Today is the day I decided to start blogging...I've heard its the hip, new thing to do..."everyone has a blog these days!" So why not me? This way I can share my cooking adventures, workout ideas, and love to be small-town fabulous with the world.
My husband (Thomas) and I recently moved back to my childhood home town in Byron. He recently got out of active duty in the United States Marine Corps, and I quit my ICU job in Peoria. We are renting a cute little white house in town that is almost three times as big as our apartment in Peoria. I'm currently looking for a new job while the hubs works for my family and figures out what to do without the Marines in his (our) life.
I cook a ton since we are desperately trying to save money and home-cooking is way cheaper than eating out. I get bored very easily, so I'm constantly trying new recipes. In fact, I think I've only ever made the same thing one time...other than that its a new recipe everyday.
I love exercising and trying to be as healthy as possible while living a fabulous life to look back on when I'm 85. I've always enjoyed trying to live healthily, but being a nurse has given me new inspiration and determination. My lovely husband gets the "brunt" of my health-nut side, bless his heart. He's always getting my speeches about being heart healthy and adding antioxidants!
However, I do love obnoxiously fabulous things...dark chocolate, exotic travel, expensive hair accessories (preferably Juicy Couture), aged cheese, and of course tequila! The realization that a lifestyle like that does not exactly line up with my need to have a healthy, money-smart life has given me more reason to find ways to be fit, fabulous, and frugal!
