Cosmic Bowling

Jersey Shore bowling! And yes, Rush is wearing 4 shirts!

Spider Mums

These are the flowers from the wedding last weekend. Still alive and looking great!

Cookies

With today being one of my last days home, I decided to spend some time in the kitchen. After making Lasagna in a crock pot and dinner rolls from scratch, I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies. After our impromptu dinner party, this is what we had left over!

Sunset Surprise

I couldn't figure what to take a picture of today. While Rush and I were playing basketball and watching the sunset, I looked down on the beach and found this little guy.

500 Days of Summer

I saw a preview of this movie and thought it looked interesting. It finally arrived from Netflix, and I definitely enjoyed it!

Palm Tree

Another picture from what I consider our front yard.

Peanut Butter Blossoms

I haven't been in the kitchen for awhile so I thought I would have some fun today. Hopefully Rush enjoys them when he gets home!
