Our Honeymoon Revisited!

My best friend from high school (the Florida years) was in town for the night.  We haven't seen each other in over three years.

We remembered the last time we saw each other was the week we were assembling our wedding invitations (courtesy of Little Leaf Design).  Erin couldn't make it to our wedding because she was entering the Sisters of Life.

While I was bummed she couldn't make it to our big day, Eric and I were so excited for her "yes" to religious life and her journey ahead.  Well, long story short, that journey recently came to an end and Erin has been on the road visiting friends and family.

It was incredible to catch up over late night cookies and early morning coffee.  I was delighted to show her our wedding album.  All she had seen was one or two pictures I sent her in a Christmas letter to her that first year.

In light of looking at our wedding album, and braining storming my upcoming guest post on marriage over at The Charming (yay! Amy's getting married!), I decided to spend Evie's nap time today to move Eric and I's honeymoon blog on over to this one.  I post dated all the entries so they fit the timeline of the other wedding blog entries I've migrated...so they're waaaay back there.

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. ...
