5 on Friday!

Holy smokes - I can't believe it's Friday already!  This week really flew by.  It was definitely a busy week because I am tired today.

Here is a re-cap of the great things that happened this week!

1. It Finally Rained!

Now, most people would think that rain is kind of a downer but when you live in a rural community that is dependent on Farming, rain becomes SO important.  Wednesday night I decided that the dog and I need some exercise so we ventured out for a walk.  I knew the rain was close but we (actually I, the dog had no choice) decided to take our chances.  

Ok - so this was a little scary to be walking toward at 5:30pm but thankfully my heroic boyfriend decided to come and get us! :)

2. Painted Nails

This probably sounds just a little bit silly but I painted my nails on Monday night and they looked fantastic.  I don't think I have ever done this good of a job.  However, as I'm sitting here today, they are starting to chip a little bit so no pictures... 

3. Flower Pots

Toward the end of May I planted some flower pots to add some color around our house.  They are really filling out and blooming and have become so pretty with all of the bright colors!  I'm pretty proud of myself that they look so good because I don't have much of a "green thumb." ( I say that and notice I have some dead flowers to remove...)

4. Personal Development Calendar

Have you heard the idea that if you spend at least 20 minutes each day studying a topic that  you can become an expert in one year? I have always been intrigued by this idea and came across this personal development calendar that supports this concept!  I think I am going to make my own version and work on becoming an "expert" in interior design!

5. Steak Night

We live within driving distance of 3 awesome steak joints in western Iowa.  Last Friday night neither of us had any ambition to make supper so we went out for steaks at one of our local places.  Such good food!

Have a great weekend friends!
