Guest Blog (Hubby's Turn)

Hello there fellow readers.  I am taking my crack at this blogging thing and taking over the blog for this post.  Life in the apartment has been pretty interesting lately.  House hunting, Lost marathons, working, and trying new recipes pretty much consumes our time... Just recently we bought our tickets for the Kentucky Derby in May that we are going to with another couple.  Words can't express how excited we are to go.  Just looking at pictures of the day makes us that much more excited.  Other than that we are just living the dream as a young newlywed couple in the city trying to become more involved in the community.  I will try to guest blog more to give you that man's take on things that you are all curious about.  Cheers friends!

Life lately in pics:

Lost Marathons

 

House Hunting

3/52 : 3 Ingredient Ice Cream

 

This homemade ice cream is only 3 ingredients.
-2 cups heavy whipping cream
-1 can of sweet condensed milk
-1 tbsp of vanilla extract

mix together until batter thickens/stiffens
put into bread pan and freeze for at least 8 hours. And enjoy!

This recipe is very sweet, we enjoyed it, but it is not something you can have a lot of because it is so rich.

We've been very busy around here, dinner dates with new friends, game night, our car got hit in the middle of the night and no one left a note, house hunting etc.


Let me know if any of you have been brave enough to try any of the desserts I have shared on here.


Stay warm out there friends.

"dessert a week"

that "one" t-shirt

You know that perfect t-shirt that you can wear with leggings around the house, be super comfortable, and feel super cute at the same time.

This t-shirt is that for me.

It shows off my tattoo just enough, has capped shoulders, and isn't an extreme scoop neckline (sometimes ladies less is more, cover them thangs up)

This is my go to t-shirt, my all in all.

Hope ya'lls new years is off to a magical start.

NYE

We hosted the New Years Eve party this year. It was a fun filled night with dancing, eating, singing, and playing games.

We spent a majority of the evening at the apartment, but ended up wandering downtown in the freezing cold weather.

Nick & I, and another couple were not having fun with the extremely crowded bars, the overly loud music, over priced drinks, and getting spilled on. So we decided the place we wanted to spend the ball drop at midnight at was on the couch, in our warm apartment, with our pajamas on.

Let me tell you, best choice I made all night.

Its not where you are, its who you are with.

 A few of my resolutions for 2013 are:
+ try new healthy recipes
+ read at least 30 new books
+write 3 blog posts a week
+take a spontaneous vacation with Nick
+stay ahead on laundry
+be more aggressive with my work outs
+spend more time outside
+find a way to volunteer in our community
+love more, let the little things go 
+bake a dessert once a week

What are some of your resolutions?

I have found that when I physically write down my goals, I have been more successful at achieving my them.
