A Few Things...

#1: We got a new car!!!!

It is a 2003 Subaru LegacySorry... I did not realize it had gotten dark when I decided to go out and take pictures. It has a sun roof and a moon roof! Oh, and a rack, which Tyler is excited about.The interior is really pretty nice--we have cup holders!!! We do have floor mats but they are still in a bag in the back from being at a dealership.

The back is pretty cool, cause it has a special little safety feature for car seats. We love it and are super excited to have a car again. Anyone need a ride?

#2: I made a really yummy meal!

I made a delicious stew today and it made me so happy. I love comfort food!

#3: I made Aragorn's dagger from Lord of the Rings for my stagecraft class.

Here it is, but it is a little longer and less curvy than Aragorn because of the wood I had to use.It had a nice real leather (pleather) handle and I really carved Elvish into the blade. I am pretty proud of myself, Tyler only helped a little bit.

#4: I helped out with SVU's play She Loves Me backstage and also built the set for my stagecraft class.

The set turned out amazing. It was a revolving set with one side as the inside of the store and the other as the exterior of the shop and street. I painted and put up all those shelves. Cut and made the railing on the top, helped paint, put up the foam bricks, built the main structure and learned a lot in my stagecraft class.Thats all for now! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Wifely Duties

I have finally been able to fulfill some of my wifely duties! I have been working so much and going to school that I have hardly had a chance to make a real dinner (except on Sunday), or clean up the house or anything! This week I am not working at all (at Tuscany) because I am helping backstage with SVU's play, "She Loves Me". I am still gone from 7:30-11, but I was able to be home during dinner time. Tyler and I had time to do dishes and then I made Tyler a delicious Italian meal.

This would be me cooking dinner tonight...I made cookies on Sunday, so I thought i could throw this in here as counting for 'wifely duties'. The great thing is, is that I finally found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I think is just about perfect. I have been searching and trying many chocolate chip recipes over the past few months trying to find the right one (it can't be a special kind with peanut butter, or M&M's in it---just a plain old regular recipe). So, I was looking on my favorite baking website, joyofbaking.com, and decided to try their chocolate chunk cookie recipe (not the chocolate chip recipe, which is also on the website). It was delicious and the cookies looked absolutely beautiful as well. Yummm! I just had to share that, as I had been searching for the perfect recipe for a few months now and i was pretty excited.

Tyler and I are doing really well. We are still pretty busy, but now that soccer is over our life will slow down just a little bit. I am glad he played though, because they had a great season, a great team and I loved watching him play. That all for now as I better get to bed!!
