Tonight, Peter and I made angel food cake and homemade whipped cream with fresh strawberries! It was so amazingly good! Its one of my favorite desserts! We used the castle shaped bunt cake pan that we got for our wedding, and it turned out pretty well. I think that it would work better if we used a cake that wasn't so sticky though. We discovered tonight that Peter is excellent at making whipped cream! We will have to make it more often for sure! I also made puppy chow as a snack for us tomorrow. Puppy chow makes me feel like I'm a little kid again, I love it! It was great to spend the time with Peter tonight, we had so much fun.
About a week ago, Peter ordered a waffle iron for me and it arrived this weekend! I LOVE waffles! So I'm planning on using some of the left over strawberries and whipped cream for a waffle tomorrow. I can't wait! I feel bad, but every time that I have made waffles, Peter hasn't been around, so we might do that for dinner or something so he can have some. Sometimes the most simplistic things make me incredibly happy! Plus, they're a lot of fun to make! Gotta love it!
I know, I'm such a dork for writing a blog about it, but it is, after all, totally amazing! haha!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!!!
Happy St. Patty's Day!!! It's one of my favorite holidays of the year! I could eat corned beef and cabbage EVERY day, seriously. Plus, I think I look pretty good in green, not that I actually wore it today, lol.
It's not much of a stretch to say that I miss spring break! No matter how boring it may have been. The puppy is pretty upset that she has to stay at home alone all day while we're gone. Our front door is the type that has a giant window in it that we cover up with a curtain...well, she's been sticking her head in the window and jumping up on it while barking. I'm pretty sure that she is going to rip the curtain down one of these days, lol. Her new game that she likes to play, and shes getting pretty good at, is where she goes to the top of the stairs and I throw the ball up so she can catch it. If she misses it, she pushes the ball down the stairs, with her with her paw or her nose (it's very cute), so I can throw it again. If she catches it, she runs down the stairs and does a victory dance. I know, I talk about my dog like she's a kid...but she kind of is, right? Just a hairy version...
I am very excited to only have a month and a half left of this semester! I enjoy most of my classes, but I'm completely lacking motivation. Plus, I'm kind of excited for a few classes next semester (no, I'm not a nerd, lol.) I'm trying to figure out what I should do this summer job wise, but I'm not really sure. I might get my notory license and do that, but it's just something I'm considering at this point. Any recommendations would be nice :)

Just a little note...
I am so happy that it is finally spring break! Spring semester always seems to take forever, and spring break means that its closer to being over. I don't have any plans for the week, but I'm thinking about going on a few day trips, along with the mountains of homework that needs to be done. I don't understand why professors think that spring break is an excuse to assign more work... I'm sad that Peter doesn't get any days off work, though. It would be so much more fun with him around.
Yesterday Peter played paintball for a few hours and I hung around the house. I contemplated seeing a movie while he was gone, but it's no fun by yourself :( When Peter got home we went to a BBQ with the guys he played paintball with and their wives. It was okay, but my favorite part was the banana split I got after. We found this cute gelato shop in Staunton that makes really good banana splits, so we've been going there a lot lately. It's all so good!
I always feel so much better when the house is clean, so I'm happy that I was able to get the house clean, or at least the downstairs, lol.
We've gotten a few requests for updated pics of the puppy, who isn't so little anymore, lol. So here you go! :)
She likes to sit in front of the oven until we give her a treat...
