing. I am not a baker at all, but this recipe Shelley posted was so easy!! I even had the chance to use my "magic bullet" that i received as a bridal shower gift to blend the oats!! This is an amazing recipe and now i just need some people to come on over and eat these cookies so i do not eat them all!! I can't wait for Jared to come home and see my amazing skills!!! Now if i can only figure out what to make for dinner every night!! I am starting to run out of ideas.. but maybe i can hold off on dinner with these cookies!! Thanks again Shelley for the recipe!!

Friends....

I am blessed with such amazing friends!! I had a bridal shower yesterday and was showered with gifts and so much love!! i saw friends i have not seen since graduation from high school, friends that have come in and out of my life and friends that are as close as family and of course my sisters were there (as they are for everything in my life). As i was driving home i was thinking how grateful i am and i just started crying in gratitude for the blessing of friends. Each one of the girls there i know had many things to do that day, but they were there to celebrate this time in my life and i am so grateful!! I have friends that have stuck by me through some hard times and i am so grateful for them!! I know i would be lost without my girls and i want to thank them again for everything!! I am once again sending a shout out of thanks and love to my girls!! You all have touched my life in so many ways and i am blessed to call you my friend!! Thanks for everything i love you all!!!
