Happy Birthday Anna:)

One of my best friend’s, Anna, celebrated her 24’th Birthday yesterday. She is such an awesome person. She's almost always in a dress and has the cutest clothes. I always envy her outfits (even the Biblical sandals). She is addicted to baseball so you know she will be in a stadium just about every weekend during baseball season. She has the greatest laugh and we always laugh together:) She has always been there for me and that is why she has been a lifelong best friend of mine. My evening will consist of celebrating her special day with her with some dinner and dancing!! I love getting to spend time with her and I don’t think she will ever realize how much her friendship means to me. I love you and I will see you tonight and dance the night away!!

My favorite Recipe EVER!!

Simple and Delicious Chicken with Potatoes and Asparagus..

EVOO
4 boneless Chicken Breasts
1TBLS thyme
2TBLS unsalted butter
6 Medium Red Potatoes
1 Medium yellow onion
1/2 cup dry white cooking wine
1 TBLS Mustard (Dijon or regular works fine)
1 pound asparagus
1/4 cup parsley


Season Chicken with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook Chicken and remove to separate plate. Add EVOO and butter after taking the chicken out. Add the sliced potatoes (does better if they are thin), the remaining thyme, salt and pepper. Wait till the potatoes are cooked. Add wine. Mustard, chicken stock, Bring to a Bubble and then add the sliced asparagus. Add Parsley, stir to combine. Add chicken back to pan to re-heat.

** I sometimes have to add additional chicken stock if it takes a little longer to cook, you don't want it to get dry**

Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!!

Time doesn't slow down...

What a wonderful weekend! Honey’s sisters were here (my great-aunts) along with their daughter, my mom’s cousin. It was so good to see them again. They live in Memphis Tennessee so I don’t see them often. I think the last time was when I was in the 9’th or 10’th grade. I know it meant the world to Honey. When they got out of the car and saw each other they cried. I went over to Honey’s after work and played cards with them. It was just like old times in TN. I love getting to spend time with my family.

Matt finally got here! We went to ride four-wheelers on Saturday in Durnam Town. So much fun! I was covered in mud (that’s when you know you are from the south) haha!! It ended up pouring down rain while we were still out on the trails. We rode back to the trucks. I had no clean clothes to put on. Chad was helping me get my shoes and socks off so at least the floor of his truck wouldn’t get dirty. After he got them off I had to get from his Dad’s truck to Chad’s. I’m going to remind you it was pouring down rain…Me being the genius that I am decided to empty some of the food out of the grocery bags and I put my foot in them and tied them. Then ran to the truck!!
**You might be a redneck if you use grocery bags for shoes**

That night we hung out at Jessica’s and stayed up way too late. I was Exhausted on Sunday!! Nonetheless, I got up and went to church where I saw my little ring bearers:) They asked how my trip went…they are so cute!!

Sunday night= COLDPLAY:) Hands-down The Best Concert I have ever been too! I’m not just saying that either. My friend, Samantha’s dad got her tickets because he knew she really wanted to go. We had no clue where the seats were…Samantha, Court, and I just continued to get closer and closer, we were all the way down front!! Amazing! They were really good seats and they put on an amazing show. The bass player was smokin hott! They gave out free CD’s at the exit…I have never heard of that before. I got home at 1:30 A.M. and got up at 6:45 to go to work. I was soooo tired but it was so worth it:)
I’ll post some pictures from the concert on here tomorrow!!

As of yesterday, Chad and I have been married for one month. I cannot believe how fast time is going by. I keep hoping that things are going to slow down but I don’t see any signs that it’s going to happen any time soon. Chad and I have decided to start doing our Sunday School lesson together. It’s easy to get off track and out of routine when you have a lot going on. We were talking and that’s what we decided would be best. We decided to go running in the afternoon when I get home from work through some of the neighborhoods! I am really looking forward to this time I will get to spend with him and God. Non-Stressful running and quiet time:)I am really looking forward to the three day weekend ahead. In my mind I just keep thinking there is so much to do. I decided to come in early today and work out. What a difference it made!! I’m going to be set up with a personal trainer tomorrow and I hope this is going to help alleviate some stress. It felt so good to get up early and get going. On Saturday, we are going to look for a kitchen table:) I Never thought I would get excited about that but alas I am!! On Sunday, hanging with my folks and sis:)
So exciting!! Then on Monday, off to the lake!! Jam packed weekend but I can’t wait!

Side note: On Monday night I was watching The Bachelorette (if you know me-you know that show is my guilty pleasure) and wouldn’t you know that I fell asleep! I have know idea who she eliminated…I’m hoping to have time this weekend to catch up!!

I know it’s a lot of random thoughts that probably don’t make sense but its what I wanted to blog about today!! I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!!

Wallet Less

So I left my wallet at the house today. Got all the way to work and realized I didn't have it. So frustrating...Grrr!!

Ryan or Aiden?

I had the craziest dream last night that I wanted to share.

I must tell you this before I tell you about this amazing dream. I have not watched All My Children in about a year it seems like. This dream was completely random.

So I am riding in my car to go to Home Depot and I look over in the passenger seat expecting to see Chad. Was it Chad? No. Of course it was Cameron Mathison (Ryan Lavery) from All My Children…That makes sense right? I look down and we were holding hands…

We ride on to The Home Depot and head to the garden section. To my surprise Aiden (British Accent Guy) walks up and grabs my hand. Apparently, I am right in the middle of them fighting for me. Poor little me right? Haha.

I make me decision, as hard as it was, and I chose Aiden (pictured on the right) …It was the accent!!

Craziness! Thought y’all would get a kick out of this!!

Really???

First off I would just like to say that I absolutely love being married. Everything is perfect. I love going home to him every night. Having said that, we have had the most random situations come up as you have read from my previous blog. I now have two more situations to add.

Last Saturday Chad went to ride four-wheelers with his dad, brother, and Barry. He left that morning and I stayed home because there was so much to do. He leaves before me to go to work so I never worry about his car being behind me. Why would this morning be any different? This morning was different because he took his car. I need to remind you that I am not used to having a two car garage yet. He took his truck instead of his car. Needless to say I got in my car opened the garage door and begin laughing hysterically to The Bert Show and I begin backing up…there I am rolling and I reach up to close the door and….BAMMM!! I am into the back of Chad’s car! I immediately get out of my car to look at his. No dents, just scratches on the paint. I was devastated. He took the news better than I thought he would. In conclusion, Yes, I am a moron!

The next morning, Chad and I are getting ready to head to church. We are walking back and forth from the bathroom to the bedroom trying to get ready. As I am walking out of the bathroom I hit my left hand on the bathroom door. Our of habit I immediately grab my hand and pull it up to look at my ring. Would you believe that my marquee diamond on the side popped out? I hit it pretty hard. Would you believe even further that as I put my right hand underneath it the diamond landed in my right hand? Praise Jesus I didn’t lose that diamond!! Now we just have to find time to drive to the Marietta Shane Co. since the one down here closed.

One thing after another. Many worse things could happen but I am thankful that Chad and I can laugh at little things. Please continue to pray for Chad and I as we are trying get our life going together. Thank you and I hope my bloopers can bring a smile to your day:)
