Four Ingredient Dessert :)

I love cooking and enjoy it even more when there are just a few ingredients. This simple Frozen Lemonade Pie is so easy to make and taste delicious! I made this yummy pie for my neighbor who is pregnant with a little boy. I can't imagine how hard it is to be on bed rest for two months... I wanted to make her life just a little bit easier!

Now on to the recipe-
All you need is
*one can of sweetened condensed milk
*one can of frozen lemonade
*one container of Cool Whip
*one graham cracker pie crust

(Notice I buy store brand everything!)


1. Combine the condensed milk and thawed frozen lemonade


2. Fold in the Cool Whip. It will make a TON of filling!


3. Fill in the pie crust with the filling and freeze until serving :)

Stark's Birthday!

Last night we went out to dinner to celebrate our friend Stark's birthday. He was popular enough to have 27 people come celebrate the big 27. We had a blast trying a new Mexican restaurant in town. With that many people there it was difficult to talk to everyone, but we did meet a sweet couple with a little girl named Charis. Here are some of my favorite pictures from that night...notice there are none of me and Matt! owell!

Candid picture of Matt and Kyle. These boys are the best of friends and are lucky to have each other. With Kyle, Matt would been miserable listening to all my school talk!


Mary is exhibit A of why tanning bed accelerator should not be applied while in the real sun! Gotta love her!

Matt and his boys dancing!

Brooke, Christine, and I


are my favorite! I just love the idea of two people madly in love, beautiful flowers, cute summer dresses, and great food.

Our friends John and Lindsay got married in Rock Hill, SC this past Saturday. Matt was a groomsman so I got to sit with my friend Brooke. The reception was at Winthrop in a beautiful hall. It was absolutely gorgeous with all the light coming in through the windows. Lindsay looked like the perfect bride!

We all of Matt's childhood best friends there, it was a wild time. The boys were all grooving and being there typical selves! I can't wait for us all to get together again.
