Sticking to my new year’s resolution, I set aside time to catch up with my long-distance friends this week. Between all the meetings, gym time, and errands it was refreshing to sit down and spend quality time with my friends – even if it was over the phone. It proved distance is no barrier to sharing a few good laughs with close friends.  Hope you all have a great weekend!

Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies | Not Your Average Dairy Queen

The bakery down the road from us makes the best salted chocolate chip cookies. Their crispy edges and gooey center make it hard to eat just one! With a dinner party planned at our home, I decided to try my hand at baking my own batch of salted chocolate chip cookies. At the end of the night there were only crumbs left over, so I think it is safe to say they were a crowd pleaser!

We all have those moments in life where a single yes or no can change everything. Over the last few months my family has been waiting for my sister to hear if she had been accepted into the UW School of Education. If she received a yes, we all would celebrate and life would go on as normal, but if the opposite happened she would have to consider a new major or even a new university. Need-less-to-say, I have been on pins and needles waiting for her to call me with the news. On Wednesday, the news finally arrived. She got in! I couldn’t be more proud of her and this whole experience made me reflect upon how crazy life is. We are all where we are today due to these little moments and I am grateful for where they all have led me thus far.

Have a great weekend!
