Let me tell you something, <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">27</span> has already been crazy good! I mean CRAZY good! <br />
<br />
As most of you know on <b>October 19th</b>, I said yes to spending the rest of my life with the most amazing man. I CAN NOT wait to be Mrs. Soto. It makes me giggle just typing it. He is so supportive and encouraging. He loves me despite my "terrible" sports teams and my addiction to trashy reality TV. I hope to one day make him as happy as he makes me. I love you, handsome! XoXo<br />
<br />
What some of you may not know is, I have been studying for a test to become a teacher. On <b>November 1st</b>, I passed said test. When I say that I was excited, I <i>was</i>! I sat in my car and cried from being so happy. On a side note, ever since I became an engaged woman, I have become even more emotional. For warning to all of you! :P<br />
<br />
On <b>November 7th</b>, I accepted a position to teach 4th grade. I am so ready to start my career change. I know that it is going to be a challenge and I am so ready. I just hope my kids are smaller than me. ;)<br />
<br />
None of this would be possible with out the help of a few people: Fernando, Mom, Jackie, Tiffany, Kristi, and Zach. I can't Thank You all enough for your help and support. I love you all! :)<br />
<br />
I have started a new blog, <a href="http://diaryofthetinyteacher.blogspot.com/">Diary of the Tiny Teacher</a>, that will chronicle my journey as a new teacher. Go subscribe! Like now! :)<br />

While there, we are going to be seeing Luke Bryan and FL-GA Line in concert, visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame, and much more! I'm excited for all of those reasons and because I get to break out my fall clothes. Not to mention, I get to do all of this with the most amazing boyfriend! All of me loves you Fernando! ;) <3<br />
<br />
Now to packing, it's always difficult for me to pack for cold weather because I never have enough room in my carry-on suitcase. For this trip I am going to be checking a bag! Thank God for Southwest's 2 free checked bags!! lol By the way, look for a blog post later on Packing Tips, but for now lets get ready for Nashville!!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My 26th year on this beautiful Earth is about to come to an end (on Saturday). I hate to see it go, not only because I don't want to get older, but also because it has been the best year of my life, <i>so far</i>. All in one year, I have experienced and tackled so much. Since October 12th last year, I have:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- I have conquered my fear of heights by going Skydiving.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- I have become an Apple fanatic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- I fell in my love with my best friend. <3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- I have visited New York, for the first time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- I have seen my Lakers play, for the first time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- I have visited Chicago, for the first time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- I met Victor Oladipo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- I met Mike Greenberg.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- I moved to Florida (still can't believe this one - lol).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Established my spot as Christian's 2nd favorite and 2nd most loved person. This one is clearly the best one of them all! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Along with all of these highlights, I have would include stronger friendships, new friendships, stronger family bonds, and a more optimistic outlook on life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wonder what </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">27</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> has in store...? Can't wait to find out!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some may think, how can any life threatening decision be associated with your "The Bests Ever." Well I will tell you. My entire life I have been afraid of heights. I don't do ladders. I don't do balconies twenty stories up. Yet, I jump out of airplanes at 30,000 feet. This one, 5 minute airplane jump gave me the greatest rush I have ever experienced in my life. You feel inspired, like you can take on the world. While you are soaring through the sky, you are forced to enjoy the beautiful thing that is life. If you are ever inspired to go skydiving, definitely do it with a group of friends and get it on tape! Anytime you feel down or defeated, watching that tape well quickly change your attitude. <b> </b></span><br />

It's real simple, and only has THREE ingredients. Ready?!<br />
<br />
<u>Honey Cinnamon Milk</u><br />
<br />
1 cup of vanilla almond milk<br />
1 teaspoon of honey<br />
2 pinches of cinnamon<br />
<br />
<br />
Warm the milk in the microwave for about 2.5 minutes. Remove, stir in honey and 1 pinch of cinnamon. Sprinkle 1 pinch of cinnamon on top. And, you're done!<br />
<br />
It is light and warm. It isn't loaded with calories like hot chocolate. It won't keep you wired like coffee. Perfect warm treat. Enjoy!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
There is no tie with this one. It's easy, the birth of Mr. Christian Scott Smith. The moment that little guy entered this world, I had no idea how my life would change. He has brought so much joy to my life. Without even knowing or trying, he brought a family together. Our family became closer and stronger, almost instantly.<br />

