Hello February!

Hello February! I am rather excited that the month of January is over. January this year felt particularly long and drawn-out. I am excited for Valentine’s Day and hopefully to go on another adventure. I would love to visit Castine (Valentine’s date perhaps?) I will also be visiting my family again mid-March! Plus it means the coldest month of the year is out of the way!

The last few weeks of January were filled with work and school. I have been eyes deep in reading and Christopher has been working quite often. For those of you who do not know, this was my first month working at Staples. I started out as a cashier and have now moved on over to Copy and Print Center.

Christopher and I experimented with some new recipes such as Beef and Barley Stew, Mongolian Beef, and Homemade Gyros. I think I have finally perfected the Mongolian beef recipe so I shall post that one soon. I am still tinkering with the Beef and Barley Stew and Homemade Gyros. Christopher also made this fantastic French Toast from leftover Italian bread. Seriously, it was so good. 

Monday was a particularly rough day for me. I was not feeling well and had a rough shift at work. This fabulously ridiculous card arrived in the mail and made me crack up. I love my best friend. 

   

Then on Wednesday Christopher brought me these lovely flowers! I am quite spoiled.

Now for some big news! Christopher and I are officially getting married this summer! We are still fixing a date but it will either be August 10^th or 17^th. Mark it in your calendars! We are incredibly excited to begin this next leg in our journey and cannot wait to get planning.
