You know its been a long time since you posted when holyhannahs.blogspot.com no longer comes up in my history. I decided that that is pretty sad. I have done minimal baking still but I figured I will give you a general overview of our lives at the current moment.

Over Memorial Day weekend I got to spend a wonderful 6 days in Arizona. I got some much needed Vitamin D and was able to spend time with my family. However, my favorite Uncle Rick was not home and Keegan was only home for one night. =[ It's ok, it is the perfect excuse to plan another trip down there.


Here is the one and only picture I took from the trip. I cant say I look the greatest but it will have to do!


Cousin Keegro and Me

After returning from my wonderful vacation, I had approximately 7 days to study for my last and final APICS exam. I have been working on these 5 exams since December. I had a few slip ups along the way so I was really hoping and praying this would be it. And sure enough I passed!!! Woohoo what a HUGE relief.

After passing I was the happiest girl in the world. I cried because I was so relieved. I finally felt like I could have my life back. To celebrate I hit up the Mall of America and went to lululemon. This store has wonderful workout clothes and I kinda spoiled myself, oh well I deserved it!

I bought this sweatshirt jacket and I am absolutely obsessed!

Sing, Floss, Travel Jacket
I bought it in black but am really tempted to go get it in purple as well.

After all the excitement during the day on Friday we went out to celebrate at Acapulco. Nothing like a tasty raspberry margarita. YUM! The rest of the weekend Tyler biked the MS150 race. Its a bike ride from Duluth down to the cities, which equates to 150 miles. They threw a big party Saturday afternoon in Hinkley so I went up for the festivities. The casino treated both of us well and Tyler successfully finished the race on Sunday.

Again, here is the only picture I took of him over the weekend

Tyler John
Thank you to everyone who donated Tyler and supported him on his race.

I did do a little baking this week. Krista gave me 2 silicone baking mats as a present for passing my exams. 

They were perfect for making Oatmeal Raisin cookies. Tyler politely asked that since my exams are over will I start baking again? He is too funny.

Well, that is currently my life in a nutshell. I plan to do some baking tonight but probably wont update you until next week. Krista and I are heading to Florida to see this guy in concert. Dreamy!

Keith Urban

Krista

She has been quite busy preparing for some big things happening in her life at the moment. Her and her boyfriend put in an offer on a house and it was accepted! They are so very exciting and cannot wait to close on it at the end of the month.

Here is a picture of their new abode

Krista also got a new job! She started this last Monday at Thomson Reuters. She was sooo happy to start on a new journey and has been loving her first week.




Krista has been doing more baking then I have. For her last week at her old job she made the infamous Softest Chocolate Chip Cookies.

She also changed it up a little bit and added Reese's Pieces to some of the cookies. They were pretty tasty.

Another thing Krista baked was the Recipe of the Month, only she made it in cake form for our cousin Ashlyn's baptism. Krista didn't like the way the cake look so she refused to take pictures. However, its the taste that counts and let me tell you, to die for!




Vanilla Bean and Strawberries
This picture will have to do because no pictures of the actually cake were taken

The both of us joined a new studio in Woodbury. Its a Pilates studio and so far we are loving it. We have a summer membership so hopefully come September we will have some nice toned arms and legs!

Hopefully once we get back from our weekend in Florida we will be relaxed and ready to start baking again! And just because I can I will leave you with one more picture of Keith Urban.
