This weekend my husband and I are together. I cannot describe the feelings I have walking into the house we rented here together, where I do not live but where my things and my love are. My face hurts from smiling all because I get to see him and wrap my arms around him. I do not care where we are. We are together for now and I am in love. <3
Sharps
It was pure bliss to unearth my kitchen tools of the trade and slice smoothly through anything I wanted with my ultra sharp knives! YAY! #thingsyoumisswhileingradschool

our 4 year anniversary (Feb 13th), his birthday (Jan27th), Valentines Day (Febwhatever), and my 30th birthday (Feb18th) and just because we can.

Best candle ever!
The inside is really gooey and full of blueberries
Better than Box Chocolate and Blueberry Cake-
Duncan hines devils food cake mix
1/2 packet of cream cheese (NOT sour cream!)
4 eggs
2/3 c water
1/2 c oil
1/2 packet chocolate pudding
2 big boxes blueberries
Put it all in a food processor or mixer, it will be thicker than regular cake mix.
Bdake like the box says, until a knife pulls out clean.
It came out so dense that I did not need to chop the top puffy cake bit off!
Smother top of one with frosting, layer of blueberries, put other layer of cake on top, frost, blueberries.
It tastes like a big chewey brownie!
The more blueberries the better!!
