Blueberry Muffins

Today was another day of a lot of nothing. I always have mixed emotions about these days. One I love that I have no responsibilities and can make blueberry muffins on a whim. But then reality crushes back down on me. I need a job I need to be making money and then all the fear and frustration comes back. So I try to keep myself useful. Today by cleaning the closet, making muffins, and doing laundry. That way I feel like at least I am being a productive member of this household. And it is a good chance to get things done that I may not have time to do if I had a full time job, like thank-you notes and scrap booking!

Zach got home around 4; Wednesday is one of his long days at school. He was pleasantly surprised by the muffins, but the realization that I am making food for 10 people and there are only 2 of us hit me! I also realized that I am turning more and more into a homebody I really don't mind not leaving the house.

Well I decided to make a Mexican Chicken dish I found on someone else's blog. So I needed a few little things from the grocery so Zach and I walked to Publix. Something I feel certain I will miss one day if we return to our lives back in suburbia. We even used the bag on wheels to carry the groceries, much more fun and better for the environment. When we got home I started cooking, something that I genuinely enjoy doing lately. It kinda hit me that once I have a crazy hospitality job with unpredictable hours that I hope I am still able to make meals for Zach and I. One of the unknowns in life! The Mexican Chicken turned out really well and Zach and I both ate it up :) So far we haven't had a bad meal, but I won't get too cocky.

I am also getting excited about this weekend. Hannah and Bobby are coming into town and I am so excited to have some friend interaction. I think that is the hardest thing for me is that I wish that we had friends to invite over for dinner and such. So they will be here Friday until Monday. Good thing dad left the air mattress, I can't wait for them to see the apartment we have been working so hard on it!

"What do you think about a palm tree?" This is the question that Zach just asked me! haha So I think that's my cue to go. Thanks for reading and enjoy the pics, blueberry muffins, dinner tonight, our bag on wheels and our apartment building!

More tomorrow. Pray for some news on a job!

Its a little pricey, but worth every penny. So save up so the next ti...

Clear Headed

I am back to blogging. I took a five year hiatus and honestly I have missed the outlet. I enjoy this release, and the ability to share with people (even if it's only 2 of you - hi mom!) I turned 30 this year and I am really focused on becoming and showing my authentic self. I love birthdays because I feel like its always a good time of renewal and to reset goals and visions. I am all about making myself better, and really discovering what is going to make me happy, and thats all about what habits and ideas are going to be sustainable. And this is a great platform to write about all those interesting things, that I am sure other people can relate to. So in this journey for authenticity I really want to strive for a simplistic materialistic approach in my life (this is a pretty new idea for me), but I think it will allow more space for the things that really matter. In an effort to move in that direction I received a little inspiration (which as we know always presents itself in ...

Crazy. Beautiful Life

Image
Well the past few weeks have been crazy! I am really getting into my new role and I must say I feel as if it suites me. Now I am still  "rookie" in every sense of the word, but to be honest I am learning from a great master. There is no better person to help me transition into this role and be the best that I can possibly be. And hey I am still me, I still Love, Love :) and that is what it is all about. When you have the honor of being a part of someone's most special day, a day that they will remember forever it really makes you realize how beautiful love is. We have a busy month ahead and I will try to update you on some of the weddings we do whenever possible because please do not doubt that they will be every bit of the word fabulous. In other news it seems that 2011 is the year of the weddings, Z and I have a lot of dear friends and family getting married this year. We are excited for this fun filled summer and fall and hope to make a lot of great memories along th...
