Happy 3 Years!

We celebrated our 3 year anniversary about a month ago!  We had a great time celebrating!

It's hard to believe that it was 3 years ago that we were dressed up and ready to say I do.  It feels like it was yesterday!

It was a day I'll never forget.

For year number three we celebrated by going to Firebirds.  It was fabulous!

Here's my sweetie in mid action of eating our delicious dessert....

We got a fudgey brownie with chocolate syrup, caramel, and ice cream!  

It was heavenly!

I also told Jon that he better not get me anything either because we were going to the beach for the weekend.  The stinker didn't listen to me and he ended up getting me three sunflowers for three years.  So sweet.

I couldn't be mad at him.  He's a sweet fella!  

I'll post about our beach trip soon!  We had a Jaws experience!  Haha!

Love,

Go Big Orange!

It's that time again!  Time to break out the orange and white!  

I've got my new football decor on my front door and my house is bleeding orange!

I love it! 

I'm also excited about putting out pumpkins and mums....and of course, raiding Bath & Body Works for some pumpkin smell goods!  yummy!

It's finally football time in Tennessee (and in South Carolina because that's where we are cheering from this weekend...haha!)

GO BIG ORANGE!

Family Time on Memorial Day

We had family come into town over Memorial Day Weekend!

It was such a fun time!

We ate ice cream...

made funny faces...

walked around downtown...

played golf...

and had a family baseball game....

(it wouldn't be complete without losing the ball on the roof)

enjoyed quality time together...

of course we went fishing...

this one helped me get over my fears of touching a minnow...

aren't they precious...

I also touched a bigger fish...

and I got my very first pink fishing rod!!!

we played games...

and more baseball...

and had a cookout!

I love our family!

I think they should come again soon!

Love,

Christmas in August

Just thought I'd post some pictures from Christmas.

Yes, that was in December of last year.

Haha!

Yes, I did get him a talking coin jar!  Bahaha!

Our tree.....

So joyous about the long drive home...

We went on annual trip with Jodi and Chad to see Christmas lights...

Friends are friends forever....

I love this picture of Hal...

there we go....

me and the sister...

me and the hubby...

isn't he cute?

fun at Ma's house...

so precious...

board games...

the never ending game of Monopoly...

making cake pops for the first time every with Addie Mae...

she's a little princess...

and a great helper in the kitchen...

I can't believe I didn't take more pictures at Christmas.  I've got to do better this year.  I MUST get pictures of everyone in the family!  So family, if you're reading this....let's make it happen this year!

Can't believe that Christmas is less than six months away,

Adventures in Food Land

I've been exploring new things in the world of food...

My very first Indian meal.....

It was interesting to say the least.  I wouldn't say that it was my favorite.  I did love the bread though.  (I am my mother's daughter.)  Ha!

I also tried making my first green smoothie...

It was delicious!

Preacher Man kinda liked it, but he didn't LOVE it.

I also did a hot dog bar with some friends....

We grilled hot dogs and I took this spread of toppings over to put on your hot dog.  It ranged from slaw, onions, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled green peppers, chili, potato salad, relish, pickles, jalapenos, cheese, mustard, ketchup, and macaroni and cheese.  Hello, hot dog!  It was one of the best foodie things that I've done.  It was a blast and everyone seemed to like it.  I will definitely be repeating this one.

I also made a holy cow cake...

this is what happens when your small group comes over.  I had to ask someone to leave a piece for my husband and that is all he got!  Ha!

I also tried out Pioneer Woman's White Chicken Enchiladas.  

I had high expectations but I just wasn't impressed.  :(

I also signed up for an online farmer's market.  That will have to be a blog post in itself.  It's awesome!

AND I'm going out to eat my first Ecuadorian meal ever.  Whoa!  I'll let you know how that goes!

I have a bunch of new recipes I'm wanting to try so I'll keep you updated on what's good and what isn't.

Dreaming of more hot dogs,