<br />
He has taught me so much about life and myself. I have learned to be more patient, more understanding, and less selfish - it's not so hard. He has taught me that it is the little things in life that matter. Love is enough. Love is simply enough. Never did I think I would love someone so much. And never did I think hearing the words, "I love you so much Sissy" could make any bad day, better! I wish he could stay this way, so sweet and sometimes innocent! :) However, I know he will grow up and I just hope he will still call me Sissy. I hope he will still proudly say how much he loves me and misses me. I hope he will still consider me his best friend and his favorite! And, I hope he never forgets how much he is loved.<br />

Yes, I am a woman. And YES, I just admitted my age. The past 26 years have had it's fair shares of ups and downs, but I have been beyond blessed. I started thinking about the best ever's that I have experienced. So I compiled a list and am going to do a blog on each one.<br />
<br />
<b>First, none other than Sporting Event: WE HAVE A TIE! </b><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Detroit Pistons vs. Charlotte Bobcats</span><br />
<br />
I know most of you would say, how is that exciting? The Bobcats? The Pistons? But, if you know me, I am a huge sports fan and a HUGE Chauncey Billups fan. The tickets to the game were a birthday gift from my mom. Thanks MOM!<br />
<br />
We sat four rows behind The Pistons' bench. Before the game, I got so close to SHEEEED that if I had a normal person's arms, I would have been able to touch him. The best part of the night, the split second that Chauncey himself looked at me (probably thinking who is that crazy girl giggling and taking a million pictures of me). The moment was captured, to forever be remembered. I tell the story of him looking at me, often, with much pride! The picture is framed and in my apartment for all my guests to see.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many of you probably have heard about my trip to New York about a year ago. This trip was a surprise and an amazing gift from my boss, Zach! I normally do not like surprises but this kind of surprise, I welcome <u>anytime</u>. Okay, back to the trip.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My mom and I got to go to New York for 3 days and enjoy the city for the first time together. And the best part of it all, I got to see MY LAKERS take on the Knicks in Madison Square Garden. I was in the same building as KOBE BEAN BRYANT aka The Black Mamba, The Baaad Man that is Stephen A. Smith, Spike Lee, Patrick Ewing, John Legend, Chuck, and so many more. Poke me because I still can't believe that I went. I mean, how many people get to say that they have seen The Lakers play The Knicks in Madison Square Garden?! Not many, but I CAN! :) It was such an amazing experience! I even got a re-tweet from Spike! Hehehehe </div>

<br />
<u>Ingredients</u>:<br />
<br />
- 1 Cup of Ice<br />
<br />
- 1 Cup of Almond Milk<br />
<br />
- 1/2 Cup of Blueberries<br />
<br />
- 1/2 Cup of Peanut Butter<br />
<br />
- 3 Tablespoons of Honey<br />
<br />
- 1 Tablespoon of Cinnamon<br />
<br />
- 1 Cup of Rolled Oats<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes I add bananas, today I didn't have any. You could also use cocoa powder or protein powder instead of cinnamon.<br />
<br />
This recipe makes two smoothies for me, so the other half goes into the fridge for tomorrow!<br />

You know we all hate working out. We all have to dig down deep to find the motivation to get out of bed and go to the gym. That's all true until you realize that living a healthy life leads to a happier life.<br />
<br />
Recently, I made a promise to myself to get in better shape and live a healthier life. Since that promise, I have become a stronger runner. I have been working out 4-5 times a week. I have maintained my relatively healthy diet. I believe in eating whatever you want, IN MODERATION! As a result, I just mentally feel better. Physically, my entire body hates me (I have been so sore)! We all know that after a good run or workout we feel so energized! So why not do it more often!?<br />
<br />
<u>Some things that I feel have made the change easier</u>:<br />
<br />
- Following folks on Instagram & Pinterest that are also active. Seeing their results is very motivating!<br />
<br />
- Gradually increasing the workout times and days. Slow and steady is the key to building endurance.<br />
<br />
- Do not buy junk food. If it's not in your house, you can't eat it!<br />
<br />
- <a href="http://www.slenderkitchen.com/how-to-calculate-how-much-water-you-should-drink-a-day/#">Drink tons of water</a>. Anyone who knows me, knows I drink water religiously!<br />
<br />
- Buy a new workout outfit. I know it sounds silly but I get so excited to wear new running shorts!<br />
<br />
- Change it up. Don't do the same thing every day, that's boring! Kickball, Running, Circuit, Yoga, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are a few people that are great to follow for motivation: <br />
<br />

