Indianapolis in 30 hours or less!

Eric and I found out a few weeks ago that we had been invited to a wedding on May 22 in Indianapolis. Unfortunately we had no idea until the bride called to see if we were coming and what we wanted for dinner. Much thanks to AirTran's super cheap flights, we were able to make it up for the weekend to celebrate the joyous joining of two beautiful people.

I was also able to meet up with my friend Ashley, who just happened to be in Indy for the weekend, too. It was great to briefly catch up with her and have Thai food (she's the one who introduced me to it back in college).

And of course, before we left, Eric scouted out some breweries and brew pubs in the area for us to visit. The brew pubs were generic, as usual, but the Sun King Brewery was mighty good. Very similar to Sweetwater, but a smaller scale operation. Indiana Bonus: Growlers

The wedding was beautiful! It was the first one Eric and I had been to since our own wedding. It was also the most like our wedding we had ever been to, so it was nice to see what our wedding was like had we remembered it.... Dinner was amazing (spinach raviolis with red pepper cream sauce) and a great tasting pound cake with chocolate ganache. Elesia was radiant, and Mike blew us away with his Backstreet Boys dancing with his twin.

The next day we slept in (first time in a good 10 days) before heading to Ashley's recommended Mug N Bun for some fabulously fried foods. Who can go wrong with fried mac n cheese or funnel cake fries? And oh. my. gosh. HOMEMADE ROOTBEER! Yum. We got a mug to go. Too bad we couldn't take it on the plane.

I want to go back just thinking about these. Never mind the stomach aches we had a few hours later!

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off? Ah yes, the roach . He's still alive. It's been over 10 days. Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him. Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company. Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers. Chris and I have had a great time working together so far. I'm really enjoying learning new things. Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids. It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables: The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Baking with Betty: Dunwoody Dip

You're probably asking yourself, what is Dunwoody Dip? And it's a great question! It's easy to make. Melty. Cheesy. Meaty. A little bit spicy. And everyone LOVES it! The origin, though, it's a more difficult to nail down. My grandmother, who is from Dunwoody, Ga, actually heard about this dip when she was visiting friends in Denver. Urban legend has it that some guy brought the dip to a party in Denver and when prompted for a name he stalled and said "Dunwoody Dip." Because, apparently he was from Dunwoody. Who really knows? All I do know, is that this dip is yummy, very easy to make, and is always the first gone at a party or family get together. Also, Eric might have married me because of this... Dunwoody Dip Ingredients: One tube of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage Two cans of Rotel Tomatoes - Hot Two bars of Cream Cheese Big bag of Fritos Scoops Directions: Preheat oven to 325. In a large frying pan over medium-ish heat, brown the sausage. ...
