Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2

So after a two day babysitting marathon with my two nieces, I have a new found appreciation for mothers. It's crazy what an insane job keeping track of children is. While I was wiping gravy off my 1-year-old niece Ava while 2-year-old Marin was running wild, I couldn't help but think about single parents with multiple children. Only through God's grace keeps those poor parents moving. My 20-year-old self slowly realized through this experience that there is no way I am ready for kids of my own yet. I love those two girls to death; I love Marin's giggle, and Ava's adorable grin. I also love that when one of them starts crying, I can gently point them in the direction of their mother. :-)

Spring Break has been interesting so far. Mostly I have spent those two days corraling my nieces, and now I'm taking it easy. I'll be working back at my old job for three days before heading back to school. Right now I'm enjoying the 80-degree breeze leisurely traveling through my house and the faint scent of carmelized onions. That aroma is a gift from God. While I was glancing through the freezer today, the frozen pot pies and chicken strips just weren't speaking my name ... nope, no frozen food for this girl. Okay, the shredded cheese was frozen. Now melted. One thing you may not know about me is that I am mildly famous for my pizza. Not bragging, speaking a simple fact ... The fact that I'm home alone did not deter me from my craving for Italian ... Leftover bacon, pepperoni, and ham joined the caramelized onions and became a delicious combination. Haha, I make it sound so dramatic ... I'm sorry I have the awkward-est writing style known to man. This is cooking for me though ... never too dramatic, always theatrical.
I'm pretty sure this pizza is going to last me until I head back to school this weekend. YES. So yeah, that's about it! Happy cooking.
