Todd snapped a pic of me on my way to my first class of 2L year! Good morning, Evidence!
(Do you see my yoga mat poking out? I've got my schedule set so I can go 1-2x during the week to break up my day.)
And when I got home, Todd was pulling his grandma's famous mac and cheese out of the oven! I'm such a lucky girl!
We've made some slight modifications to the original recipe - we subbed flour for cornstarch and added ham, and beer (!).
Enjoy this everyone, and give your grandma a hug!
