A New Beginning!

So much has been going on in our lives the past few weeks! We are FINALLY all settled in to our house....which is perfect!!! Jarrod is loving his new job....and I'm really loving looking for a new job.....NOT!!!!

As most of you know teaching jobs are basically out of the question right now so I have ventured to find something else....still looking! :)

I know that God will put me wherever I am supposed to be at this time. I am keeping faith and praying every day that he will lead me in the right direction.....even if it is the Wal-Mart greeter!!!

I am so in love with this area of Texas!!! Jarrod and I are smack in the middle of our families and very close to many of our college friends! I love that I can go spend the afternoon with my grandmother and paint her fingernails while she tells me stories.....I couldn't be happier!

Courtney invited me to  a Ranger's game last Sunday and I was so excited! I missed everyone so much last year and I was so excited to be able to go hang out with one of my friends on a Sunday afternoon! I even got to see Kristen when we were at the game.....so of course we all made plans to see each other at least every other week....duh!!!! Needless to say the game was amazing and so were the seats! We saw Nolan Ryan....no one believes me but I did actually get a picture of his head and we saw Michael Young's momma....she was hilarious!!! I had such a great time!

I've also been on a new cookbook kick as well......anyone who knows me knows that I love weight watchers and everything about it.....maybe I should apply to be a spokes person for them! Anyway.....Hungry Girl (Lisa Lillian) is absolutely fantastic!!! She just came out with a new cookbook call "300 under 300." It's everything you can imagine.....from breakfasts to desserts and everything in between! I've been picking on of her desserts to make every week for my hubby to take to work with him.....even Jarrod loves this food (I just don't tell him what's in it!). I'm also in love with the Skinny Cow Candy.....It's like heaven in your mouth!!!! I felt the need to share because I am always looking for new food finds and I actually found the cookbook BEFORE my mom and my sister.....which was an EPIC WIN for me because I'm always the last one to know about everything!!!!

All-in-all I must say that I could not be happier with my life right now.....with the exception of the "no job" issue....but I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband that never gives up on me and is always so upbeat about my job search! And believe me.....when I do find a job everyone will know! :)

Until Next Time......
