2 Months and Counting

So we've been married for 2 months now. It doesn't seem like that much time has passed.  Our wedding feels like it was a few days ago. We still haven't gotten everything done and back to normal yet. Married life is better then anything I could have imagined it would be. I never knew I could be completely happy just sitting on a couch watching my Husband(still love getting to say that) play video games. Or cook me dinner. He's too good to me. However, I'm a hopeless procrastinator and since we rarely have the same days off together I keep pushing things to the back of my mind like finishing thank you notes. Oops.
But now I need to get my butt in gear because I'm leaving Monday(very short notice) for California to work for a little while. A desk job for once. Right now it looks like I'll only be up there 2-3 weeks. The bummer part is Matt has to stay here for work while I'm gone. We're hoping to work something out for a weekend but it's definitely going to be a new challenge for us. I've been trying to get a new job for a long time now and while it's not ideal timing, it's a great opportunity, is temporary, and will really help us out in the long run.
At least I love the area I'll be in, Matt will have his Madden '11 coming out next week to keep him busy, and I'll have plenty of time without a vehicle to spend hours working on this lovely blog. Maybe I'll give ya'll some wedding pictures soon. I know you're all so excited.

(side note, I'm really trying to refrain from lol's and emoticons, so sorry if my sarcasm comes across awkward in my blogging. I wonder if they have lol-anonymous.)
Stay cool friends, it's been ridiculously hot lately. 110 degrees is not my idea of a good time.

Return to baking

It's been awhile since I've baked something. I don't cook to save my life(I can cook I just choose not to) but I love to bake. So I decided to tackle a baking project I've been eyeing for awhile, Kahlua cake! So I went out and got a bundt pan, which was more expensive then I thought it would be, and I had a half bottle of Kahlua, I figured that would be plenty. Here's the recipe if you want all the particulars. Easy Kahlua Cake Recipe
So just a note, 1 Cup of Kahlua is more than you think. But I managed to use a cup and save a little bit for the glaze, unfortunately Matt didn't know I was saving the little bit in the bottle and I had to rescue it.  So I ended up with a bit less for the glaze.
The only thing I would recommend to do differently then the recipe is not letting it bake so long. Or if you do keep an eye on it. This is also the first time I've used a bundt pan so I let the edges get a little brown, but the inside was perfect.
The Kahlua taste was stronger then I expected it to be but the cake turned out really good. I want to try this recipe with other things like Baileys maybe.  And work on the glaze too. But I'll definitely be making this again.
Here are the pictures...

I forgot to take a picture until after we'd made a dent in it. A pretty big dent for two people I'll admit.

And London wanting a piece for herself.

That's all for tonight. More later on us, our high maintenance dog, and life as it is right now.
