A New Year

This year has been busy busy busy. Last New Years I created my one year plan. In that year I wanted to get married to the love of my life and build a house. We did it!! It has been a crazy whirlwind of happiness and stress. We closed on our land in January and a year later we are still finishing things up.

My other goal for last year was to run more. Well that didn't really happen. I didn't do as much running or working out this year. No weight gain though. I plan to pick those back up this year.  Signing up to run the little rock half marathon. I wanted to do the full with a couple of friends, but since I didn't run my two halves in December I decided I wouldn't be ready. I want that 26.2 sticker damn it! Maybe I can run the full St. Jude come December.

 Reading more books is also on my goal list.  (There hasn't been any free time for reading this past year.) Books for enjoyment and professional growth.

We had a very low key New Year's Eve this year at home. We grilled a wonderful steak and bought a bottle of champagne. Neither of us stayed wake until midnight. Oh Well. We had Champagne for breakfast!

Hope you have a wonderful 2014! I can't wait to see what's in store for us. Baby talk is in the air. 

The serious one.
The silly one.
My babies (for now).

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Inspired by Pinterest

I've been wanting to try these Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups I found on Pinterest. Since Kev's been working out of town, I figured it would be a great dish for this week. I could keep some and he could take the rest with him. (I also made Mexican Cornbread too.) Eating out every meal gets old. Anyways. Here is the original recipe. I changed it up some. I mixed together 15 oz. ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, thawed frozen spinach (squeeze water out of it), and chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken). Seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning. I never measure, just add a palmful until it tastes like I want it to.  Mixture I grabbed a handful of the mixture and spread it onto the noodle and rolled it up. Leave a little space at the end so the mixture doesn't gush out when you roll it up. Once all of them are made, I poured the  tomato sauce  I made yesterday over them. I added a little water to my sauce to thin it o...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!
