Home for the Holidays

Nick and I got to go to Arkansas for Christmas this year!!! We had such a fun time with family and getting to visit the people Nick taught on his mission. It was a great trip... but now back to school!!

Went to see Mamaw during the holiday!

Pinterest to the Rescue!!

So lots of people have the theory that Pinterest is a time waster and that is doesn't provide any useful things... I completely disagree.

To me, Pinterest is

-Teaching me new skills

-Adding to my recipe stash

-Helping me dress better

-Boosting my photography knowledge

AND

-Completed my wedding planning process.

Nick and I needed a breakfast recipe yesterday.... and Pinterest came to our rescue.

We made a low carb-low fat breakfast pizza and LOVED IT!! I think next time we will try the crust out of biscuits for a more fluffy texture, but overall it was a huge success, thus only solidifying my love and PRO Pinterest thoughts =)

Breakfast Pizza Recipe!!

give it a go!

IN YOUR FACE!

Well.. my dear friends...

My lovely fiance decided that it would be a funny little joke to do this on Thanksgiving...

(apparently this is something that people do... hahah. Didn't know it really happened.)

He asked me so nicely, "Madison, does this whip cream smell sour??" And I so happily stuck my face down next to it to take a whiff.... and ended up with pie-filled-nostrils!! =) This however was a good experience for me.. I will be the first to admit that I need to loosen up sometimes!!

Wife'N it Up!!!

So Tuesday was the first day of my Wifey-ness kicking in. Nick called and told me he wasnt feeling well, so I decided to go down to Bountiful and baby him... (so nice right?! haha)

But turns out he really was super duper sick!!!!

Long story short-- His doctor gave him medicine for High Bloop Pressure (which he doesnt have) but it can also be a preventative medicine for renal failure (also which he has no signs of)... and it dropped his BP so low that he was non functional.

--Hard to breath, difficult to walk, fever, chills, dizzy like crazy... NO BUENO!!!

We went to the ER at 12:30am and stayed till about 3:00am and then just took it easy the next day. Thankfully, he is off the medicine and is feeling much better!!! It was the first of many experiences I will have has a wife (even though I'm not quite yet to that title haha) And I can't WAIT!!!! <3

The Pocket Foundation

Hello to my lovely friends and family!!! I did better this time at posting in a reasonable amount of time. =)

This is a special post that is focused on Cole Larson, one of my new nephew's. A foundation has been set up in Cole's memory that is geared toward helping the underprivileged. Cole loved helping others and always wanted to make sure everyone had what they needed. The Pocket Foundation is a foundation that collects necessities such as coats, hats, shoes, school supplies, etc. for children in need.

For those of you who like to donate or help out the less fortunate during the holiday season, The Pocket Foundation would be a great way for you to do so.
