The Final Countdown!

This last week has gone by soo fast!!  Only one more week to go!!  (Well, a week and a day :)) I'm excited to see all of my family again!  I'm also excited to see Weiser!  I never knew how much I would miss it just being gone for 3 months!!  I am truly blessed to have been able to grow up there!!
     So, On Sunday afternoon, Emily made some DELICIOUS caramel corn to bring to work, but of course,we got to "taste" it ;)  more like eat half the bowl :)

Here's the recipe :)
CARAMEL POPCORN
4 or 5 bags of microwave popcorn, popped: make sure that you get out as many of the un-popped colonels as possible!
1/2 bag mini marshmallows
1 cup corn syrup
2 cups brown sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
Put all of the popped popcorn in a very large bowl.  Mix the marshmallows in with the popcorn.
Mix the corn syrup, brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a sauce pan.  bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes.  Immediately pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and marshmallows and stir until it is well combined.  You can add more marshmallows after the caramel is on the popcorn.  (that's what we did :))  It's delicious hot, cold, warm....  you get the point!  Just be warned, this makes a ton of caramel popcorn so be careful!!  :)

Emily and I made a countdown chain when there was about a month left until Clay got home and guess what number we are on?  8!!  Here are 10 and 9 :)

We each get a dove chocolate everyday as a reward for making it through the day!  I thought it was a great idea!! :)  Anyways, Keith is getting soo big!!  I can't believe how much he has grown this summer!  He can almost sit up on his own!  He had his 6 MONTH doctors appointment on Monday!

Ya, I'm pretty lucky to have such an adorable nephew!!  :)  

On Saturday, Emily bought all three of the Divergent books for her Kindle and I finished the last one yesterday.  Holy cow!  They are soo good yet infuriating!!  It was worth the time though!!  

So, one more week!  Here we go!! <3
