First of all, I can't believe it's even almost time to think about our anniversary, but it's quickly approaching! We have been wanting to plan a small, inexpensive trip for our anniversary and while we have a couple of ideas, I would appreciate any input you have. This will be just a Thu/Fri-Sun trip and we will have about $300. These are the things we've considered:
1. Beach trip. We have a friend with a house at Holden Beach. We could stay there most likely, relax and have a nice dinner Saturday night.
2. Camping. Less money for lodging = more money for something like whitewater rafting or going to see Biltmore.
3. Carowinds/Busch Gardens for the day, stay somewhere inexpensive that night.
More ideas? Let me know!
Coming later this week: my new recipe book and why it makes me so happy :)

It's Your Long Lost Pal!
Clearly, I am terrible at updating my blog! But, I'm hoping to get a little better at it, so bear with me!
After Aaron and I got married in June, we moved into a little apartment (1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 closet, roughly 600 sq. ft.). On top of that, it's the handicapped unit, so where one would normally find cabinets and drawers (in the kitchen, under the sink in the bathroom) our apartment has access for a wheelchair. Anyway, the idea was live there for a couple of months until Aaron graduated in August, he would find a job, and we would move wherever that may be. It's now March, we just signed our third 5-month lease, and we're still living in the little apartment. Aaron did get a job just a couple weeks ago, but it's temporary. Well, during all this time that we've been hoping for a full-time job, we have left most of our things in boxes. There's no room for the stuff, plus we were thinking we would just have to pack it again. Our walls had no pictures, our windows had no curtains and our wedding gifts were kept safely in their packaging. This weekend, I decided to do a little bit of decorating. It doesn't seem like we're leaving any time soon, so we might as well make it look like someone lives there! So now, we finally have some pictures on the walls and some curtains! We still have wedding gifts in boxes, we still have plastic drawer sets in place of real cabinets and drawers, and we still have a whole corner in our living room dedicated to empty cardboard boxes that we hope to reuse when we move but it's better than it was.
In other good news, I'm pretty sure I will get to make my first official wedding cake next year! :) I've done a practice cake, which I've posted a photo of below, but it's only about half the size this cake will be. I'm super excited because I really want to turn this into a career one day!
