So life lately has been pretty wonderful, stressful, crazy, but overall really great! This week Caleb's Dad and little sis came to visit! We had such a good time catching up. Caleb and I don't believe in the whole "dreaded in-laws" stereotype. We really click with each other's families and call each of the other's parents mom and dad. We believe this is so important in our relationship. When we got married we became a family as a whole and adopted each other's families as our own family. Being adopted myself, I think this was a real easy concept to grasp, understand, and love. I know in some cases it's really hard for families to click, especially when you come from complete opposite backgrounds. But always look for the positive and try not to complain about those "crazy in-laws", it will make such a difference ;)
Alright, time to bombard you with pics from our week!!!
Hands down our favorite place to eat on the beach!!! If you ever visit P-cola this place is a MUST!
Watching Street Performers
And Lets not forget eating world famous Beignets and coffee at Cafe Du Monde!
Oh, and can I jut say I was super proud of my extra poofy braided bun this day ;)
We did go swimming, however, I thought the water was pretty chilly...Thus I didn't last long and ended wrapped up in a towel!
Overall it was such an amazing week!
Hold on! I'm almost done with my life update! haha ;)
So other than an amazing family visit, I have been subbing, working out,(I LOVE working with my trainer Amanda and Caleb and I finally became members of the gym! yay!) and brushing up on my wifey skills. As most of you may know, because of where Caleb is in training, we will probably be moving out of Pensacola in March. So bitter sweet! Because of this, I ended up not going back to my full time job of teaching at WNPS. So, I am pretty much doing the house wife thing on days that I'm not doing a crazy whirlwind-of-a-day subbing job. But, I love it :)
Alright, we'll end this with a recipe!
So I never thought I was a big oatmeal person because growing up I never ate it. However, my breakfast has been changed FOREVER. I LOVE oatmeal, however, just not any oatmeal. I like the old fashioned good stuff. Also, I like to eat clean so I just buy the plain stuff and add my own ingredients to it :) Here's my favorite!
Maple Cinnamon Oats
1/2 or 3/4 cup of oat meal
1 cup of water
*Make Oats as directed on box* (I use the microwave because its easiest)
After it is finished cooking add:
2 packets of stevia (or sweetner of choice)
LOTS of cinnamon. (I dont measure it out, the more, the better!)
Dash of maple Syrup (I use sugar free Maple syrup, its amazing! you can also buy agave favored Maple syrup which is equally as good!)
Crushed almonds...For crunch!
**If you feel like being really fancy you can also add fruit (Bananas are GREAT in it!) and a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt (the yogurt will add a really creamy texture, sounds weird, but trust me, its delicious!)**
looks sketchy...but taste great ;)
Hope you enjoy! Have a Blessed Tuesday friends!
