Seat belts, Truffles, and Watermelon

I'm currently working on my side of our story and I'm hoping to have that up very soon. I have realized I can be long-winded when telling stories and what-not. Haha. We were very blessed that Jacob was able to work each of his shifts last week--even though I didn't enjoy being home by myself all day Saturday. We finally got the seat belt fixed a week ago and now we are finally safe when driving and don't have to hit it against the center console until it jingles. Yay!

I've been kind of outgoing lately and trying out new recipes. I made a chocolate chip cookie pie (which was amazing might I add). I wish I had a picture of it, but after I pulled it out of the oven I walked out of the room and by the time I came back in Jacob had already devoured half of a piece. Haha. However, I made cookie dough truffles today and they are amazing!

Cookie Dough Truffles

 

One thing I'll suggest is after you roll the dough out, instead of putting them in the fridge--put them in the freezer (otherwise they melt in the chocolate and become a big messy goop of dough and chocolate).

Other than school, work, and baking, we don't do much else, but we love when we get chances to do other stuff. We had an opportunity this last weekend to go on a double date with Jacob's old roommate, Alex. We ended up carving watermelons and making homemade apple cider. I know Jacob would agree with me when I say that Alex is amazing. Haha. Here are a few pictures of mine and Jacob's creations. =)

Jacob made a kitty to start off because we can't have a real one.

Then we made a volcano. My science teacher would be so proud. Haha.

 To finish it all up we made a happy face. =D

If there are any specifics we haven't covered--just ask and we will supply the info!
