Me...

It was brought to my attention that I haven't shared a big piece of who I am on this blog. Not because I have been trying to hide it, but it is something that I rarely think about.

I am adopted.

...and I wouldn't have it any other way! My birth mother was very young and I am thankful that she was brave enough to have me and give me up. But that is where that stops, I have no desire to ever meet my birth parents. Other than maybe wanting to know some medical history for my records, it's not something that I have ever longed for...

...probably because I have the best parents in the world. I know some of you read this post back in May about my Mom and a little bit about how I feel about her, but let me say it again. She is my best friend. My inspiration. My rock to lean on. I love her more than words can say...

...and pretty much every time we are out together someone stops us and tells us how much we look alike. We just giggle and look at each other. But every time I am so proud, because she is gorgeous...

And then there are my two Dad's. That's right, two. They are both so amazing in their own ways. Most of you never read this post for them.

Without all these people in my life I don't know where I'd be.

I feel so blessed that God hand-picked these wonderful people to be my parents. I am forever grateful.

What's for dinner {7} // Homemade Pizza

This week Dave and I have been in food heaven since we got to make a trip to Trader Joe's this past weekend and were able to stock up on all our favorites. One of the things that we always get when we have a Trader Joe's nearby is their ready to bake whole wheat pizza dough. Even though we know how to make a very yummy whole wheat pizza dough from scratch, this is just so easy! (But if you are like us and don't have a Trader Joe's nearby try the link for our pizza dough!)

So here's what we did with our pizza dough this time around...

Ingredients~

Heat the sauce. Add spices/herbs. Roll the dough. Add toppings. Bake!

 I won't show any "after" pictures because it turned out looking like a hot mess. We had a tiny huge problem getting the beautiful creation to our pizza stone. But hey, we had a good laugh about it and it still tasted fantastic. I recommend hot sauce and honey for dipping. Not at the same time though...

My thoughts in pictures...

 So since it's Wordless Wednesday, I'm going to share with you all what's on my heart by posting some of my pins from Pinterest that have really struck me lately...
