A Tisket a Tasket
Ok, so this isn't exactly a picnic basket, more of a picnic backpack of sorts. We received it as an engagement present last summer, and just had the opportunity to use it last weekend. This picnic marvel comes equipped with everything you will need for picnic bliss: plates, cups, napkins, silverware, a cutting board, wine opener. It even comes with those itsy bitsy salt and pepper shakers. I love those things.
Movie Monday
This is our nephew Asher. He is most definitely the cutest thing in our lives right now!
Breakfast of Choice
I've been waiting a long time for a bowl of Rice Krispies Treat cereal. My sister was able to wrangle some down in South Carolina at the Wal-Mart that she worked at this summer. I had a bowl this morning at my desk. Thanks for breakfast Anna!
6 months
This has been the fastest 6 months of my life - by far! When I was in college I always verbalized how fast each semester seemed to fly by. And it did, each one faster than the one before. As life continues, there's no sign of it slowing down. The complete opposite is occurring unfortunately. Time is speeding by. We have been married now for 6 months, and it has been the most important, fantastic, challenging, crazy, encouraging, frustrating, compromising, wonderful, fun filled, life changing time I have ever experienced! And I wouldn't have it any other way. I thank God every day for bringing us together to travel this road side by side.
I love you Dave!
We took the middle tier of our wedding cake out of the freezer to share with my family up at the cabin this weekend. Why did we freeze more than one tier you may ask? Well, we served cupcakes to our guests and also had a cake for...nothing really, except to get pictures of us cutting it. Most of it went uneaten, so we stuck it in the freezer and decided to pull some out after 6 months, and save the top tier for our 1 year anniversary. Isn't it pretty? Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

The one with the new fridge
We have failed to keep you in the loop with our appliance problems. This actually is a problem that was first noticed when we moved in: the freezer didn't keep ice cream as frozen as it should. Now, this may seem trivial to some, but for an ice cream lover like me, frozen ice cream is really what's desired. We at first chalked it up to this freezer just running a little warmer than most, but didn't lose sleep over it at that time. As the months went on, however, we noticed other things that weren't quite freezing properly: fruit, pizza...and the straw that broke the camels back...pudding pops. No one messes with my pudding pops!! At this discovery we took action and called in the troops. These pictures were taken of our old, dysfunctional fridge. Notice the name plate that was proudly displayed on the freezer door. We laughed about this for a long while.
Here, I'll give you a close up
That's right, THE KELVINATOR! It sounds so strong and "to the rescue." Well the Kelvinator failed us! With a little quick thinking, Dave snatched that name plate off the freezer, so we will have something to remember him by. It's such a funny name for a fridge, we couldn't just let him be forgotten. Thankfully the Kelvinator was replaced, with a not as humorously named fridge, but a much more functional one. Here is our new and improved ice cream keeper. I know it's used for more than that. I do. I cant really recall it's other purpose at the moment, but I know it has one!
The new name plate may be more shiny and better looking, but man is the name BORING!
Have a good weekend everyone! We are headed to the cabin.
