Chicago & Quesadillas!

Next week we are going to visit my aunt and uncle in Indianapolis for Thanksgiving! I am so excited and can't wait, I feel like a little kid b/c I call or email him everyday telling only this many more days!!! We are going to Chicago while we are there b/c none of us have ever been there. I love cities and love walking around seeing everything.  I am not very familiar with Chicago and not sure what we must see and do. I am open for suggestions!?!?!
Today has been a cold and rainy day, so we have spent the night indoors.  I made Chicken Quesadillas and rice for dinner and brownies for dessert.  I saw were Jenna from Jenna's Journey made this quesadillas one night and I've been wanting to try it.

Chicken Fajita Quesadilla

Boil and shred chicken breast

Heat chicken and fajita seasoning in skillet with 1/3 cup of water

On large baking sheet spread out totillas

Sprinkle your choice of shredded cheese on to the tortillas

Add the chicken to the tortillas and then fold in half

I sprinkled the left over chicken and cheese on top

Bake for about 10 minutes at 350

So easy and good!

Web Cam!

Web cam the greatest creation ever! So I might sound way out of date but today was my first time using a web cam.  My boss is taking over the Charlotte branch of our company also and he will now be managing both offices.  Well he wanted us to all to get web cams for our computers for training purposes and to communicate witht the Charlotte office. They came in today and oh my goodness no one got any work done after we got them on the computer. We all enjoyed talking to each other.  I have a lap top that I bring home every night and the best part is my Aunt and Uncle in Indianapolis also have a web cam, so I got talk to them tonight and my little cousins! It was so much fun! I've grown up away from family.  They live in Kentucky and Indiana and I'm in North Carolina and can't believe I've gone so long without this.  I'm so telling my whole family to get one so we can talk! I'm also going to try to get Christian's family down in Florida to get one too! Have you ever used a web cam? If so what website do you go through? I've been using Skype...

Other than playing with the web cam tonight, I've been watching all my Tuesday night TV shows! Christian is still working the split shift tonight, so I've been hanging out with Buddy!

Missing the hubby

Tonight has been kind of lonely around here.  Christian has to work a split shift at work for the next two weeks, which means he goes in around 12:30 and doesn't get to come home until around 10:30. Blah...the joys of being the boss. They are in the process of training a lead for this shift, so in the mean time he gets to work the shift.  Oh well...as much as I miss him at night, it gives me a chance to have "me time".  Tonight I went to Ross to see if I could find a tall vase to go beside my fireplace,  I had no luck though. I am in thr process of cleaning out my house and de-cluttering it! So I'm trying to get rid of little things and replace it with one big thing.  We'll see what comes of it..
I also put my Thanksgiving turkey flag up tonight! I love this little flag and I think he is too cute.  You actually blow up his belly to make him round.  This is really my only Thanksgiving decoration.  I have left my fall decorations out too.  I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas!

Well I'm to go get in bed and cuddle with this cute boy!

I believe he was staring at a treat that I was holding up.  That is the only way I can get him to sit still..lol!

Oh Beautiful Day!

Oh my goodness today was such a beautiful day! It was around 75 and sunny and we loved every minute of it! Today was such a good day and fun! We had a great time at church today and really enjoyed the service! This was only our second time visiting this church but we are really enjoying it! They are helping out around 45 families this year, so Christian and I choose a little boy and girl to buy for. I can't wait to go shopping for them, it makes me feel so good to help others, especially children! My company is also adopting a family this year and I can't wait to start shopping for them either!Christian, myself, and our family has so much already to be thankful for, I would rather help others out!
Here is a picture of me I took today while waiting to get out of the church parking lot. I've been taking pictures of myself since I got my hair cut short b/c I love it so much and I like seeing what it looks like in pictures! I know kinda weird. My hair is so easy to do now and I'm ready to go a couple inches shorter when I go back!

After church we met my parents, sister and her family for lunch at Logan's Roadhouse.  I used to work there through high school and college, so it is always fun to go and visit! We were all so busy talking and laughing at lunch I didn't take any pictures.  After we ate we went by my parents to pick a few things up and then headed home.
We spent most of the afternoon outside and walking Buddy since it was so pretty.  Buddy loved this weather, I had to make him come back in this evening.

Here is Daddy and Buddy! I'm suprised he is actually looking at the camera, it is so hard  get that dog to sit still to take a picture. 

And of course we had to get one of Mommy and Buddy! He would not let go of his toy, so the toy is in the picture.  We took him to the pet store this past week and he got this toy.  He has not let that thing out of sight since we brought it home. I mean he seriously sleeps with it on his bed, it's too funny!

And last but not least one of us...I think it turned out good for taking it ourself! We had such a good Sunday and loved spending it with the ones I love most!

Baby Shower!

Today was my friend Amanda's baby shower! My mom and I went for a couple of hours and it was nice to get to see her.  She lives about 4 hours away and I don't get to see her that often.  She is have a little boy and is due the week after Christmas. I hope I look as good as she did when I am 8 months pregnant! I didn't really take many pictures.  I was too busy eating and talking to take pictures but here is one of us!

I know it is hard to tell which one is pregnant, this picture really makes me want to go on a diet! It will have to wait until the holidays are over b/c there is too much good food!

I just wanted to do a quick post but I have to go get ready.  Christan and I are going out to dinner tonight with some friends and they will be here soon!

Rainy Days

This week has not been very pretty, it has rained the last 3 days! I'm grateful for the rain, but can we please have a pretty day soon? We haven't been up to much this week. We had chicken alfredo for dinner tonight at home and then we went to Petsmart.  I wanted to find Buddy a jacket and hat for when we go to Indianapolis b/c he is going to stay in the garage during the day and he isn't use to outside and cold since he is a inside dog.  He does get to come in at night to sleep but during the day there are going to be too many people.  We are staying at my uncles house and so looking forward to being able to take Buddy with us.  I always miss him so much and can't wait to get home.

Popcorn!!!!

My new favorite snack! I think I have had popcorn everyday this week and I wonder why I can't loose weight! I've been taking it to work and eating as a snack, I am actually eating some right now!

The other day I received this email from a co-worker and I thought t was cute and wanted to share it! I think I really like the little saying b/c I am so against people driving and texting. It is so unsafe!

Anyways I hope you all have a had a good day and have a happy FRIDAY!!!!!!!

Happy 1 Month!

Christian and I have been married 1 whole month today! I know it might be crazy to celebrate only 1 month of marriage, but we are still excited. I love you so much Christian and can't wait to celebrate more special days together!

Here is a picture of Christian and I on our honeymoon! I think it is such a cute picture and we look so happily in love with each other!

Tonight Christian and I went out to dinner to celebrate! We ended up at Outback and it was delicious as always.  We took these pictures with my blackberry, so they are kind of fuzzy.  I wish I would have thought to ge one of us together but I didn't.

This picture makes me laugh so hard.  Christian is cheesin' so big in this picture and reminds me of a little kid in this pic getting his picture taken.

Here is one of me and it is not a very good picture.  It has been cold and rainy here today so I wasn't having the best hair day.

I hope you all have had a great day! We are taking it easy now, I'm on the couch watching TV and blogging and Christian is in the other room on his computer.
