One year ago... and some new randomness.

Matt and I were in Rochester, MN at the Mayo clinic this time last year! (And I can't forget the horrible 150mg of Clomid I was on last January! ha!) If you are new to my blog, Matt has been dealing with some sickness for over 2.5 years. We have been to the Mayo clinic and to M.D. Anderson to try to figure out what in the world is wrong with him. He has basically had every test known to man done on him and we still don't have any real clear answers.

In the last year, he has had better days so we have just been trying to get through bad days. I am not going to go into what all his symptoms are but as we struggle through infertility, I am just asking for prayers. Its very hard on us to both have medical issues. I just hate to see him not feeling good and not having the quality of life that a 31 year old should have! We have a lot of happy living to do together so I am praying that we are just getting some of the hard years over with now! :)

Ok, on to some other random stuff... Something very exciting happened January 16th. Our church, Cross Church, opened a new campus that is literally 2 minutes from our house! We have attended the last 2 weeks and we are loving that we can be apart of such an amazing church that wants to reach so many people in Northwest Arkansas!

Have y'all been watching the last season of Oprah?! Oh my word, most of her shows have been AMAZING! I want to go to Australia so bad now after her 4 part series when she took her audience to Australia! And then this week, we find out she has a sister! Craziness!

The Kindle has kept me from watching so much tv but it can't keep me away from the Bachelor!!

I think he is the cutest bachelor ever. Yes, he might be a little awkward at times and dosen't have the biggest personality but, I still really like him! There are some serious crazies on this season. I can't wait to for it to get down the final girls! I normally read www.realitysteve.com every year but this year, I have decided to refrain!! I am just going to watch the show and try to enjoy it even though the crazy girls drive me mad! ha!

Last, but not least on my most random post ever... Fayetteville just got a mongolian grill!!

Create your own Asian stir-fry! Choose from our fresh selection of meats, seafood,

I am SO EXCITED about this! I first ate at one in Dallas and then again in Nashville. I am going to try in out soon with some friends and I can't wait!

Sorry my blogging has been so random lately! But thanks for all your book suggestions in the last post. I love them and can't wait to update on my next good reads soon! Hope everyone is having a good week!

Pumpkin Dip.

My friend, Michelle over at Yount Happenings , posted this really yummy fall pumpkin dip the other day! I made it last night and it was DELICIOUS! My co-workers are loving it and my twitter friends are wanting to the recipe so here you go!!

Pumpkin Dip:

2 cups powdered sugar

2 8-ounce packages cream cheese

1 can pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

2 cups Cool Whip

Beat softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Stir in powdered sugar and blend well. Add pumpkin, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice and blend well. Fold in Cool Whip. Chill and serve. You can serve it in a cue bowl along with vanilla wafers, ginger snap cookies, graham crackers or whatever sounds yummy to you!

Weekend Randomness

We had a great few days at home this past weekend! Saturday, I did some wedding hair and then Matt and I took a nap! He never takes naps but I on the other hand, love naps so taking a 3 hour nap was wonderful!! Then we went on a dinner/movie date!

We LOVE Outback and haven't been there in a while. We ate so much and left there stuffed!

I let Matt choose the movie... We saw Get Him to the Greek. I knew it would be crude and funny but it really was not good!! I wouldn't recommend this movie at all!

Then on Sunday we went to church and then I let Matt choose our lunch spot...

And he wanted IHOP! It's one of my favorite places but I really wanted something somewhat healthy but oh those pancakes delicious!!

We worked around the house the rest of the day and got a lot done! I caught up on laundry, cleaned bathrooms, changed sheets and vacuumed the house! It feels so good to have all those things done. It was really hot outside so we waited until early evening to work in the yard. I pulled weeds and then we re-mulched our flower beds. We rent the house we live in so we don't want to put a lot of money into it but we also want it to look decent! I thought the new mulch looked much better!

Matt ran out of daylight while mowing the back yard! I had to run an errand and when I came back I found this...

He said " You might be a redneck if you tape flash lights on a lawn mower and wear another on your head to mow at 9:30pm"! I was cracking up!!

Romeo had a good weekend relaxing and enjoyed having his mom and dad at home with him all day!

Sorry for the lag in blog post recently! I don't know what is my problem but I just have not had any motive to blog! But... I am working on a hair.chat post and will have it up hopefully tomorrow!
