Hi guys! So I just wanted to make a quick little post about today because...

It's my anniversary! S and I have been together for a decade.  Woo, milestones!

I wish that I could have remembered to bring my camera along to document, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't forget.

So, let's see, I woke up early today to do a really {really} quick home workout of:
10 Narrow Squats*
5 Pushup Burpees
10 Narrow Squats + Back Leg Raise
5 Pushup Burpees
10 Regular Squats*
5 Pushup Burpees
10 Squats + Side Leg Raise
5 Pushup Burpees
10 Plie Squats*
5 Pushup Burpees
10 Narrow Squat Jumps
10 Squat Jumps
10 Plie Squat Jumps
*I filled my backpack with books and used that as a weight

We had a quick smoothie for Breakfast:
Frozen Nanas
Frozen Strawberries
Kale
Chocolate Almond Milk
Scoop of Peanut Butter

Then we left to go to:
The History Musum At The Castle

There was a sweet Houdini exhibit where some of his secrets were revealed.  That was neat.  After the museum we were super hungry so we went to:

Hu Hot  for Lupper.
S and I both went up to the buffet twice. For any of those wondering, no I do not avoid places like this.  Yes, I am vegan and yes, I care about the animals.  I watched them wipe away the area after each time they cooked someone's food.  I am completely fine with them cooking a big plate of meat, wiping it away when it is done and then cooking up my veggies and noodles because I am still not contributing to the exploitation of animals.  Yes, I would be concerned if there were chunks of flesh in my food, but there weren't. And all was well.

Linner was really good, but we {mostly me} wanted something sweet after.  I heard from some friends about a cafe in downtown Appleton that has vegan soy ice cream.  And while I don't usually eat soy, I was excited because I could have my ice cream and S could have his and it would be great.  But when we got there, the only vegan flavor was Blue Moon.  Ugh.  I don't understand the hype of Blue Moon ice cream.  So we left :(

And now we are home and I'm kinda sad that there are no more fun activities planned.  I think we are gonna decorate the house for Halloween and then watch a movie.  I need to do some homework, too. Blech.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

So, your aunt Sal is finally getting married and oh boy isn't it a happy time?  But wait, you have to travel for the whole weekend?  What are you going to eat?  Will there be food for you at Sal's wedding?  Surely there won't because Sal can't stand that you're vegan.

Mail's here! Oh look it's aunt Sal's invitation
Of course you're gonna attend, she is your family after all.  But, hold up now, is that just chicken and beef you can choose from?  Really, Sal?  Your sister Betsy is a vegetarian, you know.  I'm not the only one out there.

So you call her up

But, it is her wedding and you ultimately gotta do what the bride says, so you just go along with it because despite her naivety, you love her.

But you don't want to starve this weekend, either.  So what do you do?  BYOFood! And lots of it!
Is it ideal?  Of course not, but we do what we have to, right?

Alrighty, here is what I was able to document from the wedding weekend.  Enjoy the commentary!!

Hey guys!  So, S's brother is getting married tomorrow {woo weddings!!!} so I thought I would document the day not only for memories and whatnot, but to show everyone that you can be vegan in any situation!

So, this will be the first installment of Vegan At...

To give a little background, the I am in the wedding {just had to throw that out, I'm so excited!!}, it's at Devils Head resort in Baraboo, WI.  It is helpful that they know I am vegan so myself, S's vegan cousin, and S's vegetarian sister will get vegan meals! We are so spoiled.  But even if your family despises the fact that you are vegan, I will be coming up with ways/tips for you to survive at a wedding for a weekend!

So, the rehearsal is tonight, wedding tomorrow, and we are coming back home Sunday.  I will be documenting the entire weekend, so stay tuned for...

Vegan At... a Wedding!!
