High Five for Friday & Prayers for Parker

High Five For Friday Friends!  Linking up with Lauren.

1) I made this Quinoa Mac & Cheese for dinner and I have to say I was surprised at how much I loved it.  You should try it.....seriously.  So easy to make and so delicious.

2) I'm taking the last class in my undergrad career before my Capstone Project is due next month.  The only thing better than being this close to the end is the fact that my professor is absolutely wonderful.
  
3)  These are two of my latest addictions.  I put the mixed granola on the greek yogurt I have with my lunch and the granola chips are the perfect mid-morning snack while I'm working away.  Both are incredibly flavorful and packed with healthy ingredients. 

4) Our house is finally ready for the new floors that will be installed next week!  Our house is essentially empty, minus the dog bed, our bed and these two chairs so it feels like we're moving out even though we aren't.  It is weird to think that after a year and a half of construction, most of which we have done ourselves with the help of our fathers, the projects inside will be done.  We plan to add an island to the kitchen and two more cabinets but I don't really count those.  I can't wait to get outside and work on our yard!

5) The Neon Run is tomorrow night!  This will be my first run since I started treatments for my asthma almost 7 months ago.  I feel pretty fortunate to work with such an active and motivating group of people and I'm excited to get out and run with them tomorrow.  I'm a little nervous about how my asthma will be with the cold air but I have to test my lungs sometime!

In news unrelated to H54F, our nephew Ryder who is in Kindergarden, has a friend (and son/grandson of family friends) who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma on Wednesday and has a large tumor above one of his kidneys.  If you happen to be a person who prays I ask that you join us in praying for Parker and his family as he embarks on this journey to beat cancer. A multitude of thanks in advance.

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. -Pslam 55:22 

For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.-Romans 8:24-25 


I hope you enjoy your weekend!

    1. Hi Rachel! Yes, after 6 years of college I am beyond excited about completing my program and I'm equally excited about not living under construction very soon too! Thank you so much for the prayers for Parker, it sincerely means a lot!

  3. What are you doing to control your asthma? I feel like every time we think we have Jonas' under control, he has another outbreak! So frustrating. Good luck in the run, hope it went well!
