a few of my favorite things as of lately

1) this boy puts the biggest smile on my face.
I even like it when he brings home duck from hunting for me to make duck tacos. haha.
Although, he's winning over everyone's heart a little too quickly.
My mom told me the other day, "well we love Andy as much as we love you so he's welcome anytime"
My reply, "Wait I thought I had 19 extra years on him, doesn't that count for anything"?
Apparantly quality over quantity and he is one quality guy.



2) insanity. andy's roommate sergio got this to get ready for the CHP and we all hopped on board. If you are looking to DIE this work out is for you. 50 minutes of THE most intense workout of your life. What claims to be the hardest workout dvd definitely delivers. From the same producers of P-90X, insanity focuses on cardio along with muscle toning. Don't say I didn't warn you... ( : youtube it here Or contact me and jump on board. Andy, Brian, Sergio and I do it in Andy's garage/aka gym.



3) career switch. So after thinking about dental hygiene for a very long time and nursing for an even longer time I've decided that I'm going to NURSING SCHOOL. I'm going to join the masses of these crazies.



Good news is that the nursing pre-reqs are the same for dental hygiene so I'm still on track. I feel like it will be a better fit and a little bit more creativity needed. I am seriously excited about it. I was apprehensive about being able to get into a school since it's extremely competitive, but where there's a will there's a way... right? I most likely will end up going to an accelerated program bypassing all the lottery admissions .

4) homemade pizza.
trader joes whole wheat pizza dough + sauce + tomatoes + a little bit of cheese + lean canadian bacon + pineapple = DELICIOUS.
the dough that is supposed to make one pizza, we get two with a little creative stretching and it's only around $1!!
Andy and I are sort of obsessed.
Who says pizza cant be healthy?
When you make it yourself you can take out all the grease and replace it with your favorite veggies/fruit.



5) the holidays are around the corner.
Andy & I the other day made #4 on the list and then watched elf in celebration of Christmas approaching.
I can't wait for breaks from school and work and a little Christmas spirit.
Turkey day will also be quite exciting with TWO dinners this year.
I will DEFINITELY be doubling up on insanity workouts : )



Oh, did I mention that my sister and her little troublemaker will be making their way West? haha oh little wyatt, 9 months and walking.



Not to mention the traditional Christmas tree lane stroll with a hunky hand in mine.





oh life is good.
