Couldn't ask for anything more...




Words cannot express how much I love those two boys above! They bring joy to my life daily. But this post is about my amazing husband. I really could not ask for more. Not only is he dedicated to our family and whole heartedly serves the Lord, but he also serves me all the time.
I have not been feeling well since Friday, since I seemed to be getting worse every day, I decided to go to the doctor instead of my usual of taking NyQuil for a month. I left the doctor yesterday morning with two shots, an antibiotic and nasal spray to rid me of "walking pneumonia!" I could not believe that I had this. I knew I felt bad.... but never imagined I was that sick. Glad I went in.
Needless to say, when I got home from work yesterday (because I took off last week 2 days because Wyatt was sick, and just cannot take any more time away from the classroom right now), Andrew was cooking dinner. He made the entire meal, cleaned up the entire kitchen, played with Wyatt while I laid on the couch, got Wyatt ready for bed and then sent me to take a bath and go to bed. I was in bed by 8:45. When I woke up this morning he had done ALL my laundry, ALL Wyatt's laundry, straightened the house and put all the clean dishes away.
I do not think I could be taken care of any better than this. Andrew always helps around the house, but he took away ALL responsibilities of mine so that I can rest. Thank you babe for loving me so much, and serving our house. Wyatt and I couldn't ask for a better Daddy or Husband!
I love you!!!!!!!

My taste buds are gone...

Man, I caught either what Wyatt had, or something from school. I started feeling bad Friday morning. I thought it was just a stuffy nose and would go away, but each day it has slowly gotten worse.

Friday night I sat on the couch, ate Chick Fil A and watched Julie and Julia after a full day home from school taking care of Wyatt who was really sick. Loved the movie by the way.

Saturday I took 26 kids to work with Habitat for Humanity, got my nails done with some church friends and then crashed at home. Andrew brought be McAlisters and a LARGE sweet tea and rented two movies. What an Amazing husband! Then again... crashed.

Today I have felt the worse. I am hoping it is over since I cannot take anymore days from school, or I would rather not. Andrew and I woke up to head to church this morning and it was a chore getting ready. I was exhausted and coughing up a storm. We got to church and our wonderful Friends sent us home and took over my teaching for the 11th grade class. We are very blessed.

Needless to say, Since I have been sick I don't have taste buds. I hate it!!!!!!!! I crave things and can't taste what I am eating. Maybe Ice cream will fix it?!! Have you ever been sick and can't taste anything? It is the worst.

So say a prayer that Wyatt is sooo much better tomorrow, and that I wake up refreshed. GO AWAY ICKYness far away from our home.........

Stuffed Pepper's Recipe

Ingredients:

4 large green peppers
1 lb ground turkey
1 can rotel
pepper
onion salt
1 slice of bread
cheese

Start by cutting the tops off of the peppers and cleaning out the insides. Throw away tops. Place the cleaned peppers in a large skillet of boiling water. Boil the whole peppers for about 10 minutes or until soft.

While peppers are boiling brown meat. Add pepper and onion salt to meat while cooking. After meat is cooked, drain excess liquid from meat.

Place meat back into skillet and add the can of rotel. Let the meat and rotel simmer until the most of the juice is soaked into the meat.

Stand the peppers up on a baking sheet. Fill the peppers with the meat/rotel mixture.

Tear up the slice of bread and place a few pieces on top of each pepper. Then put a dab of butter on top of the bread and sprinkle with cheese.

Cook in the over at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until bread is crispy.

Remove and serve immediately.

I always serve the stuffed peppers with Red New Potatoes. It is one of our favorite meals!!!

Hope you enjoy!
