Our Camping Adventure


I meant to write this two weeks ago but such is life. We got a new camper and decided to take it out for a trial run up at Strawberry Reservoir. It is super nice! Pete's brother AJ and his friend came as well. The first night I got really tired super early so I decided since everyone was still up and going in and out of the camper that I would sleep in the back of our new Land Rover. That was not my best idea ever. Not only did it get freezing in the middle of the night, I have never been so uncomfortable in my life! I was up most of the night thinking about going into the camper, but I didn't want to wake anyone up. Plus I was pretty sure if I opened the door I would freeze to death. Finally at like 8 am I got up and went in there and made Pete cuddle with me for warmth for like 3 hours. Haha. We got up and went and did some fishing. Pete is an awesome fisherman. The only downfall was there were bee's. I am deathly allergic to bee's. And of course my epipen got left home. I seriously need to be more responsible. Anyways, these stupid bee's weren't leaving us alone. Mostly Pete. He finally caught a fish and was reeling it in and one starts attacking him on the back. I start yelling at him and he is jumping around, trying to reel in this fish and slap the bee off him. His glasses flew off. And that stupid fish got off the line. It was thoroughly entertaining. Pete is so sweet, he kept running over to me when I would freak out about a bee and he would kill it, or grab it bare handed and get stung, just so I wouldn't. He was shielding my body with his. Way to take one for the team babe! We weren't getting too many bites, so we moved down the lake a little ways. Pete got another bite, and as he was reeling it in the line snapped. That kid grabbed the fishing line before it went into the water, and pulled it in with his bare hands. If we were lost in the wilderness I have no doubt we could survive with all his manly capabilities. He is so awesome.

I dont like to brag

But I will brag about my sweet husband ALL DAY LONG. He is the best person I have ever known. He is very caring and aware and always tries to make me happy. Anyways, I have a collection of pictures of flowers the sweet boy has given me that I want to post because, like I said, I just think he is amazing and want to share his amazingness with everyone!

















Isn't he the best?!

Finally

So I have been feeling a bit under the weather lately. And that has made me kind of lazy. I finally felt a bit better today, so I made a great dinner for Pete and I while he was at basketball.

Cobb Salads! Mmm they were so good! I made a homemade vinaigrette as well. I'll include the recipe because it turned out really well. Also please forgive me, because I never measure anything, so these are kind of approximations!
Basil Parmesan Vinaigrette
1/3 cup olive oil
2 T white wine vinegar
1/2 fresh lemon
2 T parmesan
1 T garlic minced
3 fresh basil leaves
Pepper to taste

Put all the ingredients in a Magic Bullet (or blender) and pulse till mixed. Serve immediately :)
