Day 333, January 17th

Tuesday night, we decided we needed some comfort from our favorite Aunt...Chilada. Haha
Home late from work, and too lazy to cook, we headed out to eat and chat about our days.  Pretty simple Tuesday in our life.

Day 332, January 16th

This week is Gala week, so pretty much can't say when I will actually get home on any given night.  I told Ryan I wanted to go to the gym when I did get home, so when I finally rolled in the door this is what I saw.  So sweet, he had everything out and ready for me.  He probably also did this knowing I'd most likely change my mind about the gym, but wouldn't if the clothes were already out.  Tricky son of a gun.

Day 331, January 15th

Sunday, Ryan and I had Ann, my mom and Rick over for dinner to celebrate Rick's birthday. We spent most of the day cooking, but I did duck out for awhile.  On New Year's Day this year, my friend from High School's little baby passed away in her sleep.  So sad to watch a family have to deal with something like that.  Rachel and I headed over to our friend's house to help him say goodbye.  They did a beautiful balloon release, and it was nice to see everyone for awhile.

After that, I headed back home to get dinner ready. Ann sent this recipe for Chicken in a Pinot Noir sauce so we made that along with popovers, that didn't actually since I used wheat flour, darn me trying to be healthy!! 

Gus and Max were so happy to see Rick, Gus is always a social dude, but it was weird to see Max joining in on the fun.  All in all it was a nice day and I think Rick enjoyed his birthday celebration with us.

Day 330, January 14th

Saturday morning, I headed out early to work the Volunteer Training at The Phoenician.  This year I was in charge of the Gala Volunteers so that was exciting, I did that my first year working at JDRF, so it was nice to go back and do it again.  One of the volunteers said I looked like I was from the midwest...I was insulted, but not sure why.  Luckily I was hanging with one of my many midwest friends that afternoon, and she eased my fears.

When I was done with work, I headed home, got ready and then Ryan and I headed out to meet up with Tommy, Kristen and Elise at the Food Truck Festival. I had been pretty excited about going to this all week, and when we got there, this guy offered us discounted tickets so that was even cooler.  Then we got into the event, and saw why that man probably left and gave us his tickets.  There were lines everywhere!! Every truck probably had about an hour wait, we split up, waited the hour, finally got to the truck only to find that they had run out of almost everything.  Disappointing to say the least.  We ate, Ryan and Tommy rode the giant slide and then we said goodbye to the Food Truck Fest. 

After the Food Truck Festival, we headed up to Tilted Kilt to meet Heather and Alex to watch the Patriots game. We stopped at Target on our way there, and Ryan made an outfit switcharoo, and then we had a nice evening with G4.  Patriots won, as you all know since they made it to the Superbowl this year.

Day 329, January 13th

On Friday when we got home from work, we decided to cozy up and watch Rocky II! Ryan got pretty hooked last night, so it was nice to be able to continue on.  We made some delicious pizza, opened a bottle of wine, and watched Rocky and Apollo duke it out one more time!

Day 328, January 12th

Although I do love Ryan unconditionally, I did have some doubts about marrying him when I found out that he had never seen any of the Rocky movies! I mean, I'm a girl and I've seen them!! I finally had enough embarrasment of telling people he hadn't seen any of them so I forced a Rocky marathon on our home for the weekend.  Thursday night, we ate dinner and settled in for the first movie in this wonderful series.  It was nice for me too since I haven't watched the Rocky in quite some time.  I think Ryan really enjoyed the movie and is starting to realize what a terrible life he was leading before I saved him.

Day 327, January 11th

On Wednesday, Ryan and I had errands to run so after we got home we changed out of our fancy work clothes into regular ol clothes. I know people say that married couples often start to dress alike, but I had no idea how quick it would happen!!
I was very excited to notice that Ryan and I were basically dressed in the same outfit! Not even a year into our marriage and we're already dressing alike...too cute.

Day 326, January 10th

So for me, work is really starting to get a bit crazy...with Gala 11 days away, we've al been putting in longer hours.  When I got home from work, I went to grab the mail, per usual, then headed home to hang with the Rynator and eat dinner.

As I opened the mail I got this exciting piece of mail tell me that I made Dean's List this semester! Woohoo I said!
