Part One of my favorites from 2014:
1.
My Garden- Last summer so was incredibly wet that I had a sad growing season. This summer was just wonderful, however. I did not intend on any of my watermelon actually making it but I had 3 and they were great (once I figured out how to tell if they were ripe or not). I also grew my first round of peppers and eggplant. I was very hesitant on even growing the eggplant because I always thought I didn't like it but I was wrong! We made a lot of baba ghannouj and ratatouille with it. I also had an abundance of bruschetta and pesto with all of the sweet basil I have growing year-round. Looking to grow some amazing food? Look no further than the best seeds available:
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.
2.
Olympic Weightlifting- Okay, I'll admit it. I knew nothing about this sport until I met my husband (who just happens to be a great coach who really loves the sport). But it is really, really fun. I love feeling like I am getting better every workout. And most importantly, learning a new sport when you are older feels different than when you're younger and just want to be really good and fast. I just want to be strong and healthy and learn how to do lifts correctly, so I don't get hurt. And it is such a great outlet for all of that energy from a hard day at work...hard day at school...hard day at home. So, if you're reading this- thanks Love for the introduction
to "your weightlifting thing" because it is awesome.
3.
New Orleans, LA- I've been to NOLA two years in a row and just cannot get over how amazing it is. I've made a Top 10 List of my favorite NOLA happenings, which I will share soon, but it is really difficulty to list only 10 things about that city to love because there are hundreds of things that come to mind. The food, the music, the buildings, the streetcars, the festivals...I just can't get enough. So, my goal is to get back for a third year in a row. I dare say...it might be my favorite city in the entire USA. Boston, MA is a close second.
