Do you have plans for New Year’s Eve yet? We still don’t. Last year, like a really good person, I ditched my fiancé. What a dick move. But it was totally worth it. I was suppose to head to a party with him, but after going to the first night of Decadence, I just HAD to go the second night. It was effing awesome. Well this year I decided to be a better person and hang out with him to make up for being a sh*tty person. So I’m heading there tonight but not on New Year’s Eve. Gotta get my dance on at least once this year! But then we still don’t have plans for NYE. Fail.
Anywho, I started thinking about what has happened this year, other than being a bad fiancé, and it’s pretty cool to look back and see all the changes that have happened in both my life and the blog. Wanna take a stroll down 2015 memory lane with me? Come on, let’s do it!
Here’s some stuff that happened in my personal life:
- I got engaged!!
- We bought our first home!
- We took engagement photos
- I went on a weekend trip with my best friend, eating our way through Portland and trying on wedding dresses!

I am ditching my guy to do Decadence tonight as well haha. Are you dressing up again this year? I’m the worst and still haven’t ironed that out, but it will somehow include my light up bear hood. That’s all I really need.
We had these last night. They were delicious!! And so simple to make. Thanks!
I’ve made these twice. Once as chicken wings and once as a glaze on baked chicken breasts. Both times were delicious.
Do the drumsticks have the skins off or on?