DUH!<br />
<br />
I am a self-proclaimed sweets addict. I love chocolate everything, I love strawberry cupcakes, and LEMON COOKIES! Here is a recipe that I made today.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Lemon Box Cookies</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">1 Roll of Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">1 Lemon</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">1 1/2 cups of Powdered Sugar</span><br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
Bake the cookies and let them cool. While they are cooling you can make the glaze. Combine in a bowl, the zest of 1 lemon, the juice of 1 lemon, and the powdered sugar. Whip until all ingredients are combined and the glaze is smooth. When cookies are completely cooled, add a teaspoon of the glaze on top. And, you are done! So easy and so yummy! <br />
<br />
If you love lemon flavored sweets, I suggest you try these! :)<br />

<br />
Here in the Oxendine/Soto house, we love our chicken. We mostly eat chicken or seafood for dinner. We love our red meat, but we aren't spring chickens anymore and need to watch our waistlines. ;)<br />
<br />
Last night I tried a new marinade, thanks to Pinterest. Here is the recipe:<br />
<br />
<b>Balsamic Yumminess!</b><br />
2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast<br />
1/2 cup of Olive Oil<br />
2 Tablespoons of Balsamic Vinaigrette<br />
1 teasp of Garlic Powder<br />
1 teasp of Salt<br />
1 teasp of Pepper<br />
1 teasp of Italian Seasoning<br />
<br />
<b>Sauce</b><br />
1 cup of Low Sodium Chicken Stock<br />
1/4 cup of heavy cream<br />
1 teasp of Salt<br />
1 teasp of Pepper<br />
1 teasp of Onion Powder<br />
<br />
I let the chicken marinate for about 6 hours in the fridge. <b>*Tip*</b><i> I poke each breast with a knife a few times so the marinade can get inside the chicken - it enhances the flavor.</i> I sautéed the chicken for 6 minutes on each side with a <i>little</i> butter (I know!) Then I put them in the oven for 10 minutes. They will still have a nice crust and be super moist. Let them rest for about 2-3 minutes before cutting.<br />
<br />
The sauce really is optional because the chicken is great without it but I wanted to try making a sauce. Once the chicken has been placed in the oven, turn the burner to about 3. Pour the chicken stock in and whisk to get all the little bits off the bottom. Then stir in the cream, and season to taste. It will thicken up, just keep whisking.<br />
<br />
I served the chicken with corn and brown rice.<br />

It will now be more personal. It will chronicle my journey of becoming a Floridian and adjusting to living with a boy (ewwww). I love you babe! ;)<div>

It has almost been 3 months now, since I moved. A lot in my life has changed. I have gained a child, Junior. I have started a new job. I have made new friends. I have learned that living with a boy in't so bad, laundry aside. Let me tell you, doing laundry for two people is a continuous chore. My life is great and I am reminded every day how blessed I am. </div>

When it comes to change, some people adapt well, others do not. I, not only adapt poorly, I hate it. I like the comfort that comes with routine. I've been working on this post for almost two months now, if that tells you anything. The thought of moving to Florida and starting a new job - hell, a new life - frightened me. Who does that?! Who up and leaves the best job, the best family, and the bestest friends?! Not me! Not Candace! Yessss, Candace.<br />
<br />
Some of you may know that in May, I moved to the Sunshine State. For those that didn't know, you may be asking for what? I can't help but think of a scene from one of my favorite movies, Sex and The City. I recall Carrie asking Louise why she moved to NYC, her response was "<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">...to fall in love</span>." I, I moved to Orlando <i>for</i> love. Unlike Louise, I had already fallen. <br />
<br />
The support I received from my family, my friends, and my Go Family was refreshing. I have always known that I was blessed to have the most amazing people in my life. People that don't judge or question. They just love and support. Why I expected anything less about this big move, I'm unsure. I want to thank everyone that made the move a little less hard and a little less stressful. <br />
<br />
To My Go Family, you are the coolest people I know, hands down! Thank You for welcoming me with open arms and open hearts. The laughs I have shared with all of you are priceless! You are one by one, changing the real estate world. Keep on, keeping on! <3<br />

