Neil's Donuts

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I MISS THE FOOD IN UTAH!! Utah has such good food places. This past weekend we decided to explore a bit and go to a new donut shop. It was a bit of a drive from where we live, but hey. Anything to get out of the house, right? 😂This road is one of my favorite to drive in Connecticut.Ok so J loved his donut (obviously). His consensus was, "If you live close,...

The Best Vegetarian Burger

Ok, so this is something new I am going to try doing. When I announced on my Facebook that I was going back to being vegetarian after a week of eating meat, I had a few people suggest I share my favorite vegetarian recipes. So here I am!Let me preface this by saying: I don't like beans, so you won't see a whole ton of that over here. I am a big fan of "fake meat" because I still get cravings for meat...

RIP Trixie

Snow In New England

I guess it doesn't really snow here before Christmas, but then after Christmas we get a lot of snow? Honestly I'm not sure because I thought where we are (by the beach) we are supposed to get mostly rain? Well, WHATEVER. Because I love the snow and it has been snowing and I'LL TAKE IT!!! 💙This is the street we live on. We are in the "downtown" area of a really small, Connecticut town. It's maybe...

Snow Day On The Train

Ok one of the things I love about living in the northeast is THE SNOW DAYS. Like we will get the tiniest amount of snow and everything is canceled. Last week school was canceled on Thursday and Friday! Can you imagine how happy those kids were lol. J got to work from home on Thursday because "the snow was bad" and he was so pumped. Then, on Sunday we woke up to find out church was cancelled!! CAN...

Valentine's Day Adventure

Ugh I need to get back to using this blog as a journal. To be honest, life is pretty boring out here in Connecticut. We just got to work (J) and school (me) and then come home lol. But, there are little details I want to remember every once a while!So yesterday was Valentine's Day and honestly I didn't make any plans. Sometimes I feel like there are so many holidays to make a big deal over, and while...

A Happy List: 153

(Keeping this one short because it's 10:30pm and I still have tons of reading to do before class tomorrow.)Trixie is at a kennel right now while my mom is in Hawaii. The guy there has been taking such good care of her! She wasn't doing well the first few days so he made her chicken noodle soup and a bed by the heater. It's actually kind of sad because she might think my mom is getting rid of her (the...

Shake Shack Burgers For The First Time!

K so if you missed it, I am no long a vegetarian. I am trying to eat all the meat people say is the best. So, we headed to Shake Shack in Westport for some burgs!GUYS. To be COMPLETELY honest, I don't see what the big deal is??? Like I would rather eat a hamburger from McDonald's than Shake Shack? It was just kind of flavorless? I don't know, maybe I got a weird one or something haha. Oh, and I've...

A Day In New York

I keep bringing my camera with me to school, but I never take photos for some reason? Well, I don't have much of a break anyway haha, but here are some pictures from a few weeks ago! I debated for DAYS over whether or not to go to orientation. Finally, Monday night, I was like, "Ok, I'll go I'll go." Tuesday morning we leave the house at 6:15 am and I catch the 7:00 train to New York.Halfway through...
