Exterior

We bought a house!

Over the summer we decided to move back to the Rice area and managed to locate a "bomb" of a house that we couldn't resist.

Swarming

So tonight when Chris arrived home from work he was greeted by thousands of swarming termites. Gross. We were afraid this might happen but thought we had more time. Well time was of the essence and we didn't make it. We have just spent the past 4 hours vacuuming up termites - arms, bodies, wings, etc. It has been a tragic experience.

Super Bowl Spread

7 Layer Dip for Chris

Happy Valentine's Day!

First time making Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting!

Happy Birthday Chris!

After much debate and debacle, Chris decided on the Flourless Chocolate Cake with Espresso Glaze. It was delicious! I would say that it took me about 30 minutes to prep and 40 minutes to bake. You must make the espresso glaze for it to be delicious otherwise I think it might taste a little dry.

Holidays

Once the holidays arrive, days become packed full of chores, activities, parties, events, etc! Remember that you should get between 30-60 minutes of physical activity every day! Make sure to schedule some time for you to exercise. Break it up into 10-15 minute intervals. Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier than normal and wake up to some squats, sit-ups, and push-ups. At lunch, take a walk around your building. Before dinner, go for a walk with your family! Small steps are the way to go!
