Camping!





Hans and I got a chance to spend some time in the great outdoors this week! We pitched a tent and everything. I've been wanting to get away for a mini-vacation for a while, so Hans took Wednesday and Thursday off and away we went to Jalama Beach. Just about 30 miles north of Santa Barbara. We played cards, read books, threw horseshoes, surfed, walked, drove, cooked hot dogs and had an all-around fabulous time!

Life's Little Updates

Life has been busy with the little things. Here's a few wee updates. Brianna and I finally had a photo shoot for our delicious cookies! Below is one of my favorites of the lemon cream cheese cookie.

I finally got a frame for the Scotchbake recipe my grandmother wrote me before she died in July last summer. She wrote this for my shower and it's one of those forever treasured things. It reminds me of her every time I cook.

After 6 months, I finally got a bedside table for Hans! He claims he has no need for it, but I'm sure one of these days he'll put something in the drawers and on that day he'll be thankful for me and the bedside table. (Got the table for $15 and fixed it up for another $15! Impressive, eh?)
Lastly, I chopped off all my hair. Well, to be fair, Tiffany chopped off all my hair. She had a great time cutting away while I watched in horror. However, after it was all over, it looked pretty cute. Plus, it takes me all of 8 minutes from start to finish to get it looking cute!
