Wordless Wednesday: Warrior Dash Edition!

Story Coming Soon

I have so much to blog about, but only time to do the ones I get paid to write! I have our Anniversary Adventure to tell you about, the Warrior Dash that I just ran, my beautiful flowers that I planted around the house....oh the stories...and PICS!

Happy Hump Day to all!

Anniversary Pics

Engagement pics weren't really an option for us. My dad was in the hospital recovering from a massive stroke for most of our engagement period. Visiting with him and my mom during our free time was much more important to us than snapping a few pics.

So...our big 1 year anniversary is coming up in a week and a half. For my gift to Cory I decided we'd finally get some professional pics made in which I wasn't wearing my wedding dress. We'd originally scheduled our session with our photographer for Saturday morning. But it was way too cloudy and dark Saturday morning to capture any good shots.

After talking to Kevin, our photographer, we decided to give Sunday morning a shot. We met Kevin around 7am on Sunday in downtown Flowery Branch. Sunday morning was HUMID! Actually humid is an understatement...HOT and MUGGY seems to be a more appropriate description! The sun was trying to peek through the clouds at the beginning of our shoot, but by the end the dark clouds prevailed. (Though Sunday afternoon was gorgeous, so we hit the lake!)

Our original plan was to take some shots downtown then head to the marina to get some shots by the lake. BUT due to the increasing cloud cover, we postponed the lake shots. So stay tuned for those! Here are a few from Sunday morning...more to come...

Humidity finally got the best of my hair in this one!

Rainy Tuesday...who couldn't use a laugh?!?!

One of my co-workers sent me this youtube video a few minutes ago. It's so funny...I had to watch it twice! It's from the show 'Operation Repo' on TruTV. Cory and I have watched a few episodes. You can always depend on this show for a good chuckle. You never know what stunts people will pull when these big guys try to repo their cars!

Mouth = WATERING!

So now that I'm blogging for 21 different blogs 3x a week...I see lots of great blog content. Though after I've written 21 blogs, I find myself neglecting my own personal blog - but NOT today! I surfed the world wide web for a yummy spring recipe...and what do I find??? -this awesomeness! I present to you Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs! I kind you not, my mouth is watering! I think I might make this for a shower I'm hosting next month.

Ingredients

• 12 medium fresh strawberries stems removed, if desired


• 12 doughnut holes


• 6 (8 inch) wooden skewers


• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


• 2 teaspoons margarine


• 1/4 cup white vanilla chip


• 2 teaspoons margarine

Directions

1. Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Alternately thread 2 strawberries and 2 doughnut holes on each skewer.


2. Note: You can also use the microwave for the following steps to melt the chocolate/margarine, but use lower heat and watch carefully to avoid burning. Probably only need to microwave about 1 minute or less and check throughout, stopping when just melted.


3. In small saucepan, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons margarine; melt over low heat, stirring until smooth and well blended. Drizzle chocolate mixture over kabobs.


4. In another small saucepan, combine vanilla chips and remaining 2 teaspons margarine; melt over low heat, stirring until smooth and well blended. Drizzle over kabobs and semi-sweet chocolate.


5. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until set.

Today...in pictures...

I can only describe how I feel today with this...

Heeeey!!!!!!!!!!

I promise not to use youtube videos for every blog post...but this was just too funny to pass up!
