Anniversary!!! :)

This morning I managed to get out of bed an hour early to make something special. :)

The biggest doughnut ever, for my sweetheart.

Today marks 18 months of dating :) Today marks the first kiss I gave him; on his shoulder :)

He showed up with a surprise of his own this morning, when he got off work.(he works overnight)

My very first tool sets! They are going with the drill and will make small power tool babies :D 

This is perfect because I don't even own a hammer and I lost my one screwdriver, so now I am prepared for any small repair or moving/decorating incident :)

Here are the two backup doughnuts I made in case the first one broke. Wonder how long they will survive in the house with my brother.... :P

Doughnuts are super easy to make though! I'm scheming up a party or some shindig to make mini doughnuts for ... :) Here is the recipe I used. I almost panicked this morning when I saw the chill time, but did some quick research and went ahead without doing that, and they turned out fine :)

Happy Thursday!

Anniversaries...

   Today is pretty interesting. Anniversary of bloodiest day in American history - Civil War battle of Antietam. ( I find Civil War and World War history quite interesting. Mainly because the scale of the carnage is so hard to comprehend.) Of course, sadly, this pales in comparison to the number of people killed by abortion....the most 'politically correct war' ever.

   Today and this week are also the anniversary of our Constitution :) Yay!!! I love the fact that a few men took on responsibility for the political destiny of a group of people, and their moral standard, thereby forming the nation I am happy to live in. I wonder how this kind of character can be instilled today...?

   On a personal note, today is also the 13 month anniversary of dating a really sweet guy I am still UBER happy to call my boyfriend :)

He makes my life so much more full. :)

I would also like to take this opportunity to diss any superstitious nonsense about the number 13 and say that 13 can be the best yet! ...of anything :)

Happy September 17th! :)

p.s. I looked to see if today was any holiday that I did not know about....

there you have it. lol
