2 Year Anniversary

Clark and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary last night. We decided to not do much but to just spend time together. At first Clark was going to surprise me with where we were going to eat, but I ended up guessing it. It was:


Absolutely amazing!! Yes expensive, but totally worth splurging on for an anniversary or birthday. When you first arrive they greet you by name, a little creepy knowing who we are then you get introduced to your 4 or 5 waiters for the night. Everyone gets a small appetizer which is "Compliments of the Chef". We got of course Caviar, ha I had a very gross look on my face but I thought I would AT LEAST try it. They give you sour cream, onions, and some other stuff you can put on top of it. So I chose to eat it with sour cream and onions. I was shocked that I actually kind of liked it. It was probably cause I could only taste the sour cream.

During that time one of your waiters brings a plate out of raw steaks to show you the sizes and how much they are. One of them was $140...can you believe that!!! Clark decided he wanted the Filet Mignon and I wanted lobster. Everything is ordered family style so we chose "half" of two sides. During this time Clark started feeling very light headed. I was like "are you kidding me, if you pass out in this nice restaurant I will freak out". He had to keep getting up and going to the bathroom or outside. I felt so bad for him cause I know he wanted our night to be special and fun. I kept feeding him food hoping that would help. NOT!! We finally got our food and I really wanted to eat but Clark was wanting to get it to go and get out of there. So I gobbled down my food, which was excellent by the way, got Clark's food and of course desert to go. As soon as we walked out the door and waited on his truck he started feeling better. Of course he would!! When we got home he felt so much better and ate his yummy steak. Even though we didn't get to enjoy the restaurant, at least both of us got to enjoy our food.

Nick & Sam's is definitely a place I will go back to, of course for something special and probably not till next year...ha! If you ever get the chance to splurge like that, go to Nick & Sam's...you wont regret it.

Hello 2010

OK, so I know it is a little late to talk about New Year's Resolutions but I am a little behind. I still can't believe it is 2010, it feels like yesterday everyone was freaking out about 2000.

Here are my resolutions:

1. Exercise more-I usually walk the dogs every night but I don't during the winter. I need to find a workout I can do indoors.

2. Go to Church More- I was raised going to church every Sunday and now that I have gotten older it has become harder. This year I want Clark and I to find a church we love so our faith can grow stronger in the Lord and in each other.

3. Save Money- So being a college student makes you really poor. I am so ready to have a steady income. I do get some money from my parents each month, but definitely could not live off of it. I am still looking for a job so I can start saving for my wedding and future.

4. Be the best Fiancé- OK so I know no one is perfect but being engaged is hard and I know being married is harder. Don't get me wrong I love being engaged and knowing that I get to spend the rest of my life with Clark, but making decisions we both agree on does not come easy. I have found a man that loves me unconditionally and would give me the world if he could, so he deserves all of that and more from me!

Those are my resolutions and I hope that I can stick to them. I miss when you were younger and all you wished for was to be nicer to your sister....ha!

A Little Behind

I am a little behind on blogging but I have been gone for about a week on vacations. First off before Christmas Clark and I went over to the Winston's house (Clark's friends from high school). They had some couples over for dinner and we always have fun with them. I was in charge of the dessert and I decided to make Red Velvet Cookies (Thanks to Bakerella). They turned out really good and they are super easy to make.

Mix one box of red velvet cake mix and 1/2 cup of butter.

It becomes very thick like cookie batter.

Once it is all mixed drop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.

Bakerella gives you a recipe to make your own cream cheese icing but I cheated and store bought mine. This is the finished product and I will definitely be making them again!!

Wedding Colors!!

So I know my wedding as a ways off but I decided on my colors, I am so excited!! Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to carry red roses and they go perfectly with the other colors.

I have a picture of my wedding dress but I am going to keep it a secret till the wedding!!

Cookie Christmas Tree

Clark's mom gave us a cookie tree kit to make. So the other night Clark and I decided to make it. It turned out really cool but I would definitely NOT eat the cookies.

It comes with:

Already made gingerbread cookies (which I wouldnt eat)

Green & White Icing (just add hot water)

Fruity candy balls (for the lights)

& Candy presents for under the tree

It would be a fun project to make with kids. Since I dont recommend eating it, it does create for decorating.

Here is our finished project!
