a little bit of life...

Sorry for the lack of blogging since the wedding but we dont have internet at our casa so whenever we do go somewhere to go online blogging is pretty much the last thing i think of. So since it has been so long here is a little update of the married life...

for our one month anniversary we saved a piece of our cheesecake from the wedding...so tasty even after being in the freezer for a month! :)


Since we live right down the street from rite aid our weakness is thrifty ice cream! what can i say it is amazing...


Ever since fall started and especially since the weather has been nice and chilly I've been craving my favorite pumpkin cookies so I finally got around to making some! and let me tell you they are just as delicious as i remember.


this last sunday we got the chance to go to a 49ers game! It was very fun (well after the rain let up and i wasnt freezing and wet anymore :)) and they won which of course made it that much better! Our seats were only about 7 rows back from the field on the 30yrd line so it was awesome!

p.s. sorry about the bad quality photos my camera battery died and i cant find the charger so for now its all cell phone pictures

Our little date day.

Last tuesday we both had the day off work so we made it a fun little day of getting somethings done. We filled out some applications for appartments that we've been looking into, we picked out Brandon's tux for the wedding (he's gonna look so handsome), walked around slo for a bit, then went out to eat!

perfect start to a wonderful day is Coffee and Company (we love you Candice!)


Brandon's burger was huge!


In the way of wedding plans they've been coming together so smoothly. Me and my mom went to michaels the other day and stocked up on wedding decorations. Also I found what were going to put our unity candle in! In the mail the other day I got part of the center pieces for the tables. And then on tuesday I have my dress fitting! This has been the most non-stressful wedding planing I am so blessed.

Since Brandon hates pictures and wouldn't show of his shades with me here are my new blingin' shades...there kind of amazing. :)



54days and I'll be Mrs. Rodriguez!

baking.

The other day me and my mom were shopping and came across the most amazing cookbook I've probably ever seen. It's a frame by frame cookbook and its full of beautiful pictures and lots of delicious looking food!



So I tried out one of the recipes tonight and let me tell you it was even more delicious then I expected.

Sponge Layer Cake.





I love baking.

Grandma Marsha

On tuesday Brandon took me over to his Grandma Marsha's house because he was taking out the tinting in her car windows and as payment for him asked his grandma if she would give me some fabric for wedding stuff etc. So we went over and while he worked hard me and grandma went through her (millions) of tubs of fabric. It was so fun!

this is all the fabric i got for now she kept asking if i wanted more but i think this will keep me busy for awhile :)


some of my favorites she had a tub of 30's fabric which i pretty much could have taken the entire tub it was so adorable...


and then my favorite two! I love the yellow one and will have to pick out something special to use it for at my wedding. The deer one...no idea what I'll use it for but it was way to cute to not get!


Then she had a basket full of ribbon she said she never uses so she just grabbed a bag and dumped it in there for me...I love ribbon on everything so that will be so fun...


I am so excited about it all and I cannot wait to get started on projects!

refugio

Normal life went on pause over the last couple days when I went camping with my family in refugio. I think everyone needs to take time out to go get away from everything and have time to just relax without the tv on or your ipod. Its so refreshing and I've come home ready to take on everything with a fresh mindset. It felt amazing to not think about work or think about whats next with wedding planing but just sit back and relax and spend quality time with my family.

heres a little peek into our days...

food

i guess you'd say that food isnt really a wedding topic unless you want to call it perfecting my cooking skill, although i'm not sure Brandon wants me to perfect my healthy cooking skill like i have been :) lately I've been on a cauliflower kick.
i have always wanted to try these mashed "potatoes" i've heard about where instead of potatoes you use cauliflower, and let me tell you they are delicious, well i had extra cauliflower to use so i got adventures looking at recipes on the internet and i came up with something crazy.
cauliflower pizza.
and you know what...it was quite yummy actually. the crust is just 2 cups of steamed cauliflower, 2 cups of cheese, and 2 eggs. you can hardly taste the cauliflower in the crust. its definitely a different consistency so i had to eat it with a fork but not bad. i think if you made it a veggie pizza you wouldn't even notice a different taste at all.


right out of the oven before the toppings go on...


yumm... :)

Well hello there,

I decided that since I've had my last blog since 2004 it was time for a fresh start... And with the wedding date soon approaching (93days and counting!) my days here are filled with crafting and planing!
So if you'd like to join me on this little adventure I've set out on I'm gonna try my best to keep this blog updated about how all the wedding plans are coming and what crafts were working on and we'll just life in general here with me and Brandon. : )

love,
