Husband Wisdom

As I'm feeling super confident in my new casual t-shirt from the gap outlet . .
Joe: "hey is that a new shirt? Who's money did you buy that with?"
Sooz: "ya, dont you like it? It was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up"
Joe: "the best deal would be not buying it!"

My husband is so wise! haha.

Keep your fingers crossed. . .


Our wedding photographer recently contacted me with great news! She has submitted our wedding photos to bride and bloom magazine to hopefully be published! Apparently, a staff member from Bride and Bloom reads Sarah's blog, saw our wedding photos and contacted Sarah to have her submit them for publishing. From my understanding the photos will need to go through a couple of 'tests' before they are deemed publish worthy. . .so while there are no guarantees we are still really excited. Keep your fingers crossed, it would be very cool for all the vendors (minus a certain difficult hotel) to be recognized :)

Breadscapades!

After four tries I have finally figured out the secret to good bread. . one must use the beer bread recipe! haha. I thought I would try this recipe because it seemed to make sense to put some beer in bread, I thought it would add flavor and some great texture and it did! I was so happy! Im definately going to stick with using this recipe, the others were a little bland. And I promise I will stop posting on lame loafs and vow now to only post my about my breadscapades when I make something cool, maybe like a rosemary olive bread, or some sourdough or something. On to bigger and better things I say now that I got the "white" bread recipe down.

The perfection rising

Good bread make husband happy :)

The thought of carbs make husband crazy!

mmm tasty. . come visit and Ill make you some!

1 Month

Joe and I celebrated our one month on Wednesday! I cant believe we made it! haha. JK!!! No but really, my husband is soo sweet. He had to go to open gym that night so when I got home he wasnt home, but look at what i found waiting for me!

To celebrate we got a tri-tip from Costco. . since I knew Joe wouldn't be home until later I decided to start the bbq. I haveto admit, I know nothing about bbq and it is obvious because this is how the meat turned out! A little charred but suprisingly still super tasty :) Costco is the best I swear!


Joe bbqing like a pro. . fixing my little mistakes!

Happy one month!

BreadScapades!



My bread making is not going tooo well! Well actually it was until Joe got home. . . I decided to make the "whole wheat" bread recipe and it was going so superbly. . . then Joe decided to lift the lid and "smoosh" the bread down while it was rising! WHY? I have no clue, ask Joe. I guess the perfect fluffiness was too much temptation for his little fingers to handle! haha. Understandibly, after Joe decided to smoosh it, it did not turn out how it should have. As you can see it was a little short which made is spongy. I had no clue how crazy bread making was. I will try again and Joe will not be allowed to come within a yard of it! hah.

Brothers


I am so lucky i grew up with brothers! On numerous occasions I found this awaiting me in the middle of the night, Im so glad I know to check before I go! I love you husband. . . and thank-you John and Scott, I appreciate life's little lessons so much more now ;)

I am

For one of my classes we were asked compose an "I am" poem and share it with the class. Although nervous to do so, I decided to post it here. I figured if I can share this much of myself with my classmates then I can share this much with my family and closest friends. I know it may be random and a little deep for our light hearted blog but I really like the way it turned out :) Its amazing how this little exercise helps you capture yourself, try it yourself, it is quite interesting.

I am-
I am a newlywed trying to be a great wife
I am navigating my way through life after sports
I am a former volleyball player learning to let go
I notice when people stare at my height
I get annoyed when people stare and pretend that they aren’t
I am a passion for planning, organizing, and details
I am a baker learning to cook
I am a curious deep thinker
I am random thoughts not afraid to ask questions
I am timid in large group settings
I am Christian who is not afraid to question
I am a sister, an aunt, a daughter, and a friend.
I am a potter with no clay
I am anxious yet relaxed, easy-going but high-strung, outgoing but nervous
I wonder how what I am affects my husband.
I am sincere compassion for others
I am learning not to sweat the small stuff
