Picture Time

It has been over a year since me and David have gotten pictures taken that are good quality. This last week, we had a friend from church (Nicholas Tifft) take some pictures so we could update our walls and also so I could update my website with some new head shots. Here are a few of our favorites.

And... I'm back!

I always seem to forget about this blog in the midst of school, life, and blogging for Nicole Marie Photography and Neeko and Adily. I realized the last blog post on this blog is about losing our little kitten, Eeyore. But we have since gotten two kittens who are now cats. Piglet and Eeyore are our little kitties and we love having them around.

Here are a few pictures of them when we first got them.

 

And this is them now. They are sooo big! 

 

 

I hope to keep updating this blog with the happenings of my life regularly, but I cannot promise that as I usually forget about it.

Eeyore

As many of my Facebook friends know, my husband and I recently adopted a kitten (who we named Eeyore) from our local humane society. Sadly, we only were able to enjoy our super cuddly kitty for a short 11 days. But we rejoice in the fun we had with Eeyore and the fact that although death comes here on earth, we are saved from eternal death through Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Me and David decided we wanted to write down a few things we loved about Eeyore and a few things we did not quite appreciate. So here goes...

We love that you trusted us from the start.

We loved how you always wanted to be around us.

We loved how you followed us in the morning because you missed us at night.

We loved how you became a Macbook lover.

We loved how you liked listening to music.

We did not appreciate the times you peed on our bed, floor, and bathroom rugs.

We did not love that you got sick within 5 days of getting you.

We loved how when we talked about locking you in the bathroom on your first night with us because we were worried about you peeing on the carpet you walked in your litter box and went potty.

We loved how you used our guitar as a stepping stool to the table.

We loved how you used a pillow as a ramp to get on the couch.

We love how you always laid out in the sun in the mornings.

We loved how you hardly ever meowed.

We love how you cuddled up with us on the couch and bed.

We love that you taught us that we are going to be good, loving parents.

We love that you were like a rag doll who always let us pick you up.

We love that you let little Jacob carry you around the cabin.

We love that you let us give you baths.

We love how you hated the blow dryer.

We love how you loved our microfiber blankets.

We love how you always could find a way under our bed. Even when we tried to block it off.

We love you and miss you, little Eeyore!

Coffee Date

The other day, me and David went out for a coffee date at Starbucks. This date included Blink, Skip Bo, and God's Word. :) I may have won Blink everytime and Skip Bo almost everytime. It was such a fun afternoon of relaxing and fun with the hubby.

Catching Up

I have not blogged in a long time. Life just got crazy! And man, oh man, it's been so fun. Here's a few things I've done...

1. I got married.

2. Me and David (my studly hubby) moved into our apartment. It is not the nicest place, but it's ours. And I think it's quite adorable.

Our Bedroom with our Prayer Board :)

3. I started school again. Sorry, no picture. Basically, it's just craziness and I love/hate it. Hate the homework, love the knowledge. I particularly am loving management and marketing.

4. Me and David went to Disney World. Let me tell you what, Disney is the most gluten free friendly place ever. The food was amazing and the chefs, waiters, and everyone was so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about allergies. Basically, I cannot wait to go back. I want to jump on a plane right now.

Us with Chip and Dale!

More about these things and more to come in detail. But, for now... Homework.

Sweet and (mildly) Spicy Chicken Kabobs | Gluten Free/Low-carb

Last night my friend, Alyssa, and I made chicken kabobs. I had a spice packet from a company that I usually love that I wanted to try. Well, that marinade was flavorless and spicy. Spicy is great, but not without flavor. So, I decided to make up a recipe on the fly. I am happy to say that it actually turned out AMAZING. I am so proud of myself. It was a most delicious meal and super easy to make. Here's the recipe for any of you who are looking for a healthier, quick meal.

Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken breast
2 green peppers
1 onion
1 T. splenda brown sugar (hence low carb)
1/4 c. olive oil
1 T. cooking sherry
1 T. soy sauce
1 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/2 t. crushed red pepper
Skewers

Soak the sticks (if wood) for about 15 minutes in water).
Cut the chicken, onion, and green peppers into 2 inch sized pieces.
Mix all the ingredients (minus the chicken, onion, and peppers) in a bowl.
Put the chicken, onion, and peppers on skewers. (I usually put a pepper at both ends to keep the chicken and onions from falling off.)
Brush the marinade on the kabobs.
Grill.
Reapply the marinade halfway through grilling.
Eat. Enjoy.

Hope you all love it!
