Banana Bread

Yay, finally found my camera cord!  Last week I made homemade banana bread.  I tried a new recipie and it came out quite nicely. 

The mise en place.

After creaming the butter and sugar.

With the mashed bananas added.

With the flour added in.

Yummy!  Warm, delicious and moist banana bread!

Oldie But Goodie

I can't seem to find my camera cord, so cannot currently upload the pictures I have taken recently.  I did finally get an external hard drive and finally transferred all my old pics off my desktop onto it.  My desktop is from college and I'm looking to eventually get rid of it and upgrade to a macbook, and obviously don't want to lose all the pictures I have ever taken.  I was going through some of them and came across a few shots I took when the Boo and I went to the Art Museum.  So here they are:

The Boo and I.

There was this cool hallway that had these lights that changed randomly.

Me and my Boo!

It's been a little rough here in my world.  The Boo and I hit a rough patch and it was not pretty.  A huge part of it was probably me.  I tend to internalize things a lot, overthink things and stress out about things as well.  And I'm not very good at communicating how I am feeling, which doesn't make things easier.  So I bottle all these feelings deep inside of me, until they explode to uncontrollable levels and I lash out.  It's not pretty, and I feel awful about doing so.  I have promised to be better about this.  Thankfully, the Boo is understanding and can forgive these outbursts.  He has his faults as well and we just have to be better at working on them.

We went to a wedding this weekend and had made up.  We had a great time and it was like the past few days hadn't even happened.  That's what I love about him, his ability to let go of things.  I really need to learn how he does it.  Below are some fun pictures of us.

He's so freaking tall!  And I'm so freaking short.

Same picture but with the barn behind us instead.

He can never take a nice picture!

Even worse picture!

Finally a nice picture of us!

His impression of putting his head on my shoulder.

Vacation Time

The Boy and I were finally able to take a long weekend and get away from it all.  This was actually our first vacation together and it was much needed.  We spent the weekend at Wintergreen Resort, right outside of Charlottesville, VA.  We had a great time and it was so peaceful and relaxing.  I got some great shots of nature.  Loved it!


Our room looked out directly to the 18th hole of the golf course.

The living room had this beautiful painting.  I couldn't stop staring at it and really wanted to take it home with me.

The resturant also looked out directly to the 18th hole.  This is right during sunset.  So pretty!

I really liked the colors of these flowers in front of the spa.

It got really foggy towards the end of the trip.  You couldn't see the golf course, only the fog and trees.

On the way home, we stopped at James Madison University to visit Jimney's Alma Mata.
