Yummy and Easy Recipes

Since I'm not working right now, my goal when cooking besides making food that is delicious is to spend as little as possible. I found a recipe website called supercook.com that allows you to input ingredients you have at home and it gives you recipes for those ingredients. Tonight, I have made two delicious recipes

Cheesy Pasta Bake

1 can of cream of mushroom soup
3 cups of cooked pasta (your choice)
1-2 cups of shredded cheese

Boil pasta as directed. Put soup in a casserole dish and cook on 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until bubbly. Mix cheese into soup until incorporated. Add drained pasta into soup/cheese mixture and bake for up to 20 more minutes until heated through.



Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1 egg

Incorporate well and put small spoonfuls onto sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet

Both are delicious!

Wisdom Wednesday

Recently, I've been reading a blog series about how to increase the finances for your family outside of you 40 hour per week job. And also, even instead of a 40 hour per week job. Matt and I have been discussing this extensively and I will share in depth with you all soon.

For now, I have signed up for Ad Sense which attaches advertisements to our blog and if people click on them, we make money. It's a minimal amount but better than what we would make before they were there. So, if you see them, click on them. Won't hurt you and it will help us :)

Also, there is a new link for e-mails. If you put your e-mail in there, it will send you an e-mail when we update the blog if that's something you are interested in.

Love you all

Something to Say Sunday

When Matt and I first started this blog, we discussed that we wanted it to be for updating folks on our lives, posting fun memories, and also for sharing with others our struggles, victories and what God was teaching us about our relationship and life in general.

Recently, I mentioned that I quit my job for various reasons (mostly, because God said to) and since then I have been looking for another position. One week ago, I had a phone interview for a job in Birmingham and this past Thursday, I had an on-site interview. Matt and I had been praying that the Lord would speak clearly in the situation and say "This is the way, walk in it". A friend confirmed this prayer to us prior to the interview as well (Love when God does that).

I went to the interview on Thursday and the interview went well, great, in fact. I was impressed with the company. The facilities I visited were clean and very nice but when I left something just wasn't right. It wasn't anything I could pinpoint and honestly, I was a bit confused. I talked to Matt and he said "If you don't have a peace about it, then neither do I. And maybe that's our answer". But wait, would God really tell us "No" to this job after he led us to this job in the first place. Or Did He? Hmmm....

I called my wise mother and discussed with her what Matt and I were feeling and she said "think about it and see what you feel is best". Over the weekend, Matt and I discussed the whole situation and decided that God was clearly telling us "No" and we had no other option but to listen to him. This is a hard decision to make. Why? Well, it means turning down employment. Who does that?!? Someone yielded to God that's who. So what now?

I told Matt that one of the reasons that I felt like God was telling us "No" to this specific job was because I need to be yielded to Matt and his leadership in our relationship/family. Matt is an awesome leader but I'm not so good of a follower (can't believe I just said that outloud typed that). So, what does that mean in this situation? It means that as of right now, we reconvene Matt's job search. Matt has been working at The Home Depot for over 4 years. It's not a job he loves but it's a job God has provided and despite intermittent job hunting over the last year, nothing else has come up. I tend to get upset about that at times and then I realize that God has used every single step in our lives to teach us something. If Matt had gotten another job 4 months ago, our lives would have looked completely different and I'm not sure I would have wanted that!

Our next step is to PRAY and ask God what he would have us to do. We believe the first step is to re-start Matt's job hunt (which I will help with a great deal, since I'm not working) and see what God shows us. We are not fearful. We KNOW God is in control and that our needs will be taken care of and we believe that all events of our lives together have led up to this point. Why would he leave us now...oh, He won't for HE IS GOOD!

Witty Wednesday

My Mom sent me this today and it made me laugh!


    A mature (over 70) lady gets pulled over for speeding... 
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer? 

Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding. 
Older Woman: Oh, I see. 
Officer: Can I see your license please? 
Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one. 
Officer: Don't have one? 
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving. 
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please. 
Older Woman: I can't do that. 
Officer: Why not? 

Older Woman: I stole this car. 

Officer: Stole it? 
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner. 

Officer: You what? 

Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see 

The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun. 
Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle. 
Older woman: Is there a problem sir? 
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner. 
Older Woman: Murdered the owner? 

Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please. 

The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk. 

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am? 
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned. 

Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.

The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. 

The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled. 
Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner. 

Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too. 

Don't Mess With Mature Ladies

Memory Monday (2nd Edition)

This weekend, Matt and I went to the beach in Destin, FL for a friend's wedding. We had a blast. It was our 9 month anniversary and our first trip to the beach together. We only stayed one night but it was just right.

We drove down on Saturday morning just in time to eat at The Donut Hole and get some donuts to eat on Sunday morning (more on that in a minute). We had grand plans to shop and walk around on Saturday afternoon BUT both of us got limited sleep on Friday night because we were having some stomach issues :-(. So, we ended up napping some of the afternoon and watching football before the wedding.

After watching the LSU game, we got dressed and headed down to the beach for the wedding. The wedding was super simple and beautiful!!! I was so glad that we were able to be there with Cragg and Jansen as they became "Mr. and Mrs. Fitz". The reception was across the street in an AMAZING condo and the food was delicious. Matt and I got to visit with several friends/family from home and that was such a breath of fresh air!!

We left about 9:00 and went back to our condo to relax. We enjoyed our cake and headed to bed. Sunday morning, we headed to the outlet mall for a bit of shopping. We each got a shirt from Gap and some super fun measuring spoons from the Le Creuset store. (They measure smidge, dash and pinch...so cute!). We had lunch at Pomp@ano Joes and then went back to the outlet mall for dessert from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. 


As we were leaving, we decided to go home a different route than the one we came down. We were so glad we did! We went through Florala, Opp, Luverne, and other small towns. We stopped in Florala at the Florala State Park and it was so beautiful- a nice respite from the long drive. We also discovered that Luverne in the home of Sister Schubert's rolls!!! I got really excited about that....haha.

Overall, it was a great trip. Love making memories with my Man!
