The most amazing meal I've ever had.

It might be the trip of a lifetime, but really, I am always hesitant to say it. My photos of my trip Here's a way to see what I saw...other than the meal of a lifetime, which will be chronicled in a different spot. For the winter months, I highly recommend Zion National Park.

As people who know me know... I've been dating the same guy for about 3.5 years. Actually, to the day, it's 3.5 years. Today, at the grand canyon, he asked me to marry him. The snow was falling lightly around us, I was crying tears of joy, and I am now engaged to George O'Quinn.

She'd been in the hospital since Wednesday, with a slight fever, and despite doing a barage of tests on her, they didn't find anything wrong. She was ready. I saw her the night before in the hospital when I visited after work. She was mildly grumpy ( Read more... )

There will be no trip to visit George's grandparents this Thanksgiving. His Grandpa is in the hospital, and his grandma is in no shape for guests. I hope he's doing better. Sorry midwest, I'll be staying warm for turkey day.

Okay, I've been trending this way a long time, but lately, I've been very very domestic. What, Erin's not travelling internationally?!! No, I fear it's worse. I'm cooking and cleaning. Less cleaning, I admit, but I've been cooking up a storm lately. In the past 2 weeks, I've made 2 soups from scratch, a pot roast, chinese stir fry, shrimp ( Read more... )
