It's not delivery...

As many of you know, after a long day it's hard to want to spend a lot of time cooking dinner. Here is a little something we have come up with when we are hungry and want something fast (and cheap).

We were given a Pizzaz pizza cooker. If you don't have one get one. It is life changing. It cooks your pizza from the top and bottom as it rotates. It is really fast and really good.
So we had the idea to get some Tostino's Party Pizzas and load them up with good toppings. Its fun and really fast to do on the Pizzaz because you can throw on toppings as it rotates so it is cooking at the same time.
I start with a light drizzle of olive oil. Then I sprinkle on some basil, oragino, and cracked pepper.
Then I throw on some pepperoni. The more the merrier. 
I like to add some heat to the pizza, so I chopped up some jalepenos and tossed them on as well.
 
Then we top it all off with a load of shredded cheddar and mozerella cheese. And boom. All of that in 12 mins and we were chowing down on some tasty, quick and cheap pizza.


Total cost: Approx $3.00

Wedding and Honeymoon: Part 2

So the honeymoon was awesome. Here is our tale.
We flew to beautiful Cozumel, Mexico on the Monday after the wedding. We left Greenville at 4am, but we were too excited to be tired.
We landed in Cozumel around 1pm. The airport was really small, and I'm pretty sure we were the only flight coming in that day. We got hounded on our way out of the airport by shuttle drivers. Luckily we found the right one, because we found out later that many of the others take you to a timeshare presentation instead of your resort. That would have sucked.

We rolled into the Wyndham Cozumel and it was more beautiful than the pictures. The open air lobby was awesome and we were greeted kindly and the bell boy took our bags to the Sabor side of the resort to get us checked in.

You should know that Jordan is a super sleuth when it comes to finding deals. When we were looking for honeymoon packages, she found us this resort. At they time they were running a deal that would allow you to upgrade to the exclusive side of the resort for only $10 more a night. We would have paid $100 a night because it was so worth it. 
We got to our room and it was amazing. We could walk out of the back door and step right into a pool. That pool had slides that went into the main pool. Yeah it was as cool as it sounds.
It was all-inclusive, so we didn't have to pay for anything. Well, almost anything. We didn't bring sunscreen (my fault, I thought it wouldn't get through security) so I figured we could just buy it at the resort. I figured it would be marked up, and came into it ready to pay 8 or 9 bucks to not get roasted. In the gift shop we see some small cans of spray on sunscreen. I read the label and it says $310.00. I thought I was on Punked. Coming into this I was not aware that the symbol for the Peso was the dollar sign. So turns out that $310.00 pesos is still alot. $25 for an 8 oz can of sunscreen. Should have taken the chance on the security. My bad. Stupid gringo.

We got into a pretty good routine. Wake up, eat breakfast, go back to bed, wake back up, go to the pool. We would hang out by the pool until lunch, grab some lunch, back to the pool, take a nap (very strenuous schedule), and then afternoon activity. Our afternoon activities were really fun. We: snorkeled, rode jet skis, snorkeled again, took a Mayan jungle walk, and went shopping in the city. We saw so many colorful fish, crystal clear water, amazing weather, and lots of Luchador masks. 
All in all we got very tan, very rested, and very well fed. It was an awesome time and we are already planning our next trip.
It was nice to get home and start getting settled in. Our apartment is finally starting to feel like home. 

Until next time,
Jered and Jordan

Wedding and Honeymoon: Part 1

Now that the craziness and business of the wedding and honeymoon is over, it is time to reflect. 
The wedding went really well. We were very stressed leading up to the wedding, with so many last minute details to tie up. But it amazingly all came together perfectly. Mostly impart to our friends and family who helped so much and we couldn't have done it without them.
The ceremony was beautiful and it went by without a hitch. 
The reception was so much fun too! We got to enjoy some great food, cake, and music!
We stayed our first night in the Mark Twain Hotel in downtown Peoria. We stayed on the top floor in an absolutely beautiful room.
Late that night we were both very hungry so we decided to make a late night Taco Bell run. And it was a blast.
We got to sleep in Sunday morning and enjoyed a great breakfast buffet at the hotel. Then we headed back to Greenville to OUR apartment, opened all of our awesome gifts, packed up for the honeymoon.
Coming soon: Part 2, the Honeymoon!

Thanks for reading and check back soon!
