raman noodles & market

Apparently I missed the memo about raman noodles. yeah...my sister's been eating them for years, Sam's been eating them for years

and I just started eating them about a month ago. They are FABULOUS, i mean, fabulous for what you're getting. I love the "beef" flavor, it's

my favorite, but I can't really judge because I've only had the "beef."

Well...i'm off to Atlanta tonight to visit this wonderful, peaceful place called the merchandise mart....haha. I wish it was wonderful and

peaceful. It's about the most overwhelming thing you could possibly do in the realm of shopping. Take a normal mall, and magnify it by like 10 times

and then add about 100 people every 25 sq feet. Yeah I think that's pretty close to market... but hey, it's just 3 days. ha

I'm also floating whether to do a half marathon in april?....hhmmm. I have a theory about why I hesitate to do new things...

I shall explain later. off to Atlanta now.

we actually forgot....

I was sitting outside last night writing in my journal, thinking about the all the things that have been going on lately...and it dawned on me that Sam and I totally forgot about our 10 month anniversary on Tuesday. I know that it might not seem like a big deal compared to someone celebrating 10 years, but for us newly weds, the months are still what I count and they are big deal to me. thank you. Anyway, I was a little sad because it was the first time that I actually skipped an entire day and half before remembering. As long we don't forget the big 1 year, I think i'll be ok. haha.

Pictures were promised from the fun weekend with the family. So here are some...I can't believe we had so many people in our small little place at one time!

Talking with the Brown's and Allie and Bjorn. There were also 4 dogs in the apartment too!

The night before, Sam and I joined my parents for Austin's football game outside of B'ham.
They are just so cute!....

Mom, let's be twins for Halloween? haha

The crazy birthday cake I had made for Sam, Dad, and Mark. It was a laugh.

I don't know how, but I snapped a picture of all 4 dogs napping. Sadie is in the couch somewhere. Rudy maned his perch on the chair the whole weekend. It was a site to see.
