Project Life 2013, Week 37

A little of this, a little of that. First spirit day of the school year (total success!), date night, cooler weather (ha!), and cuddling with my little Sophie. This was the week I caught up on grading, so I was pretty boring.

In context with the week before it. Hizzah!

Menu Planning Monday

Helloo....it's been awhile since I've posted something food-related. Tyson's been taking a review course, so I've been scrounging or eating out a lot lately. But I am turning it around this week!

Tonight I made Mexican-style meat in the slow cooker...with quite a few modifications. Super tasty and spicy! I don't think I've had a more flavorful pulled slow cooker meat (maybe ever??). We served it with basmati rice and some corn. Super easy!

Monday :: leftovers
Tuesday :: black bean tostada with cilantro sauce
Wednesday :: leftovers
Thursday :: meatloaf + zucchini

Okay...kind of lame-ish. But it is a vast improvement from past weeks! Baby steps, people...

Project Life 2013, Week 36

Just one page layout this week. I've been having trouble getting iPhoto to sync on my computer... #firstworldproblems

My week in a nutshell. I have been so exhausted, staying after school a little later than normal. I am hoping to institute a new policy of not staying after 4pm. We shall see...

Random Photo Wednesday

Last night I made lobster ravioli with a tomato cream sauce (there was steamed broccoli too, but it was a backup dancer, not the main event). Y'all. So good. We made happy plates. I cooked up the ravioli (thank you, Trader Joe's!) and made the sauce from this fabulous recipe. I will definitely be making this again, but halving (or quartering?) the sauce.

Project Life 2013, Week 35 (?)

I honestly don't know what week I am on anymore. I am pretty sure I skipped the week that I went back to school for professional development. And I kind of glossed over my birthday and thoughts on the first week back, but I think I will mention that in next week's page. I haven't really processed much about school and my birthday was pretty chill, so I am okay with that.

Woo woo! The main thing (besides going back to school) was JoJo's wedding!

Left side was a little Friday action...Tyson's elevator escapades, and me chilling a bit before driving up to San Antonio. And a Sarah's House marathon. Love that show!

Right side is mostly reception. I had to chronicle the shoes, and then just a few cute shots that makes me oh-so-happy I ran back for my phone after dinner Saturday night. Plus Sunday's solitary drive back to Katy. I may make a note to myself to add some text on top of the driving picture. The radio got all static-y at one point, so I pulled out some old mix CDs from college. I was loving it!

Hooray!

Happy Labor Day! This is probably my favorite holiday...because it means a three day weekend on my birthday! This weekend I celebrated my friend Joanna's nuptials. Everything was so beautiful (hello, Texas Hill Country) and I know everyone there had an awesome time.

Chilling in our excellent wedding footwear. So comfy!

First dance!

Loved the photobooth!

The flower girl was so adorable. She was photo bombing pretty much everyone! 

Bride and groom sing along hour was excellent as well. The bridesmaids sang some classic Spice Girls and the groomsmen sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Don't Stop Believin'." Loved it! Congrats to the blissful couple!!
