I survived my first week as a college professor! Wow. It was fun, a whirl wind and Frog Prince and I continue to learn how to adjust to both of us working full time.
We took advantage of the long weekend and invited my grandparents over to our new house -- although it's far from finished {we don't even have couch yet}, it was wonderful to have them over and to make dinner for them!
In addition to a yummy apple bacon pork roast {new recipe}, Grandma's apple pie and twice baked potatoes, we also enjoyed:
Cherry Blueberry Breakfast Cake
Caramel Apple Cake
{recipe to come}
Balsamic Chicken
{recipe to come}
I'm looking forward to the day off tomorrow -- a day to catch up and get ready for the rest of the semester. Oh, and we will be grilling tomorrow... because Frog Prince got his grill today :)

Don't feel bad about the couches- we have lived here for 9 months! and still don't have any couches of our own. (We do have some awful hand me downs. awful. but one room continues to be empty. Such is life.)
