So, I am heading out this afternoon to start my travels off in Austin visiting Lauren and Kendi…I CANNOT WAIT!!Then after a short but sweet visit with them, I am headed to Houston to see the fam. Mimi will be in town, and so will Alison. So I get to see everybody!!!!!
John is so sweet, the whole reason why I am going to Texas is because he felt so bad that he would not be around at all for the next two weeks. The base has an inspection, and so John’s work is going to keep him VERY busy, plus with his masters. Please pray that he does not get exhausted. I told him I would be fine here, but he just hates to “neglect” me. Sweetest husband award?
So with that said, I have done all the laundry, and prepared some dinners that should last him at least the first week. I also made him some breakfast taco filling so that he can have a warm breakfast full of protein. Is it sad, that it is ALWAYS hard for me to say goodbye to him, even if it is just a couple weeks? He is my best friend, and I miss him so much, when I am gone.
Anyway, I am so excited that I will be in warmer weather, I have been going a little stir crazy. John, however, is LOVING the cold weather, he and his friends are being taken by a guide to glacier, and cross country skiing to where they will camp in the mountains, in personally dug out ICE CAVES!!! Sounds way to cold for me, but I am sure he is going to have a blast!!!
That is us for now!
It has been a slow and wonderful weekend. Friday afternoon I got my hair trimmed and styled. Isn’t it sad when you have to wash your hair after having it styled? Then friday night we had dinner at our friends house who live across the street. Good company for sure. I learned a lot about make-up from Kate, the wife. Then Saturday we decided to go out to eat at Jaker’s for lunch, and I got to have my favorite salad! Yum! Then we grabbed coffee and went driving through the highwoods. It is beautiful out there. I was a little bummed that we did not see a bald eagle, and just as I had that thought a huge one flew up out of field, what a beautiful site! Once we got into town we decided to walk around some furniture stores I have been wanting some chairs for the living room, because it always seems a bit awkward for all of our company to have to seat on one sectional couch together. It is a little more cozy than most are used to, therefore, people tend to sit on the ground even when there is enough space on the couch…people are funny. John went out on alert Sunday morning, so it was just me at kids church and church today. After church I came home, made myself some whole wheat pasta with vodka sauce and goat cheese. Yummers! The dogs and I just chilled out today. I have been watching the cooking network a lot lately. My favorite show right now is “Chopped” it is where seasoned chefs compete with a time limit and are given crazy random ingredients and have to make dishes that they create. I LOVE IT!! Speaking of food. A little trick to using left over steak or pot roast. My momma taught me this, you can throw it in a food processor with pepper, mayo, and pickles to make a delicious sandwich spread. John thought it was tasty, and I loved mine over an avocado with vinaigrette. Well that is it for now…
Well it is a whopping 2 degrees out. It most certainly does not feel like March here. On these kind of days I must remind myself that if we find ourselves in a warmer climate at our next base, that I will miss the snow…hahaha
Nothing hugely new around here. John had his second volleyball game last night and they won! Yay! Before the game we had some friends over for dinner. I made pot roast, mashed red potatoes with skin on, garlic green beans, and cooked carrots. It was super yummy!
Tonight we have small group. Our executive pastor had to step in for a little while to lead it, because our leaders just had their second baby yesterday. I am making them dinner tonight, and hoping I will get a glimpse of that precious baby. On the menu for them, is homemade lasagna and a green salad.
Hope everyone is enjoying their wednesday!
