you are my sunshine





Its been a little bit of a whirlwind lately, but I'm just going to keep my head up and smile. Oh and this sunshine print from Etsy would make a fabulous birthday gift for someone (wink, wink).

all i really want







What a wonderful weekend we had visiting with Jonathan's Aunt and Uncle in from California. They gave us the most beautiful pair of crystal candlesticks - I love them!

For everyone that asked for the spinach artichoke dip I made here it is:
2 cups of shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup of grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
3 garlic cloves, crushed
14 oz jar or artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 8oz blocks of cream cheese, softened
1/2 package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
Tortilla chips or crackers or french bread sliced

Preheat oven to 350. Combine 1-1/5 cups of mozzarella cheese, sour cream, 2 tablespoons Parmesan and next five ingredients in a large bowl and stir until well-blended (I use my KitchenAid mixer and it works flawlessly on speed 2 for a couple of minutes). Spoon mixture into a 1-1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers or french bread sliced.

the day i married the love of my life













Three years ago from yesterday I married the love of my life. What an amazing life we have created together. He's the most wonderful man in the world and I'm so in love with him.

Thanks Mom and Dad for giving me such a beautiful wedding.

Not feeling too well. Hoping the infamous sinus infection goes away in time for me and my hubby to celebrate our anniversary this weekend.
