5 on Friday

{1}-Knives are sharp

MG and I got a really nice knife set for one of our first wedding gifts and we've gotten a lot of use out of them (while also realizing just how horrible our other knives were). Well, I learned first hand the other day how sharp they are when the knife slipped off of an onion I was cutting, and got me right in my pointer finger. Luckily it wasn't terrible, but man it hurt! (Another reason I have an onion holder on our registry!) haha

{2}-60 degrees!

It has FINALLY made its way into the 60's around DC and I could NOT be more happy. It's nice going to work in the morning and not having to run to my car so I don't freeze to death. It gives me hope that I won't need snow shoes or snow boots on my wedding day in April!

{3}-Cooking Machine

That's me! A cooking machine! This week alone, I've tried 3 new recipes, on top of 2 new ones that I tried last week! I never thought, when I left college, that I'd enjoy cooking, but it's fun when MG helps, and I feel like I finally know what I'm doing. Sorta. :) And, having MG ooh, aaaah, and mmmm after I'm done making a meal gives me positive motivation to continue. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for some recipes like Skillet Shrimp with Orzo, Feta and Asparagus, Roasted Vegetable Enchilada Bake, and Beef Stroganoff! (You won't be disappointed!)

In case you wanted a sneak peek! :)

{4}-Wedding Checklist

I've been feeling relatively low-stress about the wedding stuff lately. And then Wednesday I had the realization that we needed to do welcome bags for our hotel guests (which is pretty much our whole wedding). And I just didn't have that in my head as something we needed to do. Which got me into a little bit of a panic about all of the other things looming around the corner that aren't on my radar. On top of the things that already are. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at having to do 80+ welcome bags...shopping for all of it, etc. Ugh. On top of making our escort cards, too...and whatever else is looming! Eeek! Anyone want to be my personal assistant for the next 50 days? :)
(Side note: it's 50 DAYS AWAY!!)

{5}-Jimmy Fallon

{via}

I kind of adore him. Ok, more than kind of. I would husband him up in a heartbeat. He's SUCH a down to earth guy, so funny (actually, freaking hilarious), SO talented.... And I just love how much he's in love with his daughter. I never really realized just how attractive (or funny) he was until I started watching his Late Night special (during which, I was laughing my butt off--if you haven't seen it, you need to find it!). Since then, MG and I have been DVR'ing the Tonight Show and watching it the next day--we love it! And, I just love him. Plus, when he's with JT, I think my world kind of implodes on itself and I'm not sure what to do with myself. But, that's another story. I'm here to admit: I love Jimmy Fallon!

That's it for me this week!

Hope you have an awesome Friday and weekend!

I'll be soaking up our mid 60's, for sure!!
