January

Oh my goodness, so far I am not doing good with my New Year's resolution to write more of these posts!!!  This is only my 2nd one of 2019... NOT a great start!!  Haha.  I'll try to do better.  I am doing GREAT with my resolution of cooking more though!!  We've been eating at home a LOT more.  I'm doing pretty good (but not great) at my resolution to eat more vegetables, and I'm NOT doing well with my resolution to exercise more.  So... I've definitely got some work to do!! 

Our weather has been SO back and forth this month!  We've had single digits and snow, and we've had 60 degrees and rain.  Today we are getting snow, and I think tomorrow too... and I think Thursday is supposed to be crazy cold (like 0 degrees F or maybe negative??). 

We've gone into the city 3 times this month!  Crazy.  We were there for January 1 (Mummer's Parade) which I already posted about in the earlier post this month, and then we went into the city again on January 5th for dinner at a VERY fancy restaurant for Kevin's aunt's 60th birthday, and then we were in the city again on January 19th for a fundraiser at Monk's Cafe!  Monk's is an amaazing bar in the city that also has some really amazing food, and they were having a fundraiser to raise money for the Camp Fire Relief Fund!  They were donating 100% of all draft beer sales to the Camp Fire Relief Fund. It was totally making me emotional to see all the cash everyone was donating to the fundraiser.

Timmy, Kevin, and me at the Monk's Cafe fundraiser! 

These were the taps at the front bar, but they also had a lot more taps at the back bar!  They had a bunch of cool Sierra Nevada beers there for the event, and other beers like Pliny the Elder and Allagash were also part of the fundraiser! They also had 3 versions of the Resilience IPA from different breweries, and it was really cool to taste the difference between the 3 versions! 

City Hall!  I love this building so much. 

Boathouse Row!  They had all the lights green to support the Eagles.  

 Towards the beginning of January we also went to a brewery very close to our house called La Cabra, because they had Resilience IPA (this was before we even knew Monk's was going to have a fundraiser!), but it was already all gone!  So, we ended up just hanging out and having lunch and a beer or two. 

La Cabra!  It's a great little brewery.  

Guinness has been loving the winter weather we have been getting!  He looooves snow so much.  

 And nothing makes Guinness as tired as playing in the snow!!  He always passes out after running around in the snow.

That's pretty much our January!!  Lots of crazy weather, and lots of trips into the city.  Who's excited for the Super Bowl this weekend??  I REALLY don't want the Patriots to win.... I hate the Patriots, and I hate Tom Brady.  So, I will DEFINITELY be rooting for the Rams!  They've had a crazy amazing season, so it would be awesome to see them finish it off with a Super Bowl win.  Fingers crossed!  I still have to figure out what to make for our Super Bowl food!!  I have zero ideas right now... 

This weekend is also Guinness's birthday!!  Our sweet boy is going to be 6 years old.  Where does the time go?!  

I hope you all have a great rest of your week, and weekend!!  Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Adriana today!!!
