Sooo we are still waiting on the internet peeps to finish hooking up our internet...you know the internet that we were supposed to have last week. Oh well, hopefully it will get done within the next couple days.
So I just wanted to do a quick recap of whats been going on with the Simpsons! (I love saying that!)
Last Tuesday we had the Meltons over for dinner. We had a lot of fun just hanging out and talking. We had country porkchops. It is one of my new favorite recipes! I got it from a cookbook we got as a wedding present. YUM! Micheal brought home some cream filled pastries from the his department at United. He told me that people would ask him what they tasted like so he had to buy them in order to be a good employee! (Yeah. Right.) I think someone just wanted an excuse to bring them home! HAHA! (Sidenote: This is a regular occurence at our house...he comes home with all kinds of sweet from United...but its ok because I love him!) Anyway...so far the only people who like the afore mentioned pastries are Micheal and his brother, David. Andy and Meg literally despised them and gave Micheal the hardest time for making them try them! Ha Ha! It was soo funny!
So I have been going to Snap Fitness pretty consistently...I went 3 times last week. My goal is to go at least 4 nights a week. Hopefully I can make that happen this week. The good news is that my body no longer feels like it is falling apart! I feel really good about myself for going and doing something good for my health. I want to try to start eating better but it is soooo hard! I have such a hard time figuring out what is healthy when I cook. For instance, last night I made a chicken stir fry with carrots and broccoli. The chicken was marinated in a little oil and soy sauce but other than that there were really no other seasonings and I served it over brown rice. I think that sounds like a healthy meal but I could be wrong! HaHa! I am trying to find some good recipes that I can add into our weekly meals. Wish me luck! :-)
On Friday I got to go to Seminole and hang out with my cousin Kayla all day!! It was so fun! We talked about how every time we see each other it is because we have something to do, but this time we literally did nothing all day except for talk! I love hanging out with her! I am so glad we have stayed close through all these years! We always talk about how we want our kids to be close. Kayla and I have so many wonderful memories from when we were growing up! We want our kids to have great memories spent with cousins too!
On Saturday Micheal and I went to Lubbock for a date! We basically hung out all day! It was so great! We spent our giftcards from Christmas and then went to the movies and out to dinner. We saw "We Bought a Zoo". We both really liked it! :-) I told Micheal I didn't care where we ate as long as I could order fish. I am trying to eat a little better and I loved grilled fish! We ended up going to Rock Fish! It was very good! We were both impressed with the food and the prices! We found it to be a lot cheaper than Red Lobster! We will definitley be going back there sometime!
Finally, we finished up the weekend going to church and having a wonderful youth service on Sunday evening. I mentioned the new study we are doing in my last post and it is sooo good! We had 2 new young ladies come on Sunday who were very eager to learn more about who Jesus is. I was able to anwer some questions for them and it was just so cool to watch God move in there hearts throughout the service. Plus we found out that one of the young ladies just moved into a house on our street all the way from California! It is just so cool how God works!
Well, that pretty much catches everyone up on our week last week! Hopefull next time I post it will be in my house with my internet! :-)

Stream of Consciousness
It's kind of a dreary, blah day outside..I really wish it would rain!!
I went to the new gym in town last night called Snap Fitness. I go with my mom, De, and Shonda. I hope I can stick with it since I have a group to go with. I was sooo excited to go last night. I don't know why I always think working out will be so much fun. Ha ha! Somehow my mind tricks itself into really believing that it will be a piece of cake!! I did have fun but there is no denying how out of shape I am.
Tonight the Meltons are coming over for dinner. We are celebrating Meg's birthday!I am so excited however from the hour of 5-7 I will be doing some serious cleaning of our casa! Ha Ha! I really should have people come over every day because it seems that is the best way to motivate me to deep clean my house! Ha!
As a part of our Staff Bible Study at work we were challenged to show someone God's love in a tangible way. I am praying and looking for opportunities to do that but for some reason I am really stressing about it! I don't know what to do and it seems the harder I look the more confused I get on what I should do. I am just going to step back and trust God to show me what I should do.
I had a lady come up to me at work the other day and say, "I don't want to rush you but how many kids are you going to have?" The question totally caught me off guard. I thought she was talking about some event at church and wanted to know how many kids were coming! Ha Ha!
We started a new series in our youth group on Sunday Nights called "Dig Deep" The whole idea message of the study is "what is your foundation". This question really makes me stop and think. I think sometimes I allow other things in my life to comfort me and lift me up when I get down rather than turning to Christ. I am really hoping that this study will help everyone involved truly learn how to make Christ their one and only foundation.
I love seeing Micheal's shoes laying around the house. It reminds me that we live together and I still think that is sooo cool! :-)
On Sunday we were married 3 months. I cannot believe it! On one hand it has flown by...but on the other hand our wedding and honeymoon seem like a million years ago!
Yesterday we went to Nana and Poppa's house to celebrate Poppa's birthday. We had a good time. We made chicken alfredo and Spaghetti and meatballs and just enjoyed being together. Last year on Poppa's birthday he was very sick and in a lot of pain. In fact, January of last year was when he began a 4 month hospital stay where he spent a lot of time in ICU. We didn't know if he was going to make it or not. We are so thankful to have Poppa with us and mostly for the fact that he feels good! Just a reminder about how truly good our God is!
Well I gotta run to the grocery store and head home to clean up and get ready for our dinner guests!!
Happy Tuesday!

Good News!!
We should be getting internet at our house sometime this week!!!
I am sooo excited because I can finally upload and post our wedding and honeymoon pictures!
Sadly I lost my camera charger sometime on our honeymoon. It is driving me crazy because I was sooooo careful to make sure we had all of our stuff when we packed to head home. I am still cautiously optimistic that I will find it somewhere random but I am still going to buy a new one.
I haven't been able to take one single picture since we got back from our honeymoon.
Sad day!!
On the bright side...we have a whole lifetime to take pictures!! :-)
I will be back soon!! :-)

One of the funnest and most amazing days of my life
The day I married my best friend, my sweetheart, and my first and only love.
The day I was completely overwhelmed with the love and outpouring that Micheal and I were shown.
The day I walked down the aisle with gum in my mouth. (The ONLY thing I would change)
The day I cried my eyes out when I saw my dad for the first time that day.
The day where I had a complete and total peace about everything that was happening.
The day my wonderful Mom helped me put on the prettiest dress ever.
The day my amazing bridesmaids stood next to me as I married Micheal. I am so glad they were there with me.
The day my beautiful cousin Kayla did my hair and made me look so pretty!
The day God answered my prayers...I am so glad we waited on His timing.
I cannot believe that day was almost 3 months ago!
I promise I will do a post with a complete wedding update including pictures very soon!
We don't have internet at our house right now so its hard to find the time to upload pictures and blog.
That's a poor excuse but its the truth!
