Peanut Butter Cookies

The other night I had the urge to bake even though it was unbelievably hot outside. So I cranked on the A.C. and began perusing recipes...since my motivation was somewhat low I went for what looked like the easiest recipe and then turned out to be some of the best peanut butter cookies I've ever made. I thought they seemed a bit dry when I first tried one, but at work the next day they got raving reviews..."Just like my grandma's" is what one guy said! So here's the recipe:

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies:

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp. vanilla

(yes, that's it) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients together. Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with a fork. Bake 12-16 minutes. Enjoy :)

thunderstorms

I LOVE thunderstorms, and there is an epic one currently taking place.

I used to be scared of them, so why do I love thunderstorms so much? Because now I see them as one of THE most epic ways we can see God's power and creativity. SO awesome.

And now I am turning off all of the lights in my apartment and sitting by my window so I can thoroughly enjoy the beauty of it all :)

Happy

Well friends-summer has overtaken my blogging but I thought tonight I'd share a little post (if anyone still reads this that is).

I'm loving life and feeling great! And for most of you, you know that these are not words that have come out of my mouth for about...a year. There's so much I could blubber on about all of that, but for now I just want to say thanks to everyone who's been there for me this year-Lord knows I haven't been the most pleasant at times.

I'm also preparing myself to bird-sit and house-sit for 3 weeks in July...should be an adventure!! That's all for now :)
