When I got engaged back in December, I was ready to take on everything that had to do with wedding planning. Even though at that time the wedding was over a year away, I was too excited (and too OCD) to wait. I believe we got back from our cruise and saw our first venue within the next few days. I…

Matt and I headed up north yesterday to explore Page, Arizona. It's something we've been wanting to do for quite awhile, mostly because Antelope Canyon is up there. We explored the canyon, which was surreal, headed to Horseshoe Bend, and ended the day at Lake Powell. I'll have a vlog up…

1. Girlfriends I love these gals so much! So supportive, loving, and funny! 2. Puppy play Charlie met Padme for the first time and they loved each other!
3. Sushi Enough said!

Come get ready for date night with me...and meet (awkard) Matt.

With Memorial Day approaching, this looks like the perfect dessert to serve at a family get-together or party. We will be having a party. Maybe I will whip this up!


Ingredients

For the crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pecans
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt

I love guacamole. Like sometimes I feel like I could be in a relationship with it. I would probably love it more that it loved me, so it would never work.

Anyways...

Pear and Pistachio Guacamole, anyone? Thanks, Food Network.

Can I be honest? I did say I was going to be more honest and candid on here, didn't I?

Being away from Matt has been f*cking hard. Like, really hard.

Which is strange because most of the tours he goes on I can handle life and being alone and managing our house and dogs just fine...after the fir…

1. New locks I sometimes get that spontaneous urge to change my hair, and then I do. So...now I'm a blondie. 2. Lip Scrub This stuff is BOMB. I got it from Abe's Market.



 3. Bridal Magazines Something about flipping through these pages and drinking coffee is so relaxing.

I need. I want. Why is Nasty Gal like a trap? You get stuck on there and realize you can't get out without purchasing anything.
