High Five for Friday!

                                                              High Five For Friday!... A day Late -Opps!
I recently was reading some blogs that reported weekly a "High Five For Friday!" What a fun idea! I am going to give it a shot...since recently I haven't had too much to blog about.  It is a simple chance to share with other the highlights of your week.  I love reading about other people's joys and the things they love & I hope you can appreciate the same for me : )



1. Funfetti Pancakes!!!
Over Christmas break my parents gave me tons of awesome stuff in my stocking...including FUNFETTI PANCAKE MIX.  I obviously was super excited and have been saving them for the perfect day! Which turned out to be today : ) ...Now, the question with Funfetti pancake mix is should you frost them or syrup them????? I was going to try both...but then I realized I did not have any syrup
:( LUCKILY, I am a total frosting junkie & I had plenty of that to use. IT was DELICIOUS! Total success- I will definitely buy these and continue eating them with frosting!

              This is my baby frosted pancake...needed to make a small one to to test the waters!

                                      I only had ONE pancake burn : ) : ) : ) .... a record for me?!

2. Banquet For The Broken
I am in an organization at my school- North Central University- called release.  Release is a program that spreads awareness of human trafficking, along with putting on different events to help raise money for those who are working to end this type of slavery.  Release put on Banquet for the Broken, a semi formal event for the students and others in the community to fund raise money for missions in Moldova.  The Missionaries spoke at the banquet and shared about how they are fighting to combat sex trafficking and rehabilitate victims in Moldova.

3. Roomie Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday to my wonderful roommate, Sarah! This week Sarah turned 22 & I surprised her w. a Candle, picture of us, and of course a plate full of wonderful cupcakes my friend and I had made the night before! Yay for Birthdays : ) I absolutely LOVE birthday gift shopping! (and Cupcake Baking)


4. Free Time
The last two weeks have been a little rough regarding getting hours at work.  The mall is slow & my availability was a little rough.  I decided to take advantage of my free time by baking a ton this week and writing letters to my relatives and friends that live far away.  I bought this inexspensive stationary at Target for a dollar and I absolutely Love it! Give me your address & I will most certainly write to you!


5. Working At The Bridal Boutique - I don't have a picture for this, but since I haven't been getting too many hours at VS I picked up a shift at the COL! Yay for looking at wedding magazines all night! What a treat : )
