Dreamsicle Cake (How To)

How many of you love eating dreamsicle popsicle? Every time I think of one I am remembered of summer time! Today I was browsing around the inter-web and I found this delicious recipe, so without further thought my Mom and I put the three simple ingredients on our grocery list!


Ingredients needed to make this award winning desert:

1 box (15.25 oz) of white cake mix
1 container (6 oz) non-fat Greek yogurt, plain
1 cup of orange juice
Powder sugar (optional)



 In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, Greek yogurt, and orange juice. Stir until your ingredients are well mixed together.  Spray an 8x8 pan and spread the yummy batter evenly into it!



Bake the cake at 350 for 30-33 minuets!


Once cooled dust some powder sugar over the top for the finishing touch!


And now you have made a blue ribbon desert for sure! Besides the fact that this cake is so simple to make a piece of it only adds up to about 200 calories! It was a blast being able to make this cake so quickly just in time for my sweet tooth.

To finish of my night I'm going to eat this delicious and fabulous cake while watching a movie. Until next time my dear friends!

Three cheers for three years

Can I just take a moment and brag on my boyfriend? Is that allowed?

After three years my boyfriend Chris has graduated with his associates degree in Leadership! I am so proud of this man of God. He encourages me daily to spend time in the Word and grow my relationship with our Creator. Chris has worked hard to serve to his best abilities which I admire about him!

 I cannot wait to see what God has in store for Chris this summer and this next stage of life!
Way to go Chris! Always remember I'm proud of you! <3

Adventure Time!

My brother and I live 4 hours apart now that I've moved away to school. And finally a weekend has open for me to drive down and visit him! And boy oh boy has it been an adventure!
Thursday Day One: The drive
Besides the excitement of going to visit my brother i was stoked to make a road-trip all by myself! And I have decided I'm not a fan.
There were some pros:
1) listening to my music as loud as I wanted.
2) Having time to think and pray by myself.
3) driving without commentary.
But we all know with a list of pros a list of cons follow close at hand.
List of cons:
1) Not knowing there were tolls to pay therefore you end up driving through all the toll booths and may be arrested one day.
2) Having your GPS lose signal. Leaving you lost.
3) Getting pulled over and given a warning for speeding. (For the record I was NOT driving reckless, I just like to feel the wind through my hair.. Or something like that.)


As you can see it was a wild ride! Once I made it to OKC the eating began right away! My brother David is a foodie. He works in the food industry and loves eating well. I can now officially say I am spoiled to the taste of expensive food! Visiting my brother consisted of 2-3 mini meals per lunch and diner. Let's just say I'm STILL full! After a taste of the good food my brother and I hit up Dave & Busters which is a giant arcade! 

Friday Day Two: The weight gain
I cannot express to you how much many different foods I tried on Friday. Here are some pictures!


Besides eating David and I also went bowling which I graciously destroyed him at. I also got to enjoy the evening meeting Ali, David's girlfriend, and hanging out with Brad a friend of David and I's. I discovered I like sushi which is something short of a miracle. (After all, fish are friends not food. Right?)





Saturday Day Three: Winning
Did I mention Ali has horses? Well she does and they're all amazing!! 




And yes, I got to ride one. No I did not die! (I know I was excited too!) 





Growing up in the North I was never aloud to have a horse. Though I came up with brilliant plans to house one (keeping it in the garage etc.) my parents never bought into it. Therefore it was awesome to go visit Ali's horses!

On top of riding horses (as if that wasn't cool enough) David and I dominated in a couple rounds of lazer-tag (suit up! HIMYM referece) I have discovered I stink at lazer-tag but I will still claim to be good. (Helps my self esteem) 



Sunday Day Four: The Drive Back
After visiting David's church, we met up with Ali in hipsterville for brunch which was delicious!


 My ride home was much better and the trees flew by at a slower pace! 


I had a phenomenal time visiting my brother and living the night life! Can't wait to see him again in July!

Think about it Tuesday

"In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take."

As I thought about this quote a friend of mine pointed out that all chances are not the best ones to take. So I sat back and thought about it. In the end all the chances I took I have not regret. (yet, keep your fingers crossed!)

What do you think? Do you agree with this quote or not?

A long, long time ago

Hello there fellow creepers!
It has been ages since I've posted a blog, lately I've been reading a lot more blogs which got me in the mood to write one for myself!

Where to begin? Last you knew I was in my senior summer right? Since then I have packed my bags and moved off to college 8hrs away from my home land because God placed a calling on my life. I have fallen in love with God all over again at school and He has placed a most wonderful man in my life named Chris. It has been a wild ride for sure! Many ups and downs but I have learned so much! And now I'm reaching the home stretch of my first year in college finals week is literally right around the corner!

I should probably go study for those finals instead of blogging....

To Blog or Not to Blog

Let's be honest how many times am I going to start a blog and never blog? A lot. That's the answer.

Do you ever feel like one day you're totally pumped for something and then the next day you could care less? Kids do it all the time, their attention span is 0-10 seconds. Does that mean we are all just kids in an older persons body? Probably.

Diaries are the same way. You start one, you stay committed a few weeks (if you're lucky) then you stop. So much happens in the span of time from when you last logged that it will takes pages to catch up! (Been there done that)

What happened to determination. Finishing what we start?

Lunch break is over, gotta get back to work.
