4 years?

Yes, 4 years of marriage today! I am so lucky and blessed to be married to my best friend and such a wonderful man. He truly compliments me in every way. Things have not always been easy, but we make a great team.

We spent the day today having a picnic on the lake and walking trails, we then stopped at a local bakery and picked up some yummy sweets for tonight's dessert and we are now heading off to dinner.

I love you hubs! Thank you for making everyday with you special. I am looking forward to many more years of memories and love.

I made this yummy meal Sunday afternoon! It consists of Edamame, baby portobellos, chicken and ramen noodles. Instead of using the "msg laden packet" that accompanies the ramen noodles I made my own soup base. I used fresh garlic and onion, a cup of water and a cup of chicken broth, cumin powder, sesame oil and soy sauce. It was so good!

This is my crazy cucumber! All of my cucumbers are growing such odd shapes, but they taste amazing. I am really happy with our garden this year. So far I have had several cucumbers, tons of cherry tomatoes and lots of banana peppers!
