Here we go again!

What a weekend! Jay & I had a great time celebrating our Anniversary. Thanks to everyone for the cards, calls & happy wishes...they were appreciated! We can't believe it's been a year-and a great one at that! We are really very lucky to be surrounded by loving family & friends and it's made all the difference. Jay was surprised to open a package with a pair of little red socks inside (and at first I think he thought I was pregnant-I could only find children's socks in red!!) but then I told him to look inside & he pulled out the word "Boston." We are going to Boston in the fall!

He's wanted to go for so long. My Mom, Sister & Grandparents decided to join us & we planned a trip together. It was SO fun to surprise him & see his face light up, I love surprising people!! I'll post some picture later when I get a chance. We also went to Melting Pot & had an amazing dinner & saw the movie Away We Go.

Today is my first & last for the week...I'm so lucky! We are headed up to the cabin tomorrow morning with the family. That means I've got a LOT to do at work today so I probably shouldn't be blogging =) Oh well. My sister & I have planned Survivor: Northshore and we are finishing the last minute touches on the games, challenges, teams & supplies. It should be fun!!

Louise & the family get in tonight so we'll be headed to my Mom's after work for dinner & I can't wait to see her!! We'll be gone until the 5th so it will be a really nice break from work and fun to be with the family. This year I made my red velvet cake rounds but I also tried something new-Oreo truffles. If you like oreos you will die for these. They are mouth-watering, addicting, deliciousness full of double-stuffed oreo filling. If you are patient & daring, here is the recipe. Enjoy!

1 package of oreos (I use double-stuffed)

1 package of cream cheese

2 packages of baker's almond bark

Place 8 oreos in a bag & crush until reduced to fine pieces. Reserve for later. Let cream cheese soften. Crush the remaining bag of oreos in a large bowl & mix in softened cream cheese. Refrigerate until the mixture is cool & then form into balls. Dip them into the almond bark & sprinkle the tops with the reserved oreo pieces. Refrigerate until hard & enjoy!

Ok so much to get done & so little time...have a great week & a happy 4th!
