15 bean soup

...is what i made for dinner. meanwhile my husband gets to have chicken and dumplins at his mom's house. so while he is away and i am not able to spend every waking second staring at his handsome face (because we're newlyweds so clearly that takes up a good chunk of our time... clearly.) i decided, now is a great time to give a real update and not just paragraphs upon paragraphs of spiritual word/thought vomit. uh oh... i better get to the pictures, because a paragraph is forming as i type.

camp works girls! i don't know where hannah is.... these girls are supa fun though. and real sweet.

this is my sister. she is pretty. and christian royalty (you know... an intern at a church, leads a small group, has a leadership position at a christian camp, etc...) and i love her.

my mom came in town to visit me and the hubz and tammie and we ate at sonoma grill which is my favorite place in tyler. then we saw prince of persia. i liked it. have you seen it? it was less funny than i expected, but still good.

here we have the southern diva/gentleman tyler rogers. emily, tyler, and hannah came over and we all made dinner! menu: beef and veggie kabobs, strawberry spinach salad, twice baed potatoes, and ice cream cookie sandwiches. i am kind of bragging because that sounds like a very fun, grown up meal! it was yuuuuuum.

hair flowers!!! have to give credit to katy stone because i think we probably saw them the same time on another blog, but she made them first! then i did! there are many more to come. also  want to try these next.

FRED!!!!! this is a new addition to our home... we stole him from my parents. yes i know he looks bowlegged... he kind of is, but he is precious!!! he is a people person/dog, but not in the annoying "get-down-and-away-from-me" way. love him. he snores though. loud.

and my baby! (never thought i would say that about a dog...please don't judge me) jacob!!! which reminds me... twilight is coming out soon. i'm trying to decide if i care.

and lastly, i got to see THE kat stone for the first time since i'v been married! and maybe the last time before she leaves for the massive continent known as africa. check her out. i'll post her link again: kkstone.blogspot.com

BOOM.

okay yay! a real, live decently entertaining blog post! go me! and you (if there are any "you"s out there) for reading this! to keep you further invested and looking forward to stopping by again here are my

ideas for future blogs:

1. things that i have never used from our registry

2. explaining/defending why i suck at photo 365

3. finding a really funny youtube video and being the first to post about it

4. copy-cat-crafting and blogging about it. typical.

5. maybe being consistent and actually writing some?

okay bye!!
