Happy Mother's Day

May 11-13, 2012

This year I didn't get to go home for Mother's Day, but I did miss my mom.  Everyone thinks they have the greatest mom, but I really do.  I've grown to appreciate all the small, unnoticeable things she does.  If at anytime I needed something, she would drop everything and be in St. Louis in an instance.  Here's what I love about her:  her thoughtfulness and willingness to do anything for us kids!

Here's how I spent by weekend:

Friday, May 11th:  Keith and I hadn't spent much time together this week so we just wanted to hang out!  We had symphony tickets, but decided dinner and a walk in the park was better suited for the evening.

Saturday, May 12th:  I needed to cancel out my run today by making Glazed chocolate avocado cupcakes!  Keith and I went to bike race that evening followed by dinner on the Hill.

Sunday, May 13th:  We headed to Castlewood State Park for a TOUGH hilly trail run.  This week will be exactly six months since Keith and I's first lunch date.  I decided to show him my cooking skills by cooking a dinner of black beans.  Not sure how this ended up this way, but good thing both of our stomachs are used to beans, beans, and more beans.  We had spicy black bean soup, black bean mango salad, black bean burgers, new potatoes, and peach cobber!
