Holy zing Batman that was good!!





































So, Casey's off being manly as he calls it and mowing the lawn, which means I'm inside by myself because I've already done my lawn duties which include pooper scooping the yard before he mows so we don't have poop pancakes in our yard. TMI I know but hey what can I tell ya, we have two dogs and small yard. I did however help myself out a bit by taking them for an extremely long walk at swift Cantrell today. I love that park!! It's just so pretty and cool. And since my hips and butt seem to be growing on some unknown exponential scale, cool weather is my hero. I did have a somewhat productive day all by myself however, casey was at work so I had to entertain myself. Since we've been on this organization kick I decided to continue the trend, especially when while shopping at Michaels for scrapbook stickers I found a supa cute pink and polka dot scrapbook organizer on sale!! Needless to say it's new owner is me! But since I'm not a major scrapbook maniac like some people mine is really more of a arts and crafts organizer. So, it has the scarf I can't remember how to crochet/knit ( see I can't even remember which one I'm doing) and all of my needles and thread for fixing things, and leftover scrapbook products from past projects. My next project is to finally start working on my UGA scrapbook. I've decided it's going to be the Alumni years, cause the college photos were too many. Of course Casey has taken all of them so we know they are fabulous, which means I have to decorate them to show off their fabulosity. So, I made a really good stir fry for dinner it came from my eating well website and used tangelos as part of the marinade. Super tasty with a little zing that Casey has requested I tweak a bit, because it is to spicy for him. Okay so I realized that since I'm a horrible poster their are no posts from my and Casey's annual trip to the beach house in Destin, and since depending on how my Uncle's family feels about it, it may or may not be here for us to use next year. I think this post will pay tribute to all the fabulous that were had. With the hope that there will be many, many more to come.

Fabulously Delicious






















Okay so today I tried my hand at Risotto for the first time and I must say it came out sooo super delicious I actually pulled a Giada and mmmed after my food. It was that good!! I'm rather impressed with myself. Well our house is almost officially a year old. It's been a year since we signed paperwork to begin building the house. It's so funny how time goes by so quickly. I mean in like two months Casey and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary. It's crazy to think we've been married a whole year, and we made it without a single casualty. So amazing, I thank God everyday for making Casey cause it's kinda hard to picture life without him now. Ahhh sappy moment. Okay all better now. Casey and I are continuing to add new things to our house. We keep saying we should hold off because before long it's gonna be time to paint and we're gonna have to move all that stuff. So far the only place we listened to our own advice on that has been in the dining room. Our newest additions include a foyer table, lamp and heirloom nick nacks from great grandparents. It looks oober nice if I do say so myself. I've decided that I could have a lot of fun helping people decorate their homes. I would never want to be a designer because I would need owner input, but I can definetely help. Casey and I are slowly getting more and more organized too, I think we've finally come up with a good system to pay bills. I accidentally forgot one last month and so had to come up with a new way to set up bill reminders. On a side note my neighbors kids are so darn cute the youngest one is in a super dress up outfit being pulled by her dad in the wagon and the second youngest in learning to ride his bike with training wheels. Sooo stinking cute. Casey and I have also put pictures of us all dressed up in our closet in fun primary color frames. And I reorganized my shoes cause Casey was teasing me about them I might need to go take a picture and post it so you can see. Okay so these pics are the newest additions to our house and of course one random one. I just don't know which. I will try to be better about posting again soon.
