Wow, it's been awhile since I've updated my blog! So much has happened since Kevin deployed. I am currently back in school working on my Bachelor's degree in Radiologic Sciences. I graduate in April 2012. I'm hoping to direct commission in the AirForce, but will settle in the Army if I have to. In July 2011, I went with my unit to Fairbanks, Alaska, which was A-MAZING! We went river rafting, and got to visit Denali National Park. In August 2011, I joined a crossfit gym here in Colorado Springs, and I absolutely love everything about it. Thanks to Elisa! In November 2011, I flew with my unit to Vegas for the Veterans Day Parade and had a wonderful time. Kevin is now back from deployment and together we decided to live a healthier life style by going to crossfit (when we can) and eating healthier by eating paleo. My friend Jessica bought me a paleo book called Everyday Paleo. Below are some pictures of our paleo meals that were just delish!

This morning we cooked these egg cupcakes, which taste just like an omelet:


For lunch, we made Wild-Salmon Salad with a citrus salad dressing. This salad has so much flavor! Definitely making this again soon!










For our snack, we cut up some slices of avocado and snacked on some beef jerky.










For dinner tonight, we made Spice Rub Slow-Cooked Chicken. It smells so good!











Because I work graveyards, I had to plan ahead and make my meals ahead of time for the week so that I can make time for crossfit and arrive on time for work. Here are some meals we have already made for this week:

These are called "Bugs in a boat." It's a snack that consists of celery filled with almond butter, sprinkled with coconut flakes and raisins.











These are called Easy Steak Skewers. Very simple to make!










Until next time! Have a great week!
