soup, cookies, and the best jeans ever

i made this minestrone soup last week and it was delicious. i made a big pot and it lasted us throughout the week.

yesterday i decided to make meringues yesterday, mostly because i remembered liking them and there was only four ingredients. talk about time consuming. but they ended up so delicious, i'm talking eat 15 in one day delicious. they are fluffy, chocolatey, and chewy. they are so light you can eat a lot, hence the 15. this is also why i rarely make treats. here is the recipe.

now if you need some jeans, run, don't walk, to nordstrom's. they are considered jeggings but i don't think they are as light as jeggings. they are the comfiest jeans. i wear them constantly. the brand name is jolt and drum roll, they are only $40. on our annual christmas shopping trip, all of the girls got these jeans, they are flattering on everyone. don't mind my sunday night attire. or my face.

who else is excited january is almost over?!, worst month of the year by far. bring on february.

moving on

in the past couple of years we have seen many of our friends move on and out of the college scene. it is always sad to see them go and i'll be honest, i'm anxious for our turn. just this week nate's cousin erin and her cute little fam moved to arizona. i'm so excited for all the great things happening to them. i've been lucky to have erin as a friend and a great example to me. they will surely be missed and we will especially miss seeing adorable little cora!

p.s. so far this hairstyle has been deemed the worst to grow out! here we go...
