Storm coming!


June 27, 2010
At Fair Park, about to go see Wicked. Yes with this post I am admitting that I saw Wicked again...after seeing it two weeks ago with Erin. It was totally worth it. We got cheap seats in the balcony. SO good.


June 26, 2010
Muffins!


June 25, 2010
I made homemade chocolate frozen yogurt! It was good. I have made it again since this and it was even better. This particular version had two cups of plain yogurt, 1 cup of 2% milk, 3 oz bakers chocolate, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla.

Making a mess in the kitchen.

Such a studious student.


June 22, 2010
Getting ready for work. My first day working as a licensed speech-language pathologist. :)


June 21, 2010

Been waiting 5 years for this day!


June 20, 2010
Adam made us lunch on Sunday and this is what we ate. Possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten (although I could probably say that about anything Adam makes). We ate cheese grits (filled with two kinds of cheese, grease from the sausage, heavy whipping cream, and spices) topped with seasoned shrimp, sausage, wilted spinach, and pico de gallo. It was pretty much like a party in my mouth. Not healthy in ANY way....but DELICIOUS.


June 19, 2010
Off to a wedding with Adam and Kelli.

These trees are so pretty and they are all over our apartment complex.


June 17, 2010
I seriously didn't realize I had taken food pictures every day...until I uploaded them and started going through them for the blog. This is the last one and I will try to have more variety next week! Southwest zucchini boats.


June 16, 2010
Tilapia, spinach, and brown rice.


June 15, 2010
Continuing with the food theme...Deebs is in town for the next few weeks. She is working for Pine Cove and they started a traveling day camp this summer. She is off on Tuesday nights so Erin, Caleb and I went to dinner with her. We went to a restaurant called Campania and split a pizza.


June 14, 2010
Maybe you can't tell, but I cleaned out the refrigerator. Yes we keep almost all our food items in here. A habit that began at our last apartment...which was infested with ants.

This magic bullet is not as magical as advertised. It has a hard time with smoothies. Oh and a little trick I learned from my mother-in-law: I sweeten my smoothies with honey. It is very yummy and seems healthier than using cane sugar.


June 12, 2010
Since it's summer and I'm not working full time, I plan on cooking a lot more. Hence the insane amount of food pictures this week! This was chicken salad with dried cranberries and walnuts.

Me and Erin wanted to do some sort of study this summer...and we got some other girls to join us! We are going through a study based on the book "Battling Unbelief" by John Piper. We had our first meeting this morning and it is really good so far.


June 10, 2010
Made Bruschetta Pizza. It was scrumtrelescent!


June 9, 2010
Went to see Wicked!!! Great cast. Great music. Great story. Definitely makes it into my list of favorites.


June 8, 2010

Presents for my sisters who are working at Pine Cove this summer. Cousin Erin and I put together these gifts over the weekend. I was supposed to see Deborah today to give them to her..but those plans fell through. They will have to wait until next week.


June 7, 2010

Went to Babe's for dinner with some friends. Apparently they have a creepy fake man that sits at random tables?


June 6, 2010

Sunday afternoon nap... :)


June 5, 2010
Had to go to work on a Saturday...No traffic!


June 4, 2010

Last day of school!!


June 3, 2010
"The Books of the Bible." This version of the Bible took out all the chapter and verse numbers and put the books in the order they were written. Caleb bought a couple of copies for us and I really like reading it.


June 2, 2010
Ready to meet with my supervisor and get my paperwork signed for my license!


June 1, 2010

My sister Catherine knitted me a blanket! She's amazing.

Getting ready for my last day of speech with my kids this year. We are going to decorate cookies and maybe play a game. :)


May 30, 2010

Caleb and I stopped in Bryan, TX (on our way back from Houston) to see cousins Ashley and Rudy and their babies. Poor baby Aaron had a fever and was not feeling well. He is apparently quite the flirt when he is not sick.


May 29, 2010

We went to Houston for my sister's high school graduation. Soon she'll be headed for OU! Boomer!


May 28, 2010
Tree.


May 27, 2010

Fresh Basil grown on my porch.


May 26, 2010
This is what the sky looked like when I left for work this morning. I thought it was really pretty.


May 25, 2010
Just another day of work...


May 24, 2010
Amy is in town for a couple of weeks so we got together on Monday to catch up a bit. It was good to see her but it was too short!


May 23, 2010
Caleb and I went with some of Caleb's family to Six Flags...apparently I don't tolerate roller coasters as well as I used to. I was feeling pretty nauseous by the end of the day...

May 22, 2010
My mom and Catherine came through Dallas on their way home to Houston. They had gone up to Oklahoma to register Catherine for her classes.
We went with cousin Erin to Panera for lunch before they headed home.


May 21, 2010
Morning routine...


May 20, 2010
So I had these strawberries...and was thinking to myself that it would be really tasty if I had some chocolate to dip them in. I scavenged through my refrigerator and found a Cadbury egg leftover from Easter. I don't know if you like Cadbury eggs...I do. And apparently they are really good melted on strawberries.


May 19, 2010

Cooking some zucchini.


May 18, 2010

Refer to the post from March 31 to see what this plant used to look like. As soon as flowers started to bloom it began to shrivel up and die.
Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rachel! Sorry your birthday picture is a dead plant...


May 17, 2010

2 year anniversary. Love you Caleb. :)


May 16, 2010
Laundry day...


May 15, 2010

Went to the stockyards with some friends to practice using my camera. Of course when I saw this, I knew I had found my picture of the day.

Got soaked today...


May 13, 2010

Storm blowing in...it's supposed to rain for the next 8 or 9 days.


May 12, 2010
Back to my food pictures...Black bean burritos. This meal was a staple in college...so easy...and delicious...


May 11, 2010
So this week's theme is apparently "Cousin Erin." I promise I'm not obsessed...we just happen to see each other quite a bit/talk to each other pretty much every day...


May 10, 2010
I see Erin every Monday night for BSF. She is supposed to be modeling how windy it was! It is kind of hard to tell...
Erin I'm sorry but this was the best one of you...and I needed a picture for the day...


May 9, 2010
Deebs drove through Dallas on her way home from college. It was good to see her again! I was not made aware that this was supposed to be a silly picture...

Someone in our household (who will remain nameless) has an interesting habit which includes wearing his socks to bed but taking them off in the middle of the night. They end up at the foot of the bed and are discovered every time the sheets get changed. Apparently we had not changed our sheets in quite a while....


May 7, 2010
Thus ends teacher appreciation week. Topped off with a free mug and scholastic calendar for next year. I can't believe there are only 4 weeks left of school.


May 6, 2010
Reading...or taking pictures of myself pretending to read...or maybe a little of both...


May 5, 2010
More Banh Mi...this time from a different place. Don't ask me what that white stuff is...I have no idea...but I guess it tasted good.


May 4, 2010
Crocking up some meat...


May 3, 2010
I decided to paint my toes brown. I've never done brown before but I think I like it.


May 2, 2010
I like that our in-laws have a puppy...I can go to their house and get my puppy fix...and then leave.


May 1, 2010
Caleb's cousin Dan and his wife Erica came into town for the weekend. Caleb had been wanting to try the tacos at Fuel City. As the name would suggest, it is a gas station. The tacos at this place are supposedly some of the best in Texas. They were pretty good; however, there are no places to sit so we had to eat our tacos standing outside by the car.
