So today is the beginning of the end. All the wedding planning will sadly be over quite soon. But also the beginning of the beginning. We're almost a married couple! This might be the best thirty days (and some change) of my life!
So...since I've been a neglectful blogger...what have we been up to? I'll post a few pictures:
I cook and bake A LOT. Even though I really don't like them much, I love to make cupcakes. The first picture is a snickerdoodle cupcake...yum. The next two pictures were for my mom's and Dani's birthdays...ganache filled dark chocolate cupcake with a raspberry cream cheese frosting. I'm quite proud of that baby. Made it up all on my own! The next one is a grasshopper cupcake that I made for Mike's birthday. Especially delicious. And the last cupcake was a total flop for the racquetball bbq. I was trying to go for ASU colors so I made red velvet cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting dipped in yellow chocolate. K, well don't lie, they totally look like nipples, I know. Lovely. They tasted yummy though! And the last dessert pictured baking is chocolate caramel crackers. The finished product is the next picture. Salty sweet deliciousness. Oh wow yum. People didn't believe me when I told them they're made from Saltines (and some from Matzo crackers). Recipe here.
We're still Macayo's fanatics. We're regulars. They know us by name.
We recently went to see Les Miserables. Such a fantastic evening. I think I cried the whole second act!
Dan loves to eat his cereal out of massive soup bowls.
I made corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's for my gossip girls.
We went to Vegas!
We celebrated my best friend Lindsey's 23rd birthday with sushi and singing!
We play with our cat Butters and tease him from the ground. How precious is this photo?!
And more to come of what we've been up to!
