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.

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
