Sorry!
I apologize for the unannounced hiatus. I have had a whirlwind couple of weeks! I have a job and started this week. I am a clinical assistant at a behavioral health clinic. I can't say who I work for, when, or where...but so far the job seems pretty stress-free, I like the people I work with, and I feel like what I am doing is for a good cause and I feel really good about it. So far so good! I will probably continue my hiatus until I get more settled into my schedule. Yay for getting paychecks again!

High Five For Friday!
It's Fridayyyy! As usual, I'm linking up with http://www.frommygreydeskblog.com/! Here are some of my favorite things from this past week:
1. I went to Wisconsin Dells last Saturday to the craft show with Sara and Kaeden. That was cool! I got a lot of ideas!! Also went to a graduation party of one of Sara's good friends that evening. Super fun! After we left, we spotted a skinny Pauly D lookalike and laughed our butts off. Then back to Sara's house we went to hang out with more good friends! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures (wahh), but we were drinking these delicious things that I will now post a picture of: (#YOLO)
2. I applied for a million billion jobs this past week and I hope hope hope one of them is interested in hiring me.
3. I got a bunch of wedding stuff organized!! I keep thinking I don't have a lot left to do, but actually I think there is more than I anticipate. I had a meeting with my photographer last Friday (super excited!), and am in the process of working on a few other details.
4. Ian and I have been doing fun things in our new town! This could be several of my high fives for Friday, but this week has been just too good so I had to condense them to one :)
5. My cats. They are my babies and my joys every single week!

| Ian and I went to a movie at Sundance Cinema in Madison-The Island President. I suggest you check it out. It's a very eye-opening documentary! While there, I of course got my favorite---a sparkling pomegranate IZZE! YUM! Beforehand we ate at a yummy restaurant and had a pizza and some tiramisu!! |

| We also went on a hike at the nearby county park! So pretty! |

High Five For Friday!
It's Friday again! Linking up with http://www.frommygreydeskblog.com/! Here are some of my favorite things from this week:
1. THIS IS A BIG ONE! We are moved into our new place! A huge weight is lifted off of my shoulders. The weekend was TOUGH. I am so thankful for my and Ian's family for helping us out.
2. Unpacking! Ian had off Monday through Wednesday this week and we got a lot done! We unpacked all of our junk and set the apartment up the way we want it. The only thing we still have to do is organize the garage.
3. DECORATING! It is so fun to decorate a new place. We tackled that on Wednesday. I must say, the place is looking pretty nice!
4. We were so tired on Wednesday and decided it was a great night to get Chinese takeout and eat in front of the tv. It was awesome.
5. Relaxing and pampering. After a week of moving headaches and stresses, I decided to take a day off yesterday. I did a whole lot of nothing. It was wonderful. I did manage to give myself a much-needed pedicure. :)
Here are some pictures of our new place:

Easy Greek Pasta Salad REMIX!
I made a DELISHHHH pasta salad a couple of days ago and I wanted to share the recipe with all of you!
Just looking at this photo makes me want to go eat a big bowl of it right now...YUM
Okay, so I started off with the Easy Greek Pasta Salad from The Happy Housewife (click this link for the original recipe). I decided to make a change because I do not like olives!! Before I begin, I think this was an amazing pasta salad, but you could make it into a regular salad and sub lettuce/spinach for the pasta for a healthier alternative! It would be great either way! I actually threw some spinach on my plate and mixed it into the pasta salad when I ate this the other night!! This recipe is so easy and versatile...you can add anything you want or have!! So here it is:
You will need:
- 12 oz box of bow tie pasta, cooked, drained, and rinsed
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 cup Feta cheese crumbles
- 1.5 cups Greek Vinaigrette salad dressing (more or less, to taste)
Instructions:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl
- Refrigerate for 1-3 hours to allow flavors to infuse throughout
Notes:
- You could add chicken
- You could use any additional vegetables
- This is really good served with some crusty garlic bread!
