Pre-Wedding One Year Anniversary!

One year from today I will be marrying the love of my life and best friend! I can't believe that we have already been engaged for eight months, so I can only imagine how fast the next twelve will go.

We have accomplished a lot since our enagement but I know this is only the beginning. Here is a list of a few vendors we already have.

Church: St. Ann Parish, Quincy

Reception Site: Raffael's Walpole

Photographer: Ali Rosa Photography

DJ: DJ Ramu

Florist: Judy's Village Flowers

Wedding Dress: Morilee by Madeline Gardner 

I know we have done a lot so far but know there is still so much to do. I am looking forward to enjoying every moment of the next year and the planning we get to do for our special day!

Make way for Ducklings

Tuesday I took a half day from work and my sister,  mom and Abigail came into the city to meet me. Once we made our rounds to say hi to everyone at work we headed over to Rock Bottom for lunch. For an appetizer we started off with the Southwest Egg Rolls (sorry no picture we were starving). For my meal I went with the Laredo Burger but instead of beef I substituted the veggie burger with onion rings. I am a sucker for onion rings so I just had to get them. Everything was delicious especially the veggie burger.

Once we finished lunch we headed over to the Swan Boats to take Abigail on her first ride, she loved it!


This will now become a tradition for us to bring Abigail in for a Swan Boat ride before the end of the summer every year because it is something my mom did with my sister and I growing up.




Once our nice boat ride was over we walked over to the Make Way for Duckling statues so we could snap a few photos with Abigail. She wasn't too into this but I got one at least.

Question: What traditions do you have with your family?

WIAW

Happy Hump Day and welcome back to another WIAW thanks to Jenn at Peas and Crayons.

Peas and Crayons

Last night after a sweaty gym session I headed to the store to pick something up for dinner. I wasn't exactly sure what I was in the mood for so I grabbed some chicken. As I was walking around I thought to make honey mustard panko chicken with some asparagus.

First I put some Boars Head honey mustard on each side of the chicken then lightly coated it with panko bread crumbs and baked them in the oven on 350 for about 25 minutes.


Once I put the chicken in the oven I prepared the asparagus with a little sea salt, pepper and lemon juice.



For a quick thrown together dinner this was delicious!
