Together Since 2008

My Aunt Julie and Uncle Pete have been married for a long time (30ish years or so) and I really love this framed set of photos in their house with a picture from each year of marriage. Anthony and I have only been married for 2 years now but I still think that is a great accomplishment so I wanted to post my favorite picture of the two of us for each of the years we have been an item. Here it goes!

Isn't it wild to see how much we have both changed over the past 5 years? I look forward to the next 5 years together and think that Anthony will be a dashing 30 year when we arrive! A trip down memory lane is always a fun trip. Happy New Year!

Food Nanny

Anthony and I have been budget crazy this year so I definitely jumped on the chance to meet BYU Channel's The Food Nanny. Learn more about her and the plan here.
Me with the Food Nanny, Liz Edmunds
Anyway, Liz was super helpful in talking about how to simplify meal plans for your family making meals that are both affordable and healthy. So we have been trying to plans meals 2 weeks in advance. So far we have cut our groccery budget by almost $75. It is great! Anthony has even been experimenting with yeast and baking breads which can be totally fun and... interesting.
