In Steven's family it is a requirement that the new comers must learn two recipes: Wendy's (mom) homemade chicken noodle soup (with homemade noodles) and Grandma Giles' famous chocolate chip cookies. I haven't learned the soup yet, but the cookies...I love to bake them! I have baked them once a week since I have learned how (about a month ago). You have to understand that I don't enjoy baking and cooking and things of that nature. Steven and Grandpa don't mind that I bake them so often either. Now i just need to find a meal that I enjoy cooking that much.
Last week I started a Castle marathon. Castle is the TV series about a mystery writer that teams up with an NYPD detective and they solve murder mysteries together. (They make a totally cute and perfect couple but its taking 4 seasons for the characters to do anything about it!!) I started one week ago and i caught up last night. 4 seasons worth. Two more episodes and the season finishes....I'm dying!! Of course with the Castle overload my dreams have been quite interesting and my paranoia has been heightened. Its hard to walk through my dark hallway and if I lay awake at night I have visions of intruders wishing us harm...I don't think i'll be having murder mystery marathons that often now... The other day I woke up trying to solve a murder. I couldn't get out of bed until I had figured out "who done it" from my dream. I was almost late for work. Luckily reality caught up with me with just enough time to get ready. Another way I can tell that I am way too attatched is that when the characters get their hearts broken, mine breaks too and I can't rest until I hear steven tell me he loves me. I also bawled for ten minutes at the season finale of season 3. Epic ending.
Wendy (mother-in-law) showed me how to use the sewing machine they gave me. Hooray! I couldn't figure it out. Just my luck, my first project: I'm fixing Steven's sweatpants and the needle breaks. Sewing machines hate me. They did in 7th grade TLC and they do now.
Side note: With this new job, somehow, I get to spend more time with Steven. At least it seems like it. I love it :) I am one lucky girl!
Goal: Post more often.
I don't get on here to update often, so, I apologize if you were hoping I posted and haven't. If there is a new post, Lucky You! For now this blog is just an update of what is happening in our lives as a couple, individuals, and soon to be bigger family. I am so very excited for this big change in our lives and I will try and keep you updated. If there is anything you want to know or have me blog about, just ask. I'll probably comply. Enjoy :)
