UPDATES and summer plans!!
So this is what is happening with US!...
I have been working at the European Wax Center in Tempe Market place where we just do waxing. (come see me if you need to be waxed!)
Curtis is doing lots of things and is keeping busy!! He is almost done with real estate school (for the second time, he has it in UT too) and has been doing some real estate. He is starting his own ADT alarm company with his brother-in-law, Luke, and I am so proud of them for working so hard on getting it started! They are naming their company FIERCE SECURITY.
So if anyone wants to go sell this summer or even for a few weeks let him know! They are starting out in Kansas City and probably other places?? I hear they are paying pretty well... I might even want to go out there!!:)
We are still living in our gilbert apartment but hopefully someday will get a house while the rates are still so low! Curtis will be gone half the summer selling so I think its on hold for now!
A little shout out to my hubby for working soo hard!!!
Let me just say how much I love my husband and how proud of him for setting goals and acheiving them! He inspires me in lots of ways!! We are so happy where we are at in our lives and hope to work hard and play hard! Married Life is so fun! Don't get me wrong we have our days (he puts up with a lot:)) but overall its been a fun adventure with lots of learning experiences!!!
(these are from his birthday but thought they were cute)

Ingrid Michaelson's Flourless cake!
So my mom found this recipe that happens to be one of Ingrid Michaelson's favorite chocolate desserts.. and now one of mine too! I made it and It was soo yummy! Curt even agrees and I thought I would share the recipe. It is seriously so easy.
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
7 oz really good (45–50% cocoa) semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar, divided
4 eggs, separated
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Stir together half the sugar and four yolks; add to melted chocolate concoction.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites; slowly add remaining 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold mixture into chocolate. Pour into a greased 9-inch cake pan.
3. Bake 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs on it. Cool 30 minutes before removing from pan. Dust with powdered sugar.
Serves 12. Per serving: 270 calories, 18g fat, 100mg cholesterol, 105mg sodium, 26g carbs, 3g protein
ENJOY
Ingrid's Tips:
o “To make individual servings, substitute nine ramekins or small oven-safe coffee cups and bake 30 minutes.”
o ”You’ll need a good 10-speed mixer to beat the egg whites into nice stiff peaks that will make the cake light and fluffy—unlike my first attempt, when I used a very old mixer.”

the Birthday boy and Holiday fun!!
Birthday boy!!!! Curt turned 26 on January 9th. I swear I'm not that ghetto about the one large candle.. just forgot them!
We went to Cali for his birthday and were able to see his brother and sister in law! so fun because we never see them!
I think birthdays are so fun but Curt says they aren't fun anymore for him because he's tipping the scale to his upper 20s. Happy birthday babe love you!!!!
For Christmas we went up to UT for a week to spend time with Curtis's family and we ended up staying in AZ for Christmas! Here are a few pics.. or a lot actually
YUM
This is Curt's mom's fireplace!
So for New Years we dressed up and went to cheesecake and ordered cheesecake!! We love that place so much that HAD to be the best way to celebrate!! After that we went to the casino because Curt heard there was something cool there. .but turned out it was super lame and so we just drove around tempe and then watched the countdown at my parents!! It was fun but next year I want to be in new york!!!
