Abby & Brandon’s Blog

It’s been almost 2 months since my last blog and I thought I better update.
I spent the morning with my sister-in-law, Amanda. We had coffee and chatted for a couple hours, covering a wide variety of topics (like most women). We did a little shopping, oooed and ahhhhed over cute office supplies and picked up [...]

I am completely obsessed with people. I am always interested in a tid bit of information about someone, whether it be an engagement, a new baby, news on who they are dating, their new job, and anything else. In other words, I am nosy. I am that person that stalks on facebook and follows statuses [...]

I haven’t blogged in a long time and I’m feeling so overwhelmed with all the things I should blog about that I don’t know what to say!
I’m at Caribou (of course) because this is where I feel creative. I am here to write up a little memoir about a teacher of mine who is being [...]

Life as of late has been like a Merry Go Round that I can’t get off.
A month ago I quit a nanny job I had only been working at for two weeks. It had been more stressful than I could handle. I jumped back on the job searching band wagon and dropped off applications at [...]

We are working on packing up our apartment so things are getting pretty messy and the fridge is getting pretty empty…which left me to invent something for us to eat tonight.
I pulled some chicken out to thaw and figured, if anything, I could simply bake it and mix up a box of Pasta Roni. Later [...]

I haven’t done any new recipes this last week! I started a nanny job last week but found out quickly that it wasn’t a good fit for me. This week was my last week there and I haven’t had anytime for grocery shopping or cooking so I will have to start catching up!
Brandon and I [...]

Tonight I made Chow Mein Hot Dish for supper.
I just started a new job this week as a nanny and I have to get up at 5:30 and be there by 6:50. My commute is about 20 minutes…although all this snow has made it longer. I get done at 3:30, but a day with two [...]

The new recipe countdown continues! Well it actually continued on Friday night, but I haven’t gotten around to blogging it until now.
Friday evening’s recipe was Saucy Beef and Rice or you can use noodles. I went to noodle route for a couple reasons.
1. I am not a huge fan of rice…it is so dry
2. I [...]

We watched Julie and Julia with my parents and brother and sister-in-law to be last weekend. Brandon and I had already watched it once, but it was fun to watch it again! Meryl Streep did such a great job.
Earlier that day I had a conversation with my mom and Mer (my brother’s soon-to-be wife) about [...]

Today was a great day. Some things were not so great but looking back over the day right now I just feel happy. Brandon was home sick today-not such a great thing. I got up at 8:30 and got ready for the day, then sat down and watched The Fox 9 Buzz and The Bonnie [...]
