I have fallen madly in love with The Virginia Chutney Co. and I just don’t know what to do with myself. For last month’s Foodie Pen Pal program, I sent Casey a jar of The Virginia Chutney Co.’s CranFiggy Chutney and just had to try out their chutney myself. With each jar of chutney came…

Poor Neal. He’s hasn’t been feeling too well this past week and ever since the engagement he’s been super sick. I love taking care of him though. Although I hate seeing him sick, I just love how some men act when they’re sick. They’re so incredibly sweet, needy, and cuddly… I just love it. I…

Today started out just like any other day with a 6 mile run! The weather was absolutely amazing. The air was crisp, the sun was warm, and thankfully the trail wasn’t terribly crowded because the Army 10 Miler was going on. My legs on the other hand, were not in the game. From the start…
