My First Blog...

The past couple of days I have been consumed with reading other people's blogs so I figured the only way to break my habit was to create one myself.

Surely I have something to say that my family and friends would be interested to read, right? I have to say this is so familiar, it feels as if I am talking to myself!

I guess the only way to do this is just to dive in head first.
I'll start by giving some shout outs...Ashlei - Happy Birthday yesterday. Mary Ashley - Happy Birthday last week. Kiersten - Happy Birthday next week.

Lately I have really made an effort to try some new recipes. I get them all from Real Simple magazine (which I love). Last night I tried a recipe consisting of tomato soup (barely warm) filled with fresh tomato, avocado, red onion and topped with grated parmesan cheese and garlic bread. I tell you...it was good! As you most know, my friend Nicole is my culinary compass and I really strive to please her with my creativity (it's true Nicole). Cooking for her is so natural. She just knows what should go together and that extra "something" that makes a meal perfect.

I want to congratulate our friends Leslie & Jeff and Trevin & Kelly on their engagements! We are so excited to be a part of both of your weddings in the near future.

Ok, I got the first one over with. I will be back when something funny or weird happens, shouldn't be too long.
