Well, Hello World!

I cannot tell you how very excited I am to be a part of this awesome blog!  Those of you who are The Lovely Prelude followers will have seen me a couple of times before, filling in for Abbi while she is off in Mexico or Spain or somewhere amazing like that.  You may also know that we both love to eat, cook, read,  and create! 

 I will be bringing some meat (literally) to the blog recipes, and some more crafty or inspirational how-to posts.  I might even post a silly picture of my dog wearing a jacket!  How exciting!

This is my little family: my fiance, Matt, and our pup, Layla.  I get to marry Matt in about a year and a half, which gives me plenty of time to get my DIY on!  We live in Pensacola right now, which could not be more different from Abbi's life in DC; there are fairly reasonable temperatures all year round, the beach is almost always an option, and we don't get to go to nearly as many fun museum/concert/restaurant openings.  I keep myself entertained by crafting, going to the farmer's market on weekends, occasional antiquing, cooking and baking, and reading.  

I cannot wait to start sharing with all of you!
