I know I am supposed to tag 8 people...but I am super busy at work right now...I'll get on that later today.

Oh and I forgot to tell yall! One of the girls that went to the mountains with us tried snowboarding for the first time. She obviously fell alot and had a bunch of bumps and bruises. She had complained that her arm hurt. After work on Monday she went to the doctor and her arm is BROKEN! Ahhh...Not. Good.

Cupcake Giveaway!

Sweet Tea Diaries has an awesome giveaway going on!



How cute is all of this stuff? If I don't win I think I will be heading to Target to stock up on all of these adorable cupcake goodies! :)

On another note...last night me and the bf cooked some really yummy chicken. We dipped chicken breasts in egg, coated them in crunched up tortilla chips, and baked them! We topped them with cheese, sour cream, and salsa. Mmm Mmm Good!

One of the last things we are waiting on before closing on the house is the appraisal...which we will find out today! If the house is appraised at less than what we are paying then the contract will be void! BF is not nervous and actually hopes that it will be appraised at less...but I just want it to be appraised for more so that it will be a smoother ordeal! So I am nervous! I will let you know! Here is a picture of the house...isn't it adorable? I love it!



I hope that everyone is having an awesome Hump Day! We are almost over halfway to the weekend and I couldn't be more excited!

Parting Ways With My Next Paycheck...

Ummmm these may be the cutest dresses ever! A girl from Columbia, SC makes these dresses. She has become a big hit for Carolina Cup dresses and she also makes a lot of bridesmaids dresses as well. Her stuff is to die for!






Unfortunately her website is not up and running yet...but I will keep yall posted on that. Her shop is on Devine Street if you ever make it to Columbia, SC!

Ski Bunny!

We had such a fun weekend! We arrived around 6ish on Thursday evening, cooked lasagna, built a fire, and relaxed! We woke up pretty early on Saturday and headed into "town". My favorite mountain town ever...Blowing Rock! If you are ever in the Boone, NC area it is definitely worth the 10 minute drive. There are the cutest shops, great places to eat, and an adorable park in the middle of town.



Please don't judge the camo. Remember we are from Charleston so the only cold weather clothes he owns are for hunting! :) As you can see, there was not much snow. :( Of course yesterday as we were leaving it was a blizzard! It was almost a relief though, becuase I have been up there before where it was extremely scary to be driving in the ice/snow. It was definitely freezing though! That night we hit the slopes for the night session (6-10 pm)! I think this is the perfect time to ski. It is cheaper, less crowded, and 4 hours is plenty long enough for me!



This is how he looked most of the time...joking! He was much better than I thought he was going to be since this is the first time we have gone together. I am also proud to say that I only fell once both nights...and that was because some idiot ran into someone and knocked them down in front of me. Not. Cool.

On Saturday, we got in the hot tub/sauna, relaxed by the fire for the remainder of the day, and then went skiing again that night.

Here is us again with the view from our condo of the slopes!




ETA: I also forgot to add that I made the best quiche EVER this weekend. My mom always makes it, but it was my first try. It was definitely a success as I made two of them and both of them were gone FAST! It is also super easy...

Ingredients: 1 frozen pie crust, 1 package bacon, 1.5 cups shredded swiss cheese, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 cup half and half, 4 eggs, salt and pepper to taste

-Bake or Fry the bacon (I chose to bake it so that I could pay less attention to it and socialize aka drink wine by the fire!) Crumble the bacon.
-Heat oven to 375 degrees
-Bake pie shell for about 5 minutes
-Put bacon in bottom of shell
-Cover with 1.5 cups shredded swiss cheese
-Combine/whip the eggs, half and half, whipping cream, salt, and pepper
-Pour mixture over bacon and cheese
-Bake for about 45 minutes or until top is browned

Delicious!!! Enjoy! :)


How was your weekend?

I hope that it was wonderful and that you are having a great Monday!

Wine-O

Ugghhh I am a little sleepy this morning. We had a little too much wine last night. We did have a lot of fun though! We went over to one of the couples that is coming on the ski trips house for dinner! We cooked steaks, drank too much wine, and finalized our plans for the trip. I am getting kind of nervous, because I haven't skiied in 2 years. I think it might be like riding a bike though...or I hope it is.

Annnnd the news yall have all been waiting for. One rat down. Hopefully there are no more. My boss set out the traps around lunchtime yesterday. We didn't think that the little visitor would come WHILE WE WERE IN THE OFFICE...but around 4:30 we heard it. Thankfully, there were no more this morning! It did create a little entertainment in this boring office though. :)

Well if you are bored one of my friends sent me this website and it is pretty cool...http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/flash/

Well back to work for my last full day of the week...
