Yum...Bread and Chocolate

Last weekend, my sweets and bread fast ended. Actually, I gave up on my Lenten promises one week early. Close enough. Overall, I would say I did pretty well. Maybe a B+. I had a few slip-ups with the sweets. For example, my grandma and I made oatmeal raisin cookies and I was the taste-tester.
The no-bread rule was only broken twice. We also went to dinner with some people and I didn't want to be the strange one who wasn't eating the bread. I also ate Papa John's bread sticks, which are purely bread.

Today we were supposed to attend a BBQ at the park near our apartment, but yesterday we had a huge blizzard! Monster snowflakes fell all yesterday afternoon and overnight. I am no longer aloud to brag to the Iowans about how great the Colorado weather is. Yesterday, it was 70 degrees in Iowa!

Last thing - we are getting settled into our new apartment. It's tiny, but cute. The location is perfect. We are right next to a huge park and a hop, skip and jump away from downtown. Come visit!
