because sometimes it rains …

this weekend has been quite the stormy one. friday night we took kramer out for his last walk of the evening when it started to rain … and i mean rain. by the time we got home we were all completely soaked even through our “rainproof” jackets we had worn incase of the expected downpour. we wrapped kramer in a towel, lit some candles, and relaxed together on the couch while listening to some of the most perfect music for a rainy friday night. it was honestly one of the best evenings we’ve all had together in a long time. incase it’s been raining wherever you are lately or you just need a good (according to me) playlist, i have included one below … enjoy!

you know those recipes you find on pinterest that look so good yet you never get around to making? or in our case, making anything not straight out of the freezer… well last night i decided it was time to try one i’d been eyeing for a while and get out of our frozen food rut. we made “skillet baked stuffed rigatoni” and … wow! was it good. besides being slightly difficult to prepare in a tiny kitchen (but then again, what isn’t?) and stuffing each noodle with the combined cheeses, which was a bit time consuming, i think we would make it again. plus we have plenty of leftovers to last us a few nights this week. and seriously … it was so nice to sit down at our actual dining table and give our poor coffee table a rest for once … i mean really … that is what it’s meant for anyway! next week i’m thinking of trying this “lemon thyme cake”. maybe for our weekend brunch?


*p.s. you can see the recipe mentioned above as well as the pin’s original home here.

this weekend was one of those exceptionally good weekends. saturday night a group of us went out dancing for our dear friend jason’s birthday. the night was filled with lots of energy, silly dance moves, and lots of laughter. since we didn’t get home until around 2 a.m., we took this morning easy and after getting a bit of spring cleaning done, we eventually headed up to park city for a delicious dinner this evening. -and boy was it delicious. if you ever make it up to park city, do yourself a favor and stop at bandits bar and grill for amazing barbecue. mmmm barbecue … we ended our weekend with some homemade chocolate malts and the last movie in the bourne series, the bourne ultimatum, which is only the fiftieth time we’ve seen it. yay for weekends! seriously though, we love them! how were your weekends??

our favorite thing to do while dog sitting

for the past few years around this time camden and i find ourselves dog sitting three dogs plus kramer which makes four. one of our favorite restaurants, lone star taquería, just happens to be around the corner from the dog-filled house and we both constantly find any excuse to eat there just one more time. it has sadly been three nights in row now and even though we are stuffed to the brim with delicious mexican food, i know when tomorrow comes around we may just happen to eat there once more (or twice). and it’s not just the food we love either. we love sitting outside (when the weather permits) and enjoying above all, the atmosphere along with some delicious food as well as giving ourselves this little sense of vacation, even if it only lasts for a mere fifty minutes. i know it’s just a restaurant and honestly, i can’t find a way to say this next sentence without sounding like a major cheese ball, but lone star gives us a little something to look forward to and really is the perfect ending to our dog-filled days.
