Our little family is back together again!
We missed our crazy little lady! She has such energy and personality and adds so much to our lives, so not having her with us for the past two weeks has left a bit of a void. Thankfully Sadie doesn’t hold grudges and was as affectionate and clingy as ever.
Dinner
Ryan and I arrived at my parents’ house in St. Pete a little after 7 p.m.
My mom had dinner waiting and we sat down to a delicious meal of ribs and sweet potatoes.
I went back for two more ribs. They were so tender and full of flavor.
You know dinner in this house doesn’t come without dessert!
Cupcakes from The Fresh Market had all of us salivating.
I quartered the cupcakes and we all shared. I ate the equivalent to 1.5 cupcakes… maybe two by the time we actually got up from the table after hanging around chatting.
Time to head outside to check out the meteor shower! My mom follows space blogs (how cute is she!?) and it outside with Sadie on the dock right now hoping to see something so I’m off to join her!
Fun fact: Ryan went to space camp as a kid. I love him.
Jenna says
Your hair looks so pretty that way! My mother totally salivates over/swears by the fresh market cupcakes. She and my grandmother freeze them to avoid eating them and then hack into them semi-frozen.
Emma @ Microcosm of Life says
Yay for Sadie reunion! Cupcakes and a meteor shower are definitely appropriate ways to celebrate!
Brooke says
When I saw the title, I knew this was going to be about Sadie 🙂 YAY!
Presley @ Run Pretty says
I saw an amazing meteorite tonight. It burned forever!
And I think I need a cupcake now.
Sarah says

Such a beautiful pup! <3 Same adjective for both your hair & those cupcakes 🙂
Laura @ Backstage Balance says
Aren’t puppy kisses the best?
That’s adorable that your Mom follows space blogs, and that Ryan went to Space Camp. I always wanted to go! Remember Space Camp, the movie? I totally just rented that DVD and made my boyfriend watch it with me!
Lee @ in the pink of condition says
You and Ryan are seriously the cutest couple EVER. Like seriously 🙂
Efka says
so happy for you guys!
Hopefully move is smooth.
Alisa @ Running with Knives says
One of the best life lessons we can learn from dogs is to forgive and forget easily. It’s so hard for us to move on, but dogs do it in a matter of seconds.
Corrie Anne says
Space camp – tehe. That’s CUTE!
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
Never thought about space blogs existing, haha. Sadie’s face looks so cute~like she knows she’s being spoiled 🙂

Those cupcakes look outrageous. I’m going to have to get some next time I’m at the one near my parent’s house. What flavors were they?
katie says
I forget how amazing fresh market cupcakes are! I have seen them there once before and was blown away by how yummy they looked! Glad you guys are back with Sadie! Not long before you are all together again like before!!

In Ryan’s defense, Space Camp was a really big deal when we were in school 🙂 I’m jealous.
Bee Goes Bananas says
Yoir little family is so adorable! I’m so glad yo could see Sadie again!
Erin @ The Grass Skirt says
I love how Ryan went to Space Camp! It was always the prize on Double Dare, and I used to want to win it so badly! Glad that your family is reunited. 🙂
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Glad to see the little family is all back together! I always miss my puppy when I leave for a long time. Space camp?! that actually sounds like fun to me 🙂
Krystina (Organically Me) says
I have to say that I love your relationship with food. So many bloggers feel so restrictive (I know I used to be!) but to see someone not fret about eating (delicious looking) ribs or some greasy hotel eggs is really, really refreshing.
Alicia says
I am so glad sadie is back! I missed seeing her 🙂 I went to space camp too! It was a blast!
Gen says
Sooo glad sadie’s back! 😀 That dinner looks fantastic!
Hillary says
It’s 9 am, and those cupcakes have me drooling. I’m that girl.
Cait's Plate says
HAHA. OH my gosh. I absolutely love that he went to space camp as a kid -that’s incredible. Was it like “Sarah Tuttle’s Space Camp” that Ross, Joey and Chandler did for Sarah after Ross broke her legs? Haha
Those cupcakes look phenomenal. There are no words.
PS – My boyfriend is in love with Sadie and just thinks she’s the cutest dog ever 🙂
angie @ ohblessherheart.wordpress.com says
Aw, Sadie!
Julie, please tell me about the top you’re wearing! Or is it a dress? I’m obsessed with one-shoulder things lately for some reason.
Marcy says
It is sooo sweet that Ryan even closes his eyes when He kiises Sadie!!! You can tell She loves it!!!!
<3 <3
Brittany @ A Spoonful of Peanut Butter says
Sadie is so cute! Glad you finally got to see her! I can’t imagine life without my dog in it.
Sherri says
You three are adorrrrable!
Space camp? Jeez, I love him too hahah.
Claire says
Julie that is one of the CUTEST pics I have ever seen of you and Ryan! You look stunning 🙂 Glad you guys are all back together again…happy day!
Molly at Duchess of Fork says
We took our entire 5th grade class to Space Camp this year! 4 teachers, 88 kids, lots of parent chaperones = fun times! The kids loved it.
Margo @ peanut butter trees says
