Update on Life! :)



Good Morning All! J Wake up and smell the fresh popping cranberries!

 Today, after being many inspired of great cranberry facts and stories, I decided to make some delicious cranberry sauce! I didn't realize how exciting, fun and easy making cranberry sauce could be!

1 Cup Water
1 Cup Sugar ---- Put in a pot and boil-
Then pour in the cranberries..wait until they all pop!
And then... stir stir - and let sit until cool and refrigerate!
 
And last.... Tadah! The beautiful cranberry sauce!!!
 
 
On a funnier and also sad note.... our basement freezer got unplugged and a ton of our meat/bread was ruined! My parents thought they might be able to save some and cook it, but being leery of food poisoning- they decided to just give it the dogs as snacks- here's what our house was like for a while though:
 
And this was the meat we just thought we might be able to save, we had to throw away a lot of other meat.. turkey... pork.. a huge ham. It was quite the riot!!!
 
Here's my cute mama and me! And tomorrow my brother is coming home from Uganda! Woo-hoo! :)
 
School is officially over; 9 classes..24 credits down the drain!!! This picture is of roses- I sent it to my grandpa for his baptism. I was inspired to draw it because I had this beautiful dream one night and I was driving through a beautiful area and every tree had pink roses and they were all falling to the ground and they were everywhere... I found out my grandpa loves roses so I sent him this picture.
 
 
Here's a picture of me at the mall- my mom and I did a bit of Black Friday shopping, but we didn't go out until later on. :)
 
 
And here's my dog to say goodnight to you all.

  1. Wow!!! I can't believe you guys had to lose a bunch of your freezer food. That's a huge bummer. Good thing you have so many positive things to balance the scales. Like being done with school and your brother coming home!!! I remember two years ago how two years seemed so long. ....and that dream you had of the roses sounds like a really cool fairytale!!! Your picture was lovely!

  3. Oh and that's So Cool that you made cranberry sauce!!!! Sometime you should make "cranberry poppers" here's how you make them: use orange juice instead of water and sugar. Cook the cranberries in the juice until right before they're about to pop. Take them out quickly before they pop and let them cool. Then dust them in powdered sugar (I'll usually put the powdered sugar in a zip lock bag, and shake the berries in it. It's a bit cleaner that way). Then eat 'em!!!! Super fun and tasty. It's a party favorite!!! =D
