lasts and firsts.....

today was my last day to see my two little bundles of joy.
today was my last day of classes.
today i handed in my last assignment.

there were a lot of lasts.

but then come the firsts...

first trip to nyc.
first time moving to a new city.
first day at a new job
first time living with roommates.

there will be lots of firsts.

so first the lasts, and then the firsts....

does that make sense?

blueberry tarts.

okay, yummmmmmmm.
this is the best recipe i've ever found
hands down, so delicious and so quick and easy to make

melt 2 tbsp. of butter and mix with one crushed graham cracker.
put this mixture in the bottom of your tart shells
bake at 350 for about 10 min in the oven

combine 1 tbsp of cornstarch, 1 tsp of sugar, 1/4 tsp of cinnamon,
1tbsp of lemon juice and 1/4 - 1/2 cup of blueberries
i used frozen blueberries (depending on how much filling you want to make)
put it in the microwave stopping to stir every 45 seconds for a max of 6 minutes.
all of a sudden you will find that your mixture thickens and turns into a pie filling, it's magic!

this made 6-8 tarts for me but i'm sure you could do more.
this is such an easy recipe, i don't even know.
i'm in love with it!

happy easter.

may your stomach's be full, as well as your hearts
may you be surrounded by loved ones
whatever religion you are, if any.. may you remember one thing
the most important thing (in my opinion)
be with people who love you
people who really truly love you
and then fiercely protect those people

enjoy your easter, and enjoy the people you spend it with.

xoxo

wanderlust.

i've come down with an incredible case of wanderlust.

the urge to travel the world, i want to see it all.

nyc (27 days), hawaii (137 days) europe (~500 days) can't come fast enough.

my heart is aching.... it wants to travel.

i have a love & passion for the world and getting lost in it.

it's so beautiful, i never want to leave it.
