Hello, Again!

It has been a VERY long time since my last blog.  I have been busy and my computer has been broken, so I have had no way to blog.  In the next week or so, I will upload some pics from our trip to the Glendale for the National Championship game.  War Eagle!

For my New Year's resolution, I didn't really make one.  I kind of did the usual:  eat healthier, work out, spend less money, blah blah.  I have decided to run in a 10K and possibly a 1/2 marathon much later this year.  That is my new goal.  I had knee surgery about a year ago and have not really run much since then.  I am a little worried that I will do alot of training and then my knee will act up and I won't be able to do it in the end.  So, I am taking baby steps and following Danny Haralson's Couch to 10K program.  For week 1, you alternate run/walk for 1 mile and then stop.  I know that sounds like a little, but I was tired after that!  Isn't that sad?  I know in 10 weeks I will look back and be like "Wow, just a mile?" 

Enough for now.  I promise to be back more frequently.
Cheers, Hayley

Who would have thought?

So, while I was working out today I decided to be lazy and get on the bike.  I reached for a magazine and my choices were Forbes magazines, an InStyle I had already read, an old People I had already read (I'm a celebrity gossip junkie) and a few other boring looking magazines.  So, I decided on a Southern Living.  I had been wanting to try some new recipes out on the hubby and thought I'd take a looksie.  Boy, was I impressed.  I always associated this magazine with people of my mother's generation, but I am hooked.  I think I might even subscribe.  You know the dynamics of your life have changed when you get excited about buying cookware, vacuums, and looking at recipes instead of going shopping for trendy clothes.  Well, I still get excited about that too, but that's a whole 'nother thing.  Back to cooking- there was a recipe for a twist on Tomato soup with pimento cheese sandwiches.  Anyone who knows me knows that I always eat grilled cheese with my tomato soup so that I can dip it in the soup.  I am also a fan of pimento cheese but am deeply loyal to my mom's recipe.  I decided I would try a combination of both recipes and can I say "WOW!"  Michael loved it, so I think we've started a new tradition with our tomato soup:  pimento cheese sandwiches. 
Here's the pimento cheese recipe I used:
block of extra sharp cheddar cheese
Pimentos
Mayonnaise to taste
Pinch of sugar
Dash of worchestershire sauce (taken from new recipe)

Cheers, Hayley

My first post!

So, I am new to the blogging world.  I have always admired those who take the time to write out (or type out) their thoughts.  I have never really been one to keep a journal, but view the blogging world as a way to keep friends and family in the loop, and those curious something to read about.  So this is it.  Nothing too exciting, but I will try to frequently update how things are in the newlywed world and the Mobile area, post useful info (or what I find useful), and just speaking what's on my mind.  Enjoy!
