♥ 365 Days….
365 days ago I walked down the aisle to marry my dream man…..and wow, has the time flown by!! This is a HUGE thank-you to my man for being so patient and loving with me for the past year. Thank-you for always loving my supper and eating everything I made this year! Thank-you for always cleaning up after I make supper (MAJOR points!!) Thank-you for painting me a pink room and giving that room to me to use for a closet. Thank-you for turning the volume down when I go to bed at 10pm….orrr 9:30pm….orrr 9:00pm. Thank-you for letting me decorate with candy and cupcakes. Thank-you for believing in me. Thank-you for encouraging me to make my dreams realities. Thank-you for loving me 🙂
Those of you who know me know i’m the farthest thing from domestic….and my Facebook friends may recall some of my triumphs as a self proclaimed “undomestic goddess”: my first casserole, my pink Christmas tree, my first apron (it was pink, of course), my flower pots (that my sister planted for me and I forgot to water, so I guess that wasn’t really a triumph). I still have lots of room for improvement in this category….and I’ve set some “domestic goals” for our second year of marriage….yes, I set goals, it’s the figure skater in me, I will forever set goals!
Operation: Domestication of Becky: Year 2 Goals
- Bake more stuff – I only baked three times this past year….a cake (from a mix), sugar cookies and peanut butter cookies. I’d probably bake more if I worked less, so i’m going to try and manage my schedule a little better this year too! Specific things I’m going to bake this year: Cinnamon buns, lots of cookies (cuz Chris loves cookies), my moms famous chewy brownies and fancy sugar cookies for every major holiday!
- Make lasagna – I was all about the 3 ingredient Campbell’s recipe’s this year….I was way more successful than I thought I’d be, but i’m gonna step it up this year 🙂
- Grocery shop more – I HATE grocery shopping, I’ve hated it since the moment I moved out at 18 and I always leave it till the last possible moment, so I’m going to try and change that this year…..or convince Chris he should do the grocery shopping.Lol.
- Clean up that pink room Chris painted me.
Here’s to year two babe! Love you!!!

This made me smile. I must admit you surprised me many times this year. Proud of you sissy. Cinnamon buns?! Whoa I think I only attempted those on year 8. I can also give you a really simple lasagna. 🙂

I am right there with you in being partially undomestic! However I am so lucky to be living with a CHEF! Sadly it makes it harder to actually try to cook at all. But baking I can do! I make cookies all the time – if you want any fun easy recipes, let me know!
