And it's July

July. July. July. It makes me cringe! Because I know sc..sch..scho...yuck..I can't even say it. Anyway..IT is around the corner. Now this time next year..I'll be looking forward to it. Why? I'll be sitting behind the big desk. Keeper of the red pen. Recess dismisser. Shoe-tier. Snot wiper. Crayon loaner. De-germer. In otherwords..teacher and happily so. This student business is getting old. Don't ya think. Aren't you guys tired of talking and thinking about my studentness? If so..get tired of it because coming this May I shall no longer be a studentess. And I can go back to loving the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, hot off the press books, and wide-lined notebook paper. Oh and seeing it all get put out at Wal-Mart. Scratch that. Target for sure. Ahhh...

There's a box of Girl's Scout cookies on my desk. Thin Mints. Yup. Yum. Yikes. There's only about 4 left. Jessica ,lovely co-worker and personal friend, (who blogs at jessicakcampbell.wordpress.com) and I just ate 2 each. They decrease in number quickly. But rightfully so. They're delicious.

In case you haven't noticed...this post is well a little random. It's normal for me..but if it's not for you..ya might as well get used to it. Also these (......) commonly known as dots, periods, circles, etc....I'm fond of them and use entirely too many of them in daily writing, texting, emailing, typing.....the list goes on...............................................................

I've really been enjoying cooking/baking lately! Last night zucchini bread. Last week delicious white bread! About the zucchini bread though...had a terrible time convincing Josh that it was not the nastiest conglomeration he had ever seen. Truth be told...I actually think he would enjoy it. That will be a mystery probably until the next batch. Tonight he suggested we have Hamburger Helper. :( It's an insult to my skill but I'm thankful he doesn't expect a 5-course meal daily! Lower expectations of my cooking = a happier and more suprised stomach. Hahahaha

Oh and gardening has been high on my list of fun things as well! We are awaiting our first bell pepper! Yum yum!

Hate to run but my blog post is at a near end due to the approaching 5 o'clock and end to my work day and internet accessibility! Good night to all and to all a goodnight! Gee, I can't wait for Christmas! :)

Good afternoon!

Goodafternoon! Brooke here blogging from CEAT Continuing Education, my current place of employment. Today the most exciting thing happened...we got to see more of our professional pictures from the wedding! Let me just say: Amanda Daniels is the best! Check them out for yourself by going to her blog: http://www.amandadaniels.com/photography/2010/06/brooke-josh-wedding/

No guesses as to Tuesday night's dinner, eh? Well try Wednesdays....handful of pasta, chicken, & zucchini? Come on..take a guess.

On a different note: Today my work had what we call a "food day". Creative right? Haha not so much, but definently tasty. They are quite frequent around here. We usually have some sort of a homemade theme. Today's theme: Potato Bar. DELICIOUS! I always forget how good baked potatos are! If you haven't had one in a while..you should go for it! My lovely friend & co-worker, Taylor, made a delicious broccoli/cheese sauce. Try it out: 2 big bags of broccoli florets; some sour cream; & 2 cans of Campbells cheese soup. Yum. Anywho enough of the recipes.

To pass some time today I made a list of things I take for granted. You should too. I take for granted more things than I thought I did. What are you grateful for today? Spellcheck? Haha.

Well...back to "work"!

WE'RE MARRIED!

...10 days today to be exact! We returned from our honeymoon Sunday and have really been enjoying our new house. We just started opening all of our gifts from the wedding and have already put a few to use! We had our first homecooked meal yesterday evening. Can you guess what it was? Here's two ingredients it included: tomatoes and 1/4lb of ground beef. Think simple. :) And then I made strawberry shortcake...but neither of us ate any...although I had some for breakfast! Yum. Oh and haha..this is funny...we don't have a table yet and so we laid a blanket on the living room floor and ate picnic style...it was quite the site..especially since we don't have any curtains! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!
