Do you listen to pandora during they day? I tend to listen to it while I’m working out or working on blog stuff.
When I’m in the car I usually listen to KSBJ which is our local Christian radio station because I have another little human passenger in the car with me. Just like with movies I want to protect his little mind for as long as I can so I choose to listen to Christian radio because it’s clean. I will say though, my heart melts when he starts belting out the words to the worship songs and raising his hands in the back seat. #proudmomma

Believe it or not this dish was part of our anniversary dinner Tuesday night. Mike and I just celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary, which is crazy. How have I been married almost ten years!
I can still remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. Standing outside the door with my dad, waiting to walk down the aisle and up to Mike. I just looked at my dad, squeezed his arm and said, “I’m so nervous.” He looked at me tenderly and more calm than I’d ever seen him and said, “You look beautiful sweetpea… let’s go get him.” He smiled and the doors opened. The whole night was a blur, it went by so fast. Before we new it my mom surprised us with fireworks over the lake and then we were off… as husband and wife.

A creamy slightly sweet Homemade Espresso Chocolate Chip Ice Cream made with coconut milk and honey, three words – pass a spoon!
When Mike and I first got married we went through some “stuff” like most people do their first year of marriage. Except unfortunately, most of the “stuff” we were going through was MY “stuff.” *sigh*
I was petrified that Mike was going to one day decide that I was not good enough for him, he was going to find some other girl, and leave me. Every time he would talk to a girl, speak of a girl, or even look at a girl I thought it was because he was looking at the other “options” out there. No matter what he said to me, how many times he told me he loved me or reasoned with me logically it would not sink into my head that he was not going to leave. That when he said “I do” to me on our wedding day he meant it, there was no other option. I am the only option.

So this week was my first official week working with my husbands company.
They needed a little help in their HR department as well as in their Accounts Payable and luckily I have experience in both so it was the perfect fit for just a couple hours a week. On top of the HR & AP responsiblities I will be helping with the SEO side of things for their online business.
