Update: Class, New house, and more

So, since I last posted, I've moved back to the States. I'm currently residing in Maryland, but I'm only an hour from D.C. That part is cool, I'll admit, but in my short time here I've realized that I'm not really an East Coast Girl, or at least a Maryland girl. But, we'll see.

My SO and I got married, and it's been an interesting first few months. We have a house, and we have moved in 99% (there's still that one box lurking in the basement somewhere). We are next to a couple of really fun neighbors, and some not-so-fun neighboors at the same time. Give and Take right?

We also have adopted a dog!! She is a 3 year old boxer, with lots of energy that likes to drink water, sleep, eat veggies, and chase after deer. K and I are so happy that we got her, (her name is Lucy) and we found out that she went to the same vet we took her to, and the receptionist was happy to see that she had gone to a good home. Me too!!

I've been doing good on the vegan front, and I've even dipped into raw veganism while it's still pretty warm. I really like zucchinni noodles, and I love having all the raw, fresh foods!!

Here's my recipe for this entry:

As-close-to-Authentic Guacamole:

• 2 ripe, but not black avocadoes
• 1 medium-to large tomato, pick a juicy one!
• 1/4 white onion
• 1 jalepeno (optional**)
• Salt**
• 1 lime

1. Gut out the avocadoes and stir to break up the chunks
2. Dice the tomatoes and onion, and jalepeno; stir in
3. Juice the whole lime, but only add in about half, and about a Tablespoon of salt; stir
4. According to your taste, stir in more lime or salt, remembering your chips might be salty

**I don't use jalepeno, but I do use a spicy salt instead

I'm working on making a budget, so I'll let you know how that goes!
