High Five for Friday

I'm late again. Not surprised the time, huh?  Well not much has been happening around here this week, as the semester is coming to an end and I'm trying to be a good student and prep for finals (also not happening as much as it should). I'll have a month off from school, and I've pretty much "booked" all my weekends and have a long list of things I'd like to do with my free time!  But before I get too excited about that, let's talk about this week:

1. One of the things I'd like to do while off is to bake and decorate sugar cookies. I follow several blogs on this and it looks so fun and pretty! So after wasting a large amount of my life mulling over these beauties, I ordered myself a variety of (cheap!) cookie cutters and have big plans for them over the break!

2. Our sweet tooth kicked in after dinner on Thursday, and instead of our usual Steel City Pops outing, we decided to try something else (gasp!): Edgewood Creamery. They had lots of flavors of ice cream, and after sampling a few, I selected Special Praline and Jesse got Chocolate Raspberry. They were both a-mazing! I believe  they make there own waffle cones , which is exactly what I was craving.

3. Friday was the last day of class for Spring semester!!!

4. As  I've mentioned before, we are involved with a Community Group through our church.  Whenever we are digging into the Scripture for the week and trying to understand the meaning of it or what is going on at that time, a few people have study Bibles and are always like, "Well, this is a reference to Romans Job 2:4," for example, and we will turn there and it often brings clarity to what we are currently reading. So, we bought a study Bible and it arrived this week. It is HUGE, and we weren't sure how to use it at first with all of the numbers and letters sending you various places to look. But we got the hang of it, and I think it will be a great resource to help us understand the Bible better while we study.

5. A friend shared these videos with me, and they are quite hilarious. If you are a cat or dog owner, you can relate. Enjoy here and here!

  1. On #1 I read "Edgewood Cemetary" the first go round - realized that had to be a mistake and did a second read. "Creamery" definitely made more sense.
    Love that you are owners of a study Bible. You might as well add an hour to your Bible Study time, though, cause you can spend some time hopping through all the references. Did you know there is some really good advice for life in that Book?

  2. After dropping out of blog world for a while, I've finally caught up on yours! which only served to remind me how much I miss you! I'm limiting my comments to this post for now; I have more to comment later when I have more time. Which study Bible did you get?
