Just A few Wedding Pictures




Obviously, I can't post them all, but here are a few from our day.

To view all of them check out www.kalliebrynn.com for the whole album.


Our "go to" dinner

Every family has the token “Spaghetti” dinner. Their sort of ”go to” dinner, when you need something quick, filling and delicious.

Alex and I have eaten our fair share of spaghetti, but we’ve stumbled upon a new favorite, Turkey burgers with a twist.

Try them out and thank me later.

Turkey burgers with a twist:

I don’t do measurements. I just eyeball it. If you like spinach, cook all of it. That’s the great thing about this recipe. You can use as little or as much as you want of an ingredient and it’s still good.

.ground turkey

. spinach

. chopped garlic

. olive oil

. chopped sun-dried tomatoes

. crumbled gorgonzola cheese

1. Saute the spinach & garlic in oil on med-high heat until it’s wilted. (It wilts pretty fast (that’s what she said) and cooks down A LOT.)

2. Mix spinach, sundried tomatoes, cheese & ground turkey. (Work fast, otherwise the turkey starts getting sticky & falls apart easily.)

3. Make into patties and grill. Seriously delicious!

I like serving it with whole wheat martin rolls, sweet potato fries or corn on the cob. The hamburgers reheat really well and don’t dry out. I would like to take credit for this recipe, but “my husbands-former bosses-secretary’s-daughter-in -law” came up with it.

Enjoy!

Married!

This blog didn't exactly work like I had planned.

My hope was that I would sit down weekly and update family members, friends & guests on pertinent wedding information.

The weeks leading up to the wedding were filled with lazy days of,
laying out by the pool for just the right tan,
lifting weights to perfect my wedding day physique,
reading every novel on my wish list,
leisurely napping every afternoon,
watching my favorite movies off my netflix que,
planning romantic dinners for my new husband,
buying a wardrobe to fit my new persona.

AND THEN I WAKE UP!

We were engaged in married in 4 months and there was little time for anything else. I started with good intentions, but as always reality hits and the weeks leading up to the wedding were filled with days of:
working,
my grandmother's funeral,
nephew's birthday,
Easter,
packing my life into boxes,
moving,
packing for the honeymoon,
making letter A tags,
buying apples,
showers & parties,
RSVP head count,
finding bridesmaid dresses,
and about a million other little things!

We are so grateful to everyone who helped out whether it was through,
making food,
moving chairs,
tying ribbons,
taking stickers off of apples,
hanging ribbons,
cutting pictures,
rolling silverware,
bringing food,
cleaning up,
running errands,
buying ties,
and the million and seven other things that our friends and families undertook.

Alex and I are so happy with our wedding day! It was exactly what we wanted. Pictures to come soon!!!

I'm not making any promises on how frequently I post. Life always has a way of sneaking up on you. I'll do my best, so stick around and I will keep you updated on the highlights!
