Stuff!

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! :-)
