The weekend ahead!

Today is Wednesday which makes tomorrow Thursday, but technically its Friday since Andy has Friday off...which means PARTY AT THE STOCKHOFF'S! hehe. Well sort of, but our good friend Bobbo is paying us a nice visit from Georgia and I know that Andy and I are both very excited. Andy and Bob have already planned a fun filled day of College Foot Ball on Saturday, so what does that mean for me you ask? I have NO idea! I thought maybe I would get a head start on some crafts...but then again we don't have a craft store within an hour of here...so next option? Browse Facebook...but really, how long can one browse Facebook...especially when they do it every other day. I am in desperate need of some good suggestions, so please feel free to send yours my way.

Tonight we had the missionaries over for dinner. It was a good time and we had a good meal. BBQ pork (Andy's choice) with corn on the cob, baked beans and watermelon. Good thing about this meal is everything was pretty much already pre-made, so I just had to "put together", and we enjoyed it. I have found that I really enjoy cooking, much more then I ever imagined I would. The problem I run into is figuring out WHAT to cook, I really feel like I make the same meals and just rotate them days. I even suggested that we have a 'breakfast' day each week where we eat a breakfast food for dinner. I haven't kept up with that one though, breakfast food is the bomb - but it isn't always craved. I think I spend a total of 10 hours per week looking for new recipes, and always end up making something I have already made. I really want to learn how to make sushi, that is my new thing. So maybe I will develop my sushi talents and work as a chef. That reminds me, has anyone ever seen the show Top Chef on Bravo? I weawwy wike it. :) You should check it out.

Anyway, I think I am beginning to ramble since it is getting late and I have been up since 6am. Until another time...see you.

First Attempt...

This is my very first attempt at blogging...I am not exactly sure how it all works but I suppose I just write in this and then all my friends can read it :) hehehe Anyway, we are currently living in Fort Leonard Wood, MO. Its actually really nice to be settled a little since we lived out of our suit cases for over a month on our honeymoon. Its really crazy to think that we have been married 2 months next week! Time sure flies by!

I told Andy we really need to do something for our 2 month anniversary, but I have a feeling I will be the one to plan it. Which I am OK with. We have really enjoyed our time here so far, except for the fact that I am having trouble finding a job. I never did like looking for a job, but I especially don't like looking when I can't find one. I applied for a job at one of the local High Schools for a Library Secretary position, but low and behold I call to check today and the position was filled this morning, no call or nothing. So we will just keep praying for opportunities and I am sure something will open up soon. Anyway, enough of my blabbing. We did go to STL almost two weeks ago to see a Saint Louis Cardinals game, who just happened to be playing the Dodgers, so of course Andy was in heaven. While we were there we took my little brother Mike and his companion (who are serving their missions in STL) to dinner at the Olive Garden. It has been almost exactly one year since I have seen him, and it was great to have him meet Andy for the first time. We also took at trip up to STL last weekend to go to the temple, we really enjoyed it and plan to make it a monthly thing. This week is almost over and next week is a short one because of Labor day ( we love vacations)! Bob is coming to visit us, which we are especially excited about. Andy and Bob are already planning to watch College Foot Ball Saturday in High Def. You think it would be Christmas morning they are so excited. ha. Until another time! See you!
