Happy Friday!

Every single Friday I feel like shouting "Hallelujah!" at the top of my lungs, and dancing around wildly and also skipping all my Friday classes.

But I will not.

Except one. (and if you pre-plan to skip then it is less bad than skipping on a whim, because you don't "feel like it," right?)

Aaargh, this semester is hard. Every week feels endless, and every weekend feels too-filled with stressful activities.

But not this weekend, although it is fun-filled.

The plans?

Friday evening involves a Dutch oven full of Jamie Oliver's recipe for Jool's Favorite Stew, and a drive around the fall-filled mountains, and a possible fire for making delicious hot smoes with our friends Becca and Steve.

Saturday evening involves a baby-shower for my sister and law, full of desserts, fun baby games and my husbands extended family. Yay!

Sunday involves church in the morning, napping in the afternoon, and dinner on a fun farm in the evening with some friends from Minnesota who live here! Tammy is also pregnant, which is fun (much more pregnant than me) and they have a baby and animals for us to chase around. Whoo-hoo!

I'm so very excited.

But I'll see you all back here on Monday.
