Cooking Habits

For some reason this year has been really hard as far as being willing to take the time to cook. I think it may have to do with the fact that I have no real time and am completely content with cereal most nights. I really do like to cook though when I have the time. I may not be the best, but I have a few favorite recipes. I need to make a collection of recipes that I can make in 20 minutes though. Cooking would probably get done a lot more with that. There was a unique time in my life when I thought about being a chef and own my own catering business. That didn't last very long when I realized I would probably eat all the food I made, making myself fat, and cooking gets tiring after awhile. On my bucket list I have a goal to take a cake decorating class one day though. I think that would be really fun. So here's a new goal: make one legit meal every week. Now this may seem stupid to all those moms out there, but I'm not a mom yet. Maybe next month it'll be two meals a week. We'll see!

This is what happens when Lauren and I cook together!

Friends

I'm really grateful for wonderful friends in my life. Sometimes its hard to be away from family so much, but my friends definitely make life that much better. They listen to me about everything (or at least they pretend to) and give me advice on just about anything. Lauren, especially, has been a wonderful roommate and deals with all my imperfections daily and still loves me. I'm definitely the messy one of the two of us. I love spending time with people that make me laugh. (except for when Chelsey makes me silent laugh...horrible) The best memories of my college experience has been when I'm dying laughing. I absolutely love it when Lauren goes to the dentist to get her cavities filled or when Chelsey and I people watch. I love the friends that tell me the truth and give me hugs or notes just because. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful friends that make college one of the greatest experiences of my life.
