Wow ... has been awhile!

It has been awhile since I have blogged here! Sorry .. it has been busy around here. Hubby came home so I have been keeping busy. It has been nice having him back. He is my best friend and I have missed him. I only have 7.5 weeks left to work! Ahhhhhh! Kind of nerve wracking to think about but we will make it. God has provided well for us thus far. Even though we don't deserve it most of the time. I look forward to being home though so I can make it cleaner than it is. Working full time and trying to keep the house clean as I would really like to see it is next to impossible with all the critters. And since they are a big part of my life, it isn't something I can ignore. So I will be glad to have a clean house again!! I get to cook again ... I have decided to start cooking with spices to decide what spices we want to grow to keep around the house. I made some really good chicken last night for Scott and I. I crushed up some ritz crackers, added some rosemary and basil to it then pounded out the chicken and spread some olive oil on it then rolled it in the cracker mixture and baked it. It was pretty good. I like the combination of those two spices. It would have been perfect with salt and pepper. I kinda forgot those two in my excitement of trying something new. I am really like a cat when it comes to routine. I know it seems pretty flaky that I am excited about cooking with spices. But it really is out of my routine. I mean in the near future, my whole life is going to be changed and turned upside down. So I am trying to go with a positive mind set to make things easier ... going outside of my comfort zone so to speak!! But actually I think I am rather excited about going outside my comfort zone. So maybe I am not so much about the same thing as I thot I was. But of course, as I get older, a lot of my normal likes and dislikes have been changing. Ahhh ... life. I did get to have some awesome fun tonight though. A co-worker and friend of mine owns two horses and she invited me to come and spend some time tonight in the barn. I was in heaven!! If Sunday's weather is good, we are going to go riding. I am so excited!! I will be able to learn somethings about horses and how to care for them. It will be good to know this for that one day I hope to have my own!! Anyway, that is about it. I mean there is a lot more than that since the last time I wrote on here but it doesn't come to my mind at this time. I will try to post a little more often now!!
