I'm really excited that Saint Patrick's Day is going to be coming up soon! I know that its a few weeks away but I look forward to a hearty corned beef and cabbage dinner every year! My mom makes the best corned beef that I have ever had! She slow cooks it all day in beer so by the afternoon it is so tender and yummy :) This year we are going to have a huge party at my house and invite some neighbors and friends. Usually we just have a small dinner at home but this year is different and I cannot wait! My boyfriend's parents are going to come over and have some authentic corned beef since they aren't Irish and never made it the way my mom has. My family is not really authentic about any one nationality, but we celebrate all of the holidays from my mom and my dad's sides of the family.
It's a little late...but I also love Valentine's Day! This year I was in class most of the day, but after class my boyfriend and I made dinner then went out for ice cream, then afterwards we watched a movie and hung out. He got my flowers with sparkles on them and my dad (my forever Valentine <3 ), sent me some flowers that were called "Cotton Candy"! He said it reminded him of Katy Perry, who I am love! My dad is such a mush and I love him! Holidays are not always the simplest times, but they bring people together and give you the chance to show people how much you love them. Even if that means cooking them corned beef!
This little cutie pie looks just like my dog Jack...maybe he'll look like this for his first St. Patrick's Day with my family this year!
