married
Excuse the quality of this photo, but seriously how sweet is this? Twirling in your wedding dress amongst pigeons outside of Notre Dame. in Paris.
Lessons learned:
1) twirl in dresses more.
2) dance in public.
3) be spontaneous and kind and animals may flock to you (like in a disney princess movie).
happy monday!
True love is when...
He lends me his gloves because I'm freezing and forgot mine // He washes the dishes after he's had a full day of work and night class // He lets me sleep in on Saturdays when he gest up for work // He lets me have the last bite of dessert.. hehe :) // He lets me pick the movie even if he'd rather see a different one // He cleans up my messes without complaining (because I'm the messier one) // He tells me he loves me.. but I already know
For Valentine's Day this weekend I wanted to make something sweet for Kyle. He had told me he was making a special dinner for me so I offered to make dessert! I've made this vanilla cake before and it is so simple to make yet so delicious. It is also a great base recipe and could be easily altered to make a different flavor/kind of cake. Later, I topped the cake with fresh raspberries so it would look more like a valentine cake (as if the pink paper roses weren't enough!).
I was pretty spoiled this weekend because in addition to Kyle making us an amazing meal, he surprised me with Broadway tickets to see one of my favorite shows--Phantom of the Opera!! :) It was an AMAZING show and an incredible Valentine weekend spent with each other. (It was also special because it was our 8th valentine's spent together! : D
Easy Vanilla Cake
Ingredients:
Directions: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 9x9 inch pan. In large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat each egg in one at a time. Stir in vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to wet mix. Stir in milk until batter is smooth. Pour batter into pan. Bake in oven for 25-35 minutes.
Note: I made this in a 9x9 inch pan but then cut out two smaller circles to make a more petite, 2-person serving!
