goodbye two thousand ten.

what a year, what a year.  i turned 23 {and got the best gift ever...a snuggie}, went on a fabulous vacation to oregon/washington with my isaac, celebrated 1 whole year of marriage bliss, graduated from nursing school and got my dream job as a pediatric nurse, and had a whole lot of fabulous food and laughs during the holiday season.  don't get me wrong, we've had our ups and downs...but i am truly happy.

i love this little blog --- thank you for reading it!  

happy new year!

see my 2009 recap here.

snow day.

it is a snowy mess here in the grand old state of utah.  a big blizzardy mess - at least it was last night...i haven't looked outside yet to see if it's still snowing.  i don't want to look because if it is still snowing it probably means my lunch at cafe zupas with some of my favorite friends will be canceled due to terrible driving conditions.  poop poop poop.  

i can't believe it's already december 30th!  i better make some new years plans real quick.  actually, i have made one plan and of course it involves eating delicious food.  i've been dying to head back to brunch at market street grill and i've already told husband it is a must on new years day.  i'm so excited.  as for new year's eve...i'm not quite sure.  anyone know anything fabulous going on in salt lake city?!  ha.  probably not, i'll have to get creative.

happy snow day my friends.

 i think this may be my last post about christmas.  sad huh.  i hate it when all the fun ends.  i don't even remember what i used to think/blog about before the holiday season began.  i guess i should start doing my new years resolutions.  i have some goals in mind that i'm very determined to complete.  like...exercising 3-4 times a week.  i have been sooo lazy lately and have been eating tons and tons of christmas treats...not a good combination.

have you started your new years resolutions?

p.s. i posted my recipe for homemade buttermilk syrup over on just cook already - you must go get the recipe, make it, and then tell me what you think...okay thanks!

scenes from a magical christmas.

christmas was truly lovely this year.  i survived my night shifts on christmas eve and christmas and had a fabulous few days {and exhausting - due to a lack of sleep} with my isaac and family.  we made a delicious christmas eve brunch complete with homemade buttermilk syrup, munched on candy cane cookies and peppermint cheesecake, gave and received many thoughtful gifts, feasted on christmas ham, and enjoyed our time with our loved ones.

 merry christmas from emma, isaac, and cricket!

happy christmas eve.

the little christmas dinner i had with my bffs was so much fun this year {we missed you kari & katie!}  we went downtown to eat at the delicious happy sumo and found some last minute gifties {a funny book for isaac and some mini cupcake ornaments for me...} at urban outfitters.  and of course we munched on my hand dipped chocolatey treats all night.  oh, and my sweet friends gave me the most thoughtful gifts.  i love christmas/bffs.

happy christmas eve!!  today is the anniversary of a very special day for me...the day isaac proposed!  it was just 2 years ago.  crazy how much i love that man.
