latest addictions

I have recently become addicted to some new trends over the past few weeks, nothing bad of course, but some of which are consuming more of my time than they should and are part of the reason I have not been such a faithful blogger.

Addiction #1:  Twitter...follow me @whitabaum ! I still don't completely understand the need for tweeting when you can basically do the same thing on Facebook, but I enjoy it from time to time.

Addiction #2:  Words With Friends and soon to be Hanging With Friends...I initially spent more time playing these games than I did homework, but then I became overwhelmed with the 13 games I had going on at once and now I have backed off a bit. My roommates and I tend to play each other through our iphones while we're sitting in the same room...how cool are we?!

Addiction #3:  Pinterest...now this is something I have been avoiding like the plague. My friend Samantha first introduced me to Pinterest months ago, I glanced at it and knew I would immediately become obsessed. At the time I was swamped with school and knew it would be in my best interest to wait on Pinterest (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it ; ). Well friends, school slowed down just enough for me to start pinning, and just as I thought, I am absolutely addicted! Follow me and I'll follow you!

Addiction #4:  My Camelbak water bottle! I read somewhere that you are suppose to take your body weight, divide the number in half and drink that amount of water in ounces each day. I purchased my Camelbak a while ago and for some reason I have no problem drinking that much water each day when I use my Camelbak-- sometimes I even throw an orange slice in for a little extra vitamin C!

H-A-double L-O-double you-double E-N...

...spells Halloween! I learned that song back in elementary school, and to this day, I still I sing it in my head every time I spell the word HALLOWEEN!

"My name's Forrest, Forrest Gump"...or should I say that was Tyler's name for Halloween...I was Jenny. We did our best to recreate the couple, Tyler even had a Bubba Gump Shrimp hat and I had my mom's 8th grade confirmation dress...we must have been quite convincing because we won the costume contest for best duo at a party here in town, we definitely had fun with our new look that evening!

true love is...

 ...$2.75 wrist-breakers...

...and sharing 6 pack and a pound from TJs...

Brylen's baptism

My 3 month old nephew Brylen James was baptized the other weekend over my fall break. My brother Blake and I are both Godparents along with our cousin Sammie!

 

A lady from church made his outfit, how handsome is he?! I'm in love.

my man can.....cook!

 Tyler has recently cooked me homemade stir fry AND a roast with veggies for supper, how lucky am I?!

recent purchases

 I couldn't resist this golden yellow pea-coat at Old Navy...then again I'm a sucker for anything yellow!

I also couldn't pass up these very gently used Keds look a likes at Goodwill for a whopping $3.99 : )

health food kick

I recently went on a little bit of a health food kick...Cola made this baked fried chicken that was allegedly healthy, it turned out pretty good!

 

I made a couple different kinds of tuna salad...the first one was delicious in a whole wheat tortilla, and the second one was good with sandwich thins : )

 

Fresh peaches and vanilla fro-yo...enough said!

Madison

Wisconsin.

We were able to see many sides of Madison during the three days we spent in Wisconsin for the Husker game. My dad showed us all around the beautiful city on Friday, and we even made our way into the stadium, Camp Randell!

 One of the streets was lined with numerous stand such as this one with food from various ethnic background. We found this one to be quite humorous...My Name is Yon Yonson, I come from Wisconsin!

 Mom enjoyed the garden on top of her bloody mary at State Street Brats!

 My brat at State Street Brats, Wisconsin's infamous Spotted Cow Beer, and of course...cheese curds!

 My mom and I by one of the beautiful lakes that surrounds Madison...we wish Nebraska was #1

 The Capital Building...obviously.

 Fabulous ice cream from Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream-- Food Network has been there a few times!

 Tam and Ron in front of the TAMRON sign, how adorable.

 Tyler and I at College Gameday.

 Our view of the stage for College Gameday.

 COLLEGE GAMEDAY!

 Representing the Blackshirts : )

blog much?

Well hello there friends! Shoot, it has been quite a while since I have blogged, and I am not happy about it, but I am going to do my best to get you caught up on my fabulous life ; )

WE MOVED! 

Now my mom, dad, Stef, and Brylen are nice and cozy in our little 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 1 car garage home in the 'Mont. To make it even better, I found out that I will officially be in Fremont for my school and medical internships next semester, so I will be joining them after finals in December! I cannot wait to be closer to them and Tyler, it'll be the best of both worlds!
