Weekend Update!

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and had a fun Super Bowl Sunday! We had a pretty nice weekend aside from the fact that I was fighting a cold (thanks S!)

Going back to Thursday -

I left work a little early to make my way over to base so I could attend S's award ceremony :) He had been awarded 'Instructor of the Quarter' twice last year and because of that, he was also nominated and being awarded for making 'Command Instructor of the Quarter'. I didn't get to attend his last award ceremony so I was very excited this time around.

I felt extremely proud to see S up there, being honored by the whole command. He is such a hard worker and focused on his career in the Navy, I just know there are many more great things to come for him.

On Friday: 

I don't have any pictures, but we went out to O-Ku for sushi with Lindsey, her hubs, and baby Liam! It was so fun to get out and have a nice dinner (and sangria) with friends. We definitely need to do that more often with them.

Saturday:

I had to get up a little early to help out a friend in the morning. My friend Krista owns a catering business called In Season Catering. She's awesome and I've always wanted to have the chance to give her a hand in the kitchen. She had to go out of town for a couple days so I helped her out by finishing a few loose ends for a client to pick up.

I finished up these delicious chicken pot pies for her, wish I could've taken one home for myself!

After I got home, we brought Gunner to the dog park at JICP. He had a blast, as always, and found himself another new friend. When I first saw the other dog, another German Short-haired Pointer, I thought it was Gunner! They are almost twins.

Beautiful SC day.

Gunner is on the left, his new friend Banks is on the right. So cute!

I think S and I worked up an appetite just watching those pups run around so we headed out to Crab Shack at Folly Beach for a late lunch and local oysters.

We were really bad and ordered some other fried delicious-ness (green tomatoes, scallops, and shrimp) then called it a day. S literally passed out on the couch by 8pm and I stayed up watching Hunger Games. Nothing like a rowdy Saturday night!

On Sunday, I made delicious homemade pimiento cheese and got together a few other things to bring over to our friends' house for Super Bowl. I just realized that I only snapped a pic of the cheese and nothing else, oops!

 One was jalapeno and one was bacon, YUM!!

I posted the Pimento Cheese recipe last week and I highly recommend it! It was super easy and definitely delicious. I also loved the fact that using my stand-up Kitchen Aid made it a breeze (Linds - you know you have no excuse not to make this for TJ now lol and I'm sorry! Consider it just another fun recipe to make with your new mixer :)

So that's pretty much it! Hope you all had a great weekend and are having a great week.
