St. Louis & Arkansas.

Last weekend, I was in St. Louis and Arkansas for a sorority sister's wedding.  I had the best time - it was so wonderful to get away, even though it was 2 weeks before graduation!  I will say, although I was with my fabulous and favorite professional travelers, I missed my new travel buddy.  K had a final on Monday so he was stuck at home studying.  

Here are some highlights I took on my phone:

Crave: Lake Time

My brother sent me this lovely picture he took this weekend in Kansas.  I want to take a running leap off that dock.  I'm craving some lake time.  Memorial Day can't be here soon enough.  The Mighty Birch is calling my name!

Gimme Some Guacamole.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo (and the Kentucky Derby), we had tacos and daiquiris for dinner!  One of my favorite things in the world is guac.  Seriously.  For years, I refused to eat it.  I don't know if it was because of the color or because I simply thought it would be disgusting, but either way, I clearly had lost my mind.  Think of all the guacamole I could have enjoyed during those dark days in my life...sad.

Anyway, now I can't get enough.  Gimme some guacamole!  Here's my quick guac recipe that's easy to whip up and simply delicious.  

Start with two avocados, one lime, and one onion.  Simple, right?!

Mash up the avocado.

Squeeze half a large lime or an entire small lime over the avocado.  I like lime so I use a heavy hand!  Add some chopped onions to add texture.  I've also used green bell peppers before as well.

And there you go!  Easy Peasy Guacamole.  Yeah, I'm a nerd.  It's so good, Kurtis couldn't stay out of the final picture!  I keep an avocado pit in the mix to keep the guac green.

Enjoy!

The Woman I Love.

I needed to hear this song today.  When my life gets super crazy (like right now), I'm so lucky to have K in my life.
