Happy Turkey Day!

mmmm Turkey!!!!! so yes I have turned into Susie Homemaker for the thanksgiving holiday. I am cooking dinner for 6 people today and I'm so excited about it. Last night I baked my Pumpkin pie ahead of time and today I'm making a maple whipped cream to go with it! Other things on the menu: green bean casserole, cheesy mashed potatos, sweet potatoes, cranberry compote, homemade biscuits, and of course THE TURKEY!!!!!! the turkey will be maple glazzed and stuffed w/ apple chestnut stuffing:) Nothing too tragic has happend so far except the fact that I broke my toe! no not in soccer or climbing...I was running to take my pie crust out of the oven and ran my foot straight into the metal part of my kitchen chairs and then proceeded to hoble in pain and knock it into the wall....There was no shortness in four letters words that is for sure!!!! Anyways, today is going to be awesome so HAPPY TURKEY DAY to everyone!!!!!

more wedding pics:)

Things to be excited about!

Lately I've been a little of a "negative nancy" (as Kelli would call it) so today I decided I was going to think of the good things and things to get excited about!

1. I tried on a pair of my old jeans, AND THEY FIT!
2. I started riding my bike to and from places that were too far to walk but a little too short to drive too
3. Thanksgiving is going to ROCK! I can't wait to cook all that food:)
4. I MADE energy bars yesterday from a recipe in my yoga magazine:) no more buying those cliff bars in the store!
5. I got my first blue route in climbing this past week and I'm almost done with another one:) (this means I can start climbing harder routes; which means I'm getting better)
6. I moved up a level in my yoga practice; I am now yogi shelby;)
7. I am slowly becoming a better cook and yes I'm now obsessed about the Food Network
8. I voted this week (in yet another red state) however, I felt as if it mattered this time b/c us blue people took over both the house and the senate; all we can hope for now is change for the good!
9. I got to swim with manatees which was one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had!
10. my new mantra: strength

Manatees!

Kelli, Zoe, Andy, and Lynn came to visit this weekend and we all went swimming with the manatees at Homosassa springs....this was one of the most amazing things I have ever done! It was so awesome to be in the water with these animals. The manatees were like big puppy dogs. They loved to have their backs scratched and then occasionaly they will turn over on their backs so you can rub their belly! As long as you kept petting them they would stay right by you. We even got to see a calf manatee and the mom. It was awesome to observe their behavior in the wild. After 2hrs of playing in the water we headed back with hot chocolate in hand:)
