What A Weekend!

Oh MY!

well there are a few new happenings that have recently developed this month:

1. I am moving!
To ATLANTA!
I have decided to start school at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts School. 10 months and I shall be a certified pastry chef! I love baking, I love cooking, I love creating and making little things for people to enjoy. My passion is to create and I hope that through this program I will be able to share something special with people.

2. I am ENGAGED!!!





COURSE ONE FOR BREAKFAST IN BED: AN ENGAGEMENT RING!

YYEAHHH!!!!



oh my...it was an ENGAGING weekend indeed.

I cannot explain how much I am in love with Charles James Elmore III.

Apologies for the delay. Life has been happening at rapid speed. However, on my second trip to GA Charlie and I stopped in Atlanta for a couple of hours.

I found this as inspiration:

and more hiking, getting rained on, running down the mountain trail trying not to get our cameras wet and then freezing our butts off when we stopped.

lovely sunday

today was a great sunday.
for the first time in a long time i was relaxed. there was no thinking of other things, no wanting to be somewhere else, no pointless conversation.

just good food (see tasty goodness below). good company (see handsome boy below), and happiness in the air.


so our meal was an all day affair.
we went to the farmers market to pick out the gorgeous vegetables and fruit (which we never ended up grilling due to the overabundance of dinner).

the theme for tonight:

simple pure vegetables
with a whole lot of dips =
hummus, sun-dried tomato hummus, feta and spinach hummus, spinach and feta cottage cheese, sun-dried tomato cottage cheese, cool creamy cucumbery dip, cottage cheese & greek yogurt dip, tangy zippy mustard dip, cranberry tangy zippy mustard dip.





today was a fantastic day. :)

my heart is happy.
