Sneaky Meatballs

Do you see this handsome man? Among his more endearing qualities is the fact that he willingly and without complaint eats everything that I put infront of him. I heartily enjoy cooking but I am still getting the hang of it. The poor guy has suffered through burnt, dry, and "too spicy" food in the past year but he has never once complained and is always grateful. I don't tell him this often enough but I really appreciate it that he is so patient in that area, especially since I usually serve him much healthier food than he wants to eat. I've been mostly vegetarian (an explanation for another time) for about a year and a half now and more often than not that's what I cook. Every once in a while I'll throw in some meat stuff but honestly I'm really not good at cooking it. My favorites are when I pretend to serve him meat and are really just vegan alternatives. Usually I don't bother but I think it makes him feel better. Tonight I definitely fed him vegan "meatballs" and he didn't even notice that they weren't real meat. Usually I point it out so that he realizes that I pulled one over on him once he has already decided that he enjoyed them but tonight I decided not to. He did request that I make them again so I think that I will probably just keep making them and spring it on him eventually. I'll get to him eventually and turn him into a veggie. Well. Okay, maybe not completely but every little bit counts.

On a semi related note, I've been really lazy with my health lately but I really want to make a change. This isn't the first time I've felt like this but I don't have any way to keep myself accountable. I think that is how I am going to use this blog. As an accountability partner for my life. We'll see how it goes.

3 Week Update

Hey Everyone!
I can't believe it has already been three weeks since the wedding. Life is returning to normalcy and we are adjusting to being able to enjoy things other than wedding planning.
I intended to post sooner but I'm not sure in which direction I want to take this blog. I'm getting really into health, fitness, and cooking but I'm no expert and don't particularly want to embarrass myself. Anthony and I are also on the verge of some life pretty big life changes but I also haven't decided how much I want to share... I mean, not that anyone actually reads this besides myself.... but still. So my goal is to post  more and more and at some point this week figure out what direction I want this to take.
In the meantime we have been basking in the post wedding bliss.
The wedding was amazing and we had a great time. Everything came out even better than we had hoped and having everyone we love in one place was truly a blessing. At some point I think I'm going to have to talk about all of the details of the wedding because it was just so personal and DIY.

Isn't my new husband just INCREDIBLY handsome?! I sure think so. Also, can we just talk about my dress for a second? How gorgeous, right? I felt so beautiful and special and I'm so thankful that I got to experience feeling like the perfect bride (notably a feeling that I never wanted or expected to have).

And that flower crown. It was like a dream. Everything just turned out so much better than I could have  imagined and I am so thankful to everyone who pitched in and supported and loved us through the whole process. We were constantly blown away by everyone's generosity and creativity. A special thank you to the hot blonde in the above and below pictures. Without her nothing would have run nearly as smoothly. I am eternally grateful to all of my girls but this one in particular is a true mastermind and I'm fairly certain I would not have been able to make it through this process without her.

Well, as I said, I'm really excited about the direction that our lives are going in and I can't wait to share as we try to figure it all out.
