april was for...

a new car!! our first, BIG, adult purchase as a two-some… a Chevy Cruze. It’s sweet and has great gas mileage (driving over 100 miles a day takes a serious toll ppl!). on second thought, that long drive is probably the only reason i get to drive the new car! name of new car undetermined. true confession: one of my favorite things to do in the whole wide world is pick up sticks....

march 2012

March was for… strange, August like weather. thanks for the flowers mrg :-) an awesome weekend in Chicago with the KD Ladies. no pictures, not sure why? must be due to the endless laughter, stories, games, sangria. friends are pure joy, especially when you can sing songs together and hold hands and it’s fine. aot. St Patty’s day! no caption required mrg’s...

wedding of a sister in law

one of mrg’s sisters got married at the end of February. We got to take a 4 day vacay to Islamorada, FL, a sexy, nice island in the FLorida Keys. The weather was awesome, obviously better than MI at the end of Feb. The beach wedding was lovely and lots of fun with a poolside reception, dancing, and a bridal party pool jump to cap the night! rehearsal dinner on the beach pretty...

cooking up a storm

as some of you know, I love to cook and bake. I am not a creator of recipes, but I do love to find a good one and give it a try. Obviously MRG has no objections :-) thought I would share two of my faves from the month of February. for the Super Bowl we had ribs and potatoes. super easy and oh. so. good. “healthy” pesto pizza (no link as lots of my recipes come from magazines or...

little somethings

instead of going to the gym with mr.g, here I am doing something I truly enjoy- blogging and stalking facebook and stumble-ing. not very good for the physique, but my true inner fat kid is reveling in the fun! i haven’t posted anything meaningful in a while, not that that is necessary, but I thought I’d provide a few highlights of life 1. i finally asked my wonderful photographers...

It’s funny when you go to move you realize all the stuff you have accumulated and by doing so now cannot live without. It’s an American problem really, not just my own. However, believe it or not, I did do a nice job purging some of my most prized possessions… those of which had not seen the light of day in a few years. Here comes problem numero dos, moving in with someone who...

paradise

Paradise is Hawaii. no doubt about it. I was lucky and got to spend 2 weeks there with my new husband (eeks, that’s still a weird one to say) I thought I’d give you some of the highlights… view from the condo… we had an amazing balcony. if you look close you can see the island coming up from the water into the clouds on the other side at the top of a mountain. It was...

sweet love

what a wonderful evening we had with our photographers, Turtle Pond. we took engagement pics in the fall before all this snow and ice covered the world. mrg and i had fun tromping around the woods and cornfield at my house. it was one of those perfect fall evenings, crisp, cool, weather where sweaters are a must, yummy lighting, and a stunning sunset. coupled with the sweetest, most wonderful guy...

did you all know that my computer up and quit a few weeks ago? well, it did. obviously it didn’t take into account that i neither have the time or funding to deal with getting a new computer. alas. so that is excuse #1 why i haven’t been blogging for what seems like months! There are a multitude of other excuses… but I will save you from that and tell you about something much...
