Wes and I have been having a great time with friends lately! Last week, Kayla was in town, so we went on a little double date with her and John to Purple Glaze. I just love that place. Wes isn't really the cutesy type, but he humored me and helped me paint a little house fund piggy bank.

Isn't he cute? I can't decide what to name him. Piggy? So original. Anyway, I put him on our new end table right by the door. That way, anyone on their way out might contribute. ;)

Speaking of houses, I am so excited! Wes and I decided we are ready to begin house hunting. And not just for fun to look around and dream, we're actually going to start looking for our home sweet home! While Wes is calling people and setting up appointments, I have been eagerly scouring the internet for cute houses for sale. My favorite website is zillow.com. It's easy to use, easy to view, and usually has the most information. But Wes was telling me that once we have the help of a realtor, they can set us up with a personalized website that will keep us updated with new listings that fit our description. I'm so excited!

In the midst of all the house excitement, we have also been enjoying spending time with our new friends, Crystal and Andi. It's nice to have another married couple around. We can relate to each other so well. We got to know them through our new 20's life group through church. Wes' parents are heading it up for now. Eventually, Wes and I will be in charge. We've met twice now, and each time, it's been so much fun! Everybody brings something to snack on, we fellowship, then have a short devotional/study/prayer time. It's awesome!

Wes and I hosted it last week, and this is what I made:

Caramel Apple Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Frosting. YUM!
