Meal Plan Monday

How is it already Monday? It seems as though time is just flying by. It's Monday and that means anothe meal plan. This week is a little different as we have rodeo tickets two nights but I'll once or twice (maybe).

Monday: Empanadas at Aaron's house
Tuesday: Rodeo
Wednesday: Chicken parmasean, pasta and roasted green beans
Thursday: Rodeo
Friday: Small group
Saturday: out to dinner if I pass the boards

So not our typical week but those are fun every once in a while.

THE Day

Well today was "THE Day" as we had begun to call it around here; the day of my national board exam for occupational therapy. This is the last step for me to practice as an occupational therapist in Texas. It is one of those things that you just aren't quite sure how it is going to go and in my mind was built up to the impossible. I have studied for the past seven weeks and let me tell you - I have NEVER studied like that in my life. And hopefully, I won't have to ever again! I took the tets this morning and overall I feel pretty good about it. Of course, I am preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. The results aren't posted for a week so all that's left to do is wait and pray. Stay tuned for a (hopefully happy) update next week!

Meal Plan Monday

Yes I'm a day early but I am headed to the store so thought I would post it now. My goal is to post every Monday what we're having. I do so much better with a plan. And yes, most of our dinners come via pinterest. So here's what's cooking at our house this week:

Monday: Tacos, refried beans and spanish rice
Tuesday: Chicken Pesto Pasta Shells, cesear salad and garlic bread
Wednesday: Which Wich (my request for the night before my exam)
Thursday: Aaron's house (we are so blessed that his mom has us over when she cooks, and it's always so yummy!)
Friday - Coconut Chicken, jasmine rice and broccoli
Saturday - BBQ chicken sandwiches, sweet potatoe fries

Now I'm hungry thinking about it all...off to the grocery store!

Welcome!

Welcome to my corner of blog world - I'm so glad you stopped by! I have been enjoying reading and keeping up with several blogs for a year or so now and decided to carve out my own little corner of the web and chronicle our lives here. We are in the midst of wedding planning so I'm sure that will provide for some good blogging along the way. Ever since the soon-to-be Mr. came along I dove into the cooking world headfirst so I hope to share the recipes I have found for my ever so picky meat and potatoes guy. I've always promised him that if something is terrible we will order pizza but so far the pizza number is still untouched on the refrigerator. Also, I am an avid bargain shopping so hopefully I'll share my favorite finds with all of you along the way. One of my friends once told me that if there was a good bargain to be found within a 15 mile radius of where I was, I would find it. I think this will be fun so let the blogging begin!
