You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

What Year Do You Belong In?

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to write and say Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone ate lots of food. I sure did. Me and Justin enjoyed spending time with my family and Justin's sister and her husband. I was so glad to be able to be there with my brother and his family that I only get to see about once a year. He has the funnest family. Well, anyway, stay tuned for upcoming pictures and more exciting Thanksgiving stories.

Death to the Layers (The ongoing story of my hair)

Okay, so this may seem very vain of me but I'm going to talk about my hair for awhile so I can stop complaining to Justin about it. Ya, my hair was pretty long. It was probably down past my shoulders and it had a lot of layers in it that I was starting to get sick of. As I was looking at old pictures of myself I saw a picture that I really liked of myself in college.


I loved my hair back then. I loved how it looked without all of those layers and how thick it was. So I told Justin that picture was my goal for the future. I wanted my hair to look like that again. Well, one day last week I was looking in the mirror and just decided that the layers needed to go ASAP. Before I knew it was calling for a hair appointment for the next day. To make a long story short, I chopped off all of my hair just to get rid of those layers. I was pretty sad about it the next day. I wouldn't have been so sad but the lady that cut it only took 10 minutes to cut off six or so inches of hair. Doesn't that seem a bit quick for a hair cut? She also cut it crooked. Okay, so there's my complaints about it but after having this short hair for a week now I guess I am finally learning to like it. I just can't wait until it is past my shoulders again.

I hope all of the men out there that read this blog endured this post that was dedicated to my hair. :)

Finally, A New Post! YEAH!!

Okay, so I finally figured out what recipe I am going to do for my tag.

"Marie's Cheesecake"

Crust:
6-7 whole graham crackers
1/4 cup butter (melted)
Mix together then pat into a 9 in. pie pan or spring form pan.

Filling:
2- 8ox. cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon juice

Beat cream cheese and add the rest of the filling ingredients; beat until frothy. Pour into crust. Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until surface is no longer glossy. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or for best results overnight. Top with favorite cheesecake topping. (I like using chocolate fudge topping.)

This is the easiest, most inexpensive, and best tasting cheesecake I have ever made and I love to make it all of the time. It only takes about 15 minutes to mix everything together.

Girl's Night Out

Last Thursday, Jenny, her friend, Anna, and I went to a Tastes of Home Cooking School in Sierra Vista. We were hoping to win one of their door prizes. (It seemed like there was 50 million of them) But unfortunately we didn't win anything. We learned how to make 12 different dishes and they all looked really good. Maybe I'll try making one sometime. We had a really fun time!!


I really look like a picture hog in this one. Poor Jenny and Anna could hardly fit in there. :)
