iowa state fair 2013

sorry i haven't been blogging a lot
lately, [i missed two weeks of
blogging :X ] so much has been going on
with me and my life!

let's have a little chat about
this past last week.

the iowa state fair 2013 has officially
come and gone. i can't say that i love
it but i can't say that i hate it because
i love the food but i hate it being so
crowded. but yes, the food is really all
i care about.

i feel terrible because i haven't taken
any pictures or anything, i have no proof.
[i need to make this a habit.]

on my food journey, i had my favorite hot
beef sundae and pineapple whip! i'm not a huge
fan of corn dogs but i knew i had to eat
one. i also ate a turkey leg, blooming onion,
caramel apple funnel cake, walking taco
and drank some lemonade!

the caramel apple funnel cake was new
for this year. it was pretty delicious!
it tasted somewhere in between a
cinnamon bun and a freshly baked cake.

i might've gain a pound or two!
i have almost one whole year to shed it all,
just to gobble up all the fair food again. :]

date nights in a jar [july]

hello hello!
july has come to an end, so
once again, here are our date
nights for july! yippee!



1. explore the east village
this is a cute little vintage-y
town in our downtown district with
small local shops. we stopped at a
dog shoppe called jett and monkey's.
clothing stores called aimee,
village boutique, and peep toe.

2. donut date
chris and i had a hard time with this one,
we tried to go anywhere but krispy kreme
and ended up right at krispy kreme!
everywhere we tried was closed! anyway,
we got our dozen donuts plus 4 free! win!

3. skipped this one
[we were too busy] :( [we do one date night a
week every month]

4. explore west glen
west glen wasn't as big as we thought it
was. we went to a few boutiques one was called
mint la where i scored a cute neon dress
and a scarf. and the other was called bella
boutique where i scored another cute black dress!

until next month, stay tuned!