<br />
To Zach, who believes in me like none other. I will forever be grateful for the knowledge I have learned from you. I will forever be grateful for the experiences you have afforded me. I will forever be grateful for you allowing me to join your amazing Go Family. I can honestly say that you have made me a better person! Keep thinking outside the box, never lose that fearless attitude, and know that you are awesome! Thank you for my angel wings. :)<br />

I decided to use that gift card to take a trip to Chicago with my boyfriend. I have been a few places {Florida, Maryland, California, New York, Savannah, Charleston, Vegas, etc.} but I must say Chicago was one of my favorites. It could have been the company I was with OR the city is just that awesome. Probably, both! :)<br />

Summer is vastly approaching, thankfully. When I think of summer, I can't help but think of hanging by the pool with friends, laying on the beach, and 4th of July fireworks! <br />
<br />
Though it isn't here just yet, I think it is a perfect time to start planning some fun activities. Here are a few things to consider. <br />
<br />
1. Saturday morning trip to the <a href="http://www.godowntownraleigh.com/farmers-market">Farmers Market</a> to pick up a watermelon, some strawberries, etc.<br />
<br />
2. Take a day trip to Wrightsville Beach.<br />
<br />
3. Go to <a href="http://www.godowntownraleigh.com/first-friday-raleigh">First Friday Gallery Walk</a> in Downtown Raleigh. <br />
<br />
4. Go to a festival, like <a href="http://allaboutbeer.com/gather-for-beer/world-beer-festival/raleigh-nc/buy-tickets/">Beer Fest</a> in Moore Square. <br />
<br />
5. Go to a concert at the <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/Time-Warner-Cable-Music-Pavilion-at-Walnut-Creek-tickets-Raleigh/venue/114763">Time Warner Cable Arena</a>. Tim McGraw & The Black Keys will be here!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.carydowntown.com/">Downtown Cary</a>, it's kind of like one of those charming little places you see on TV. Local shops, a train station, a museum, and more. <br />

<i><b>Serendipity: an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.</b></i></div>
<br />
Jenn and Zach had to stop by the train station in <a href="http://www.carydowntown.com/">Downtown Cary</a> (don't ask) and they discovered <a href="http://www.serendipitygourmetdelinc.com/">Serendipity Gourmet Deli</a>. <br />
<br />
It was discovered by accident and will forever be desired. I enjoyed a Peanut Butter, Banana, and Honey Pita Pocket. It was DELICIOUS!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a peek, and stop by when you can. You won't regret it!!! </div>

It has been one long week, but Team "Poor Candace" is staying strong. All checked-in and ready for next week. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On top of the Go90x success, Zach and I are already seeing the perks of the market getting better. Our buyers are finding great homes, and our listings are seeing great activity. Some even going under contract within 3 days!! Hope the greatness and the excitement continues...<br />

Why?As you know from my last blog, I am doing Go90x again. While I announced my participation, I didn't explain why. So here are my reasons why.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Zach basically forced me. Kind of. Maybe. Pulled my arm, slightly!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2. I get a sweet prize. Who doesn't like a prize. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Any chance I get to work on a team with <a href="http://www.noplacelikehere.biz/">Jenn</a> and <a href="http://zachschabot.blogspot.com/">Zach</a>, I take it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">4.Doing Go90x helps Zach's business grow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5. Go90x simply reiterates why <a href="http://www.gorealty.biz/">Go Realty</a> is different and why our agents are so special. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>To my fellow Go90x-ers, <b>Good Luck</b>!</i> <br />
<br />
