This week is a very exciting week because not only do I get to see my parents, mother in law and brother and sister in law (it's going to be a full house!) I'm also going to a Red Sox(/Mariners) game! We all know how much I love the Red Sox; really all things Boston.
This means that a. I will be absent (unless I get on top of things and am able to schedule some posts) and b. I have to be careful about what I'm cooking for dinner this week. I'm hoping to be both frugal and, of course, cook larger meals because there are a lot of people to feed!
Here's what we're eating this week:
Monday: My mom and Geoff's mom arrive (my parents are arriving separately)
Dinner out (we have an excellent Amazon Local deal for sushi, but it's more than Geoff and I can eat alone so we're going out with the moms)
Tuesday: My dad arrives
French dip sandwiches from the crock pot and corn on the cob
Wednesday: Grilled chicken thighs and grilled vegetables
Thursday: Late late arrival of brother and sister in law; after dinner.
Since this is our new weigh-in day, we are considering BBQ for dinner with the families (eating out)
Friday: Eat out (before the game)
Saturday: Geoff's mom and sister will leave in the afternoon, leaving us back down to 5 for dinner. Hoping to make sourdough pizza. Possibly grilled, but we'll see. The last time we tried that it didn't turn out so well.
Sunday: Hopefully something simple like pancakes.





I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!
