So what have I been up to these past couple of days, well mostly cooking and figuring out what I can, and cannot eat! But other than that, it was my Dad's birthday on Sunday so we headed over there for dinner. It was good. I think my Dad was really happy so that's what's important and the food was great, although I was scared to eat any of the yummy stuff like burgers and hot dogs. I did however indulge in a bite of John's cheeseburger and a few homemade oatmeal cookies (which were to die for) but I paid for it the next morning. My stomach was very yucky!

Which leads me to another problem. I took a bunch of pictures at my Dad's and when I went to download them today they weren't there. It turns out that I have a faulty memory card! So I lost a whole bunch of pictures!! Ask me how angry I am!!?!??

Anyways camera fiasco over, I am glad to know what the problem was and happy that I won't keep losing pictures. And also happy that it wasn't my faulty camera!!

On Monday I got to look after my little niece for a while. She is getting so big, it is hard to believe that she is almost 2 already!! She was really cute, she spent all afternoon running around stealing my shoes. She would put them on and then walk around in them for awhile, and then move on to the next pair.

Isn't she cute?

She loves posing for the camera, and when I turned the camera around and showed her the picture, she said "aaaawww". Like I'm so adorable! And she really is!
I also tackled making a nice chicken stock. It was actually really easy. Just boil a chicken with some spices, salt and pepper, and some carrots, onion and celery, and 6 hours later you have a yummy stock.

Then on Tuesday I turned the stock into delicious chicken noodle soup. I hate to gloat but it really was delicious, well according to John it was, and he's my toughest critic. I had a little taste but couldn't eat much more than that because of the noodles which have wheat, which I think I may be allergic to or at least intolerant of. Why does my stomach have to be so intolerant??

So other than cooking, I have mostly been trying to organize the house a little (which is a huge project) and I went and watched the boy's basketball finals, which they won!! And I also lost picture of! Urrrghh!!

Oh and also I went over to my wonderful sister-in-law Cass's and she helped me create my wedding invitation. It looks really good. We made a little prototype which you can have a sneek preview of:

Isn't it awesome, just as good as going to the social page or something like that. Cass is totally talented, I love the monogram she made for me! The heart will be different and it's not the exact colors but it's close! I'm getting more excited about the wedding everyday. I can't wait to be Mrs. Gibson!

Anyways that's about all I've been up to lately, must go do some more meal planning!
