HomeMadePizza. + UPDATE.

 This weekend has been good. Sten and I kicked it off with a restaurant.com gift cert to Dos Diablos, where we stuffed our face with delicious Mexican food and Margs. On Saturday I had to stop into work, ran home, then we headed out to the 'burbs to see Kate and Peters NEW HOME! It is beautiful and perfect and they are so grown up! I couldn't be more thrilled about their new adventure. After church today I had to stop back into work, then Sten and I went on a bike ride. We were hot and hungry when we got home, and for some reason Sunday has been our 'homemade pizza night'. It just seems to happen that way every week. There has been some REALLY good pizza's in the last few weeks, but today was especially good. Chicken Alfredo with sun-dried tomatoes, onions and green peppers. I am telling you.... Making your own pizza is as easy as 1,2,3.
1. Buy a crust (I always buy Better Crocker Simply Add Water. - I like to pre-bake the crust with a little EVOO, and spices....)
2. Smear your ingredients on the crust.
3. Bake.
We love trying new concoctions. But this one will definitely be repeated.
Here is my Pre-Baked crust. No one likes a soggy crust.
 
This is the best Pizza in the world- Thai Chicken. WHOA.
 
This is tonight's pizza. sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, onions, and green peppers...mmmm!
 

 This is called Sten and Erica MasterPiece. REAL pepperoni, and REAL mozzarella. We don't make this one very often because it is not the healthiest. But it might be the tastiest!

In other news.......
Blogging world. I have missed you.
I am going to use that lame excuse that "work has been busy"... because it is true! Seriously, where did May go?
May was a big month for Sten and I. We became Aunt and Uncle x 2! Couldn't be more thrilled. We take our duties as Aunt and Uncle pretty serious!
May also concluded Sten's 2nd year of Seminary... Can't believe we have 1 summer and 1 school year left. I feel like we just moved here.
I can already feel June is going to be a good hot summer month. These are some things on my wish list:
- Run in the heat (June starts my training for the October Marathon!)
- Bike to the beach
- Get Kate into the city so we can live like the rich and famous.
- Make fresh foods and try some new salad recipes.
- Go camping.
- Have a cookout at the home we are house sitting for a couple weeks.
- Eat lunch outside more and get some Vitamin D.
- Go to a pool.
- Go back to MN for a friend's wedding that I have known and loved since 5th grade :)

Tomorrow is Monday, but lets not forget how much I LOVE the Bachellorette, therefore, Monday's are fun again!
xo.

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022.  So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST.  Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
