Married Life


We have been married for three weeks now! Time is flying by! Last weekend we took a trip up to see our friends Marcai and Randy and got to meet their 8 day old baby boy Noah! It was so much fun to spend time with them, we are so excited for them and their new addition, he is precious! Chad went back to work Monday and I have been getting the house set up, it's really fun because we don't have much (besides our wedding gifts which are amazing! Our kitchenware is SO NICE) but we are making the most out of it. We know in a few months from now when I've been working as a nurse that things will be so much better and so it makes it fun to just blow off the fact that we are on a tight budget. Chad and I saw Julie and Julia this afternoon- it was GREAT! It's right up my ally since I am obsessed with everything to do with cooking, especially French Cuisine lately. Then we went furniture shopping and out to a late dinner with my parents.
We are babysitting 8 kids tomorrow ALL DAY for the Neria family. We love babysitting together because then we can get our "kids share" out of the way and appreciate children while also appreciating the fact that we are very happy to wait before adding to our family :). I love the girls like my sisters so it's never really work when I am there. Then Sunday night I am going out with some friends to Derby's Deli for my birthday dinner, I hear it's an awesome place! They have dueling piano players and I love live music so it should be great! Plus I have the most amazing friends EVER so it's always great to spend time with them. Another great piece of news is that two special couples got engaged since we've been married! Noel and Scott and Kelly and Nick! We are so excited for more wedding fun, and we are happy to be on the other side of it for a switch. I loved my wedding and everything about it but it's nice to be more laid back and not the center of attention for a while.
Well, Chad is getting back with movies from BB so time to pop one in before bedtime. It's so great to sleep next to him, my heart is happy, I can feel it smiling from the inside!

Feeling Inspired!

I am feeling inspired today! I love making homemade baby food for my beautiful boy! I really can't say enough about the huge advantage making your own baby food is. The price alone is an immediate seller. I buy organic, locally grown produce and spend about 15-25 dollars which lasts me at least a month. If we were buying the same amount of jarred organic baby food we would be spending about 100 dollars a month. Big difference! I also love knowing exactly what goes in my son's (cute) little tummy. No preservatives, no food dye, and no processed food for him. Another big plus is that I can introduce him to flavors and foods that are unique and typically not found in your average baby food. Currently, I am steaming some yams, zucchini, chicken, green beans and rosemary-all certified organic and yummy of course. I call it "R oast Chicken Dinner" - fancy huh? I will then dish them into my BPA free ice cube holders and freeze. After that, I'll make yams, peaches, pears ...

Time is rolling on and life is rolling right along with it! Yesterday was our official 1 month anniversary, it seems so small compared to 8 years of loving each other but still, celebrating never gets old! Rachel started her new job yesterday as a perioperative RN and UCI. I have never seen/ been a part of a more amazing hospital and the benefits are incredible, by far the best hospital around! I feel blessed to be a part of their periop team. We have a robot called The DaVinci that surgeons use to preform Urological surgeies ! It's a little overwhelming but we will learn and we will be great Rn's once we are done with our training program. This is a picture of my homemade pizza. The dough was even homemade ! It was a 2 hour event, I got a little stressed attempting to flatten the dough out after we had already flattened and then balled it up again. Note: After you roll the dough out DONT start over, just keep it flat, folding it over onto itself is a disaster...

When the Poop Hits the Fan- LITERALLY!

Day 4 in the bag! Phew, barely. Today was too classic not to blog about, so hopefully it brings a smile to your face. :) Woke up this morning with serious tummy issues only to find both Elijah and Jameson feeling under the weather.  Cancelled our Thursday playdate and we lounged around hydrating and just taking it easy (OK they were taking it easy, me, on the other hand, that's a joke. I am a mom of 3 littles after all. I was playing Mommy Nurse). Around 11 we sat down to do school. Now, Elijah's participation is hit and miss, which I completely expected.  He is always game for music time (he is a dancing king after all) and game time. But today he decided he wanted to join for all of it.  So little Mister with his pensive mind asked "Why?" only 80 gazillion times today.  We stopped and had a snack every 10 minutes (Elijah is my hungry boy after all) and a few water breaks (thirsty boy too). Get my drift? Lots of breaks and pauses with him a...
