WOW

So it has definitely been too long since my last post...life sure does seem to get away from me these days! Let me fill you in on some of the things that have been keeping me busy!

1. My poor husband fractured his foot and has been on strict orders not to put ANY pressure on it in order to allow the bone to heal properly. So I have been taking care of him and the things around the house that I don't usually have to deal with. This whole experience has been slightly frustrating but overall it has taught me to be truly grateful for all the things that my husband does to help maintain our home. I never realized how much he really does. So a special shout out to my slightly crippled hubby...I love you with all of my heart and I appreciate all the chores you do...big and small! *Just a side note he should be able to walk around with slight pressure on the surgical in the next week or two*

2. My little Peanut (OK so he is not so little) has been getting a lot of my attention lately. He is growing up so fast and is really starting to mellow out and listen to commands. Peanut really does not understand why daddy can't play with him or take him outside...until Adam heals he is stuck with me. I have been trying my best to play with him and walk him on a daily basis. Yesterday he got to run around at my in-laws house so that made him pretty tired. My dog (although a major pain at times) brings me so much joy. His love for me and for Adam is unconditional. I can always count on his big brown eyes to bring a smile to my face.

3. A secret present for my dad...OK so the secret is out that I made my dad a present...I got the idea from pinterest (again I blame my sister-in-law, Cassie)...I worked really hard on it but I am not quite done with it...I won't be giving him the present until Christmas so stay tuned for when that post comes up...then you can see the picture.

4. I have also been trying really hard to cook...and by cook I mean use my crock pot. With my work schedule I find it really hard to actually cook a meal from scratch so I have been busting out the crock pot to make some delicious recipes. I have found several keepers that have been made more than once and sometimes there are not even left overs. The Butters Family seems to like the Chicken Salsa dip that I make using the crock pot, I also make a pretty mean Teriyaki Rice Bowl, Chicken Parmeasan, and a few more. It has been stressful for me because I am really trying to be a better wife but sometimes when I get home I have no energy left to cook/clean/do laundry etc...


So I apologize for my "boring life" but really it is exciting I just think you have to be living it from my end! I wanted to leave you all with a verse that I stumbled upon today...

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Have a good week! :)
