If you’re in the mood to read sweet and mushy gushy love stories, definitely check out the comments section of this morning’s post. Goosebumps!
And speaking of love… guess who’s back?
Guess who’s back,
Back again,
Sadie’s back,
Tell a friend
Holla, Eminem!
Sadie is clearly soakin’ up all the love she can from Ryan right now.
My mom brought Sadie back to Ocala today around 4:30 p.m. (my family watched her while we were in Savannah) and hung out with me for an hour and a half or so before heading back home. I wish she could’ve stayed longer, but even 90 minutes with my mom is better than nothing. She’s the best and just being around her relaxes me and makes me happy.
After my mom left, Ryan and I played with Sadie in the backyard for a little bit before heading inside for dinner.
I miss eating dinner in the daylight already!
We had ham steak with roasted green beans and caramelized onions. Ryan absolutely loves ham steak which I find oddly humorous. It’s just about the easiest thing to make, but he always seems so impressed when a meal involves ham steak.
I just wish I would’ve thought to make a brown sugar glaze before dinner.
Off to hang with my little family and grab something sweet for dessert. I’m so glad we’re all back together again. The house felt so quiet and looked too clean without Sadie rambunctiously running around and throwing toys everywhere.

Tell me about it. It’s now dark here at 4:30pm. So sad, I miss the sun.
Mallory says
It’s so sweet how much you express your adoration for your mom! Glad you got to see her for a bit.
I’ve never been a ham steak person but you sure make it look tasty.
Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie says
Its so funny because I am a country and pop music kind of girl but every now and then I just have to listen to Eminem. He’s awesome and his new stuff is great. Glad you’re back home with your family, I hope you have a great relaxing night!
Heather says

erica says
yay for sadie’s return!
we’ve noticed a trend with our dog. if one of us leaves on a solo-trip, he’ll be SO excited upon our return.
but if we go on a trip together, he is upset and ignores us for a day or two.
dogs are so funny 🙂

Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says

I’ve never made a ham steak before! Do you just stick it on the oven, and you’re good to go? Looks delicious!

It sounds like Sadie is giving you good practice for when you become a momma to human babies 🙂

Nothing’s better than reuniting with your dog after being away! They love they give is heart warming 🙂 I love being with my mom too! She’s one of my best friends.

Sylvia says
Haha! I do too now 😀
Sylvia says
Awww, pup hugs are awesome! I miss my furry kids (two boxers) so much every time I have to go out of town. On a side note: it’s awesome what a great relationship you have with your mama. I call mine almost every morning and at first she wouldn’t stay on the phone with me. Now when I dont call she says she misses me and needs my calls 😀 Have a good night Julie!
Coco says
It is truly amazing how much cleaner a house seems without the furry rugrats around.. Glad you guys are back to Sadie snuggles!
Hope says
Aw! I’m so glad that Sadie is back with her little family! 🙂 The pictures of her and Ryan are too cute! I can’t wait until I am able to get a dog. For now I’m content with visiting my family dog.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
Mmm, I love ham. My grandparents get one from Honey Baked for Christmas every year and it is pretty much the greatest thing ever 😀
Melissa says
Too sweet! Our dogs are such loyal creatures. I love the feeling I get when I walk in the door and my fur baby is there tail wagging! Priceless.
Shannon (Healthiful Balance) says
Yay! Sadie’s back! 🙂
Your dinner looks soo good!
Sarah says
I just had to comment that I love listening to Eminem as I run…so great!
Courtney says
You should do a post on your ham steak. I’m sure my BF would love it, but I’m not even sure what it looks like? I’m imagining a giant turkey sized bag o ham.
Erica says
Awwww, I just LOVE Sadie posts! She is so darn cute 🙂
