Crazy Busy

It has been one of those weeks.  You know the one where you barely see each other much less have a decent conversation.  Oh well, I guess that's the life of two married kids in college.  Nevertheless, I love you Mr. Pennington!

Beef Noodle Bowl

One of the things that Daniel and I really enjoy is cooking together.  We absolutely love trying new recipes, but we of course have some old favorites too.  We decided to make Beef Noodle Bowl for our "first married meal" together and its too good of a recipe not to share. Its simple and delicious!

3 cups broccoli florets
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 tsp. oil

Here we go...

Welcome to our little slice of cyberspace!  Mr. Pennington and I have decided to start a blog to help the rest of the world keep up with our busy little life.

We have been married precisely one month tomorrow and it has been the best month of my life!  In just over a month we have had a lot happen: I completed the first semester of grad school, we got married, we went on a honeymoon, we went to Disney World, we celebrated Daniel turning one year older, we moved into our apartment, we started the fall semester of school and somehow managed to keep our sanity!

So here is a little preview of our new life!

 Cooking our first meal in our apartment...beef noodle bowl

 Daniel trying to take credit for my hard work.

 

 He was working hard too though!  We ran out of cabinet space, so he put together a pantry for us!

 

Finished product!!!!

We are going to try really hard to keep up with the blog as much as possible with our busy schedule so stayed tuned to find out more about.... the married life!
