I’ve created a facebook fan page for my blog!

I am planning on posting blog updates, giveaways, and other fun stuff on the facebook page. If you’re a facebook user, I’d love to have you stop by! Check out the new page here. It is still in the super early stages, but I hope to have a few things up soon!

First of all, sorry for the weird spacing. Ugh, Blogger drives me crazy sometimes!

So, I tried a new recipe last night. I’m really trying to do more cooking at home instead of eating out or heating a frozen meal. I’ve downloaded a couple of recipe aps on my iPhone, and I’m really enjoying trying new things. Thought I’d share the one I made last night!

Cheddar Ranch Turkey Burgers

1 lb ground turkey
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 pkg. ranch dressing mix

Found out about this from Aubrey! Thanks for posting about it, girlie!

I have a couple of other posts in the works. Hopefully I’ll get those up in the next couple of days!

Jen’s Favorite Fridays is now Fun Fridays, a place to post the most fun thing that happened during the week or something fun coming up for the weekend!

We are staying with Carol Ann and her family.

Friday night, we are going to Dalton and EA’s HS football game. Dalton is in the band and EA is in color guard. Can’t wait to watch them!

We are also hoping to get to see Susan and her family while we’re there.

We are coming back to H-town on Saturday, so I’m hoping that I get to hang out with Jessica for a bit Saturday night. I’m also hoping we get to make a detour to Frisco and go to Sam Moon!

I’m linking up with Katie on Thoughtless Thursday today! Have y’all seen this adorable little boy that was on Ellen a few days ago? So precious!

Today’s Top 2 Tuesday is favorite songs! There are SO many songs that I could list, so to keep this from going on and on, I’m going to give you my all-time favorite song and my favorite song of the moment.

1. “The Dance”-Garth Brooks

This song is my absolute favorite and probably always will be! It has such a beautiful message, and Garth has such a great voice!

2. “Postcard from Paris”-The Band Perry

Love these guys! I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for the past few weeks. I just love it!

What songs do you love? Link up with Taylor!

Cannot.
Believe.
It’s Monday.
Already.

Anyone else thing that the weekend went by entirely too fast?

I’m going to apologize now, because this is probably going to be the longest blog post EVER.

I have no exciting weekend news for ya. Last week was a super crazy week, so I laid in my bed and caught up on Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice on Friday night. I laid in my bed until like 1:00 on Saturday, then went to my adoptive family’s house to watch the OU game.
Let’s talk about the OU game for a second. That was seriously the most stressful game ever! Now, I’m not one to really complain about football refs. I know that they are on the field and see things differently than we see on tv, but the OU refs? COME ON! When the tv is replaying a "touchdown" over and over from several different angles and it is clearly NOT a touchdown, how do you still call it a touchdown? I just don’t get it…

Ok. Football rant is over now.

Sunday was church and lunch with adoptive family, then, instead of napping, I did tons of laundry, watched part of season 1 of Glee on DVD, and made an adorable scarf! Pictures to come later…my camera is dead :(

After evening church, I went to Q Group, then home to clean my room so that it’s one less thing I have to do this week!’

I only have a four day week this week! Super exciting after the insanely crazy week I had last week. I’m heading to H-town on Thursday after work, then my Momma and I are heading down to Dallas to see our cousins! My cousin EA is in her school’s color guard, and I’ve been DYING to watch her perform! I was in my school’s color guard all four years of high school, and I’m super pumped that EA is doing it as well! Now, if I can just get this week to move fast, I’ll be doing good! :)
I’ve been a pretty terrible blogger over the past couple of weeks, because I’ve been tagged in two different Q&As and given a blog award, and I haven’t been able to acknowledge any of them! Sorry :( Again, this is probably going to be a super long post, but I’m going to try to get all of this in.

Erin tagged me in a Q&A. Erin is such a sweetie, so if you don’t read her blog, you need to go follow her ASAP! Here are my answers to her questions.

1. What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie is Miss Congeniality! I adore Sandra Bullock, and this movie is just fantastic!

2. Favorite sport?

My favorite sport to watch is football. Favorite sport to play…I’m not super athletic, but I did play tennis in middle school. I can’t play anymore because of my spinal fusion, but I really enjoyed playing when I could.

3. Favorite blog to read?

Kelly’s Korner! I love Kelly! She is one of the first blogs I ever read, and I just love her!
4. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Europe! Paris, London, Venice, Tuscany…I want to see them all!

5. Favorite meal?

I love Mexican food, so probably something Mexican.

6. What part of the day do you enjoy the most?

I guess the afternoon. I’m not really a night owl or a morning person.

7. What’s something most people don’t know about you?

That I blog! I’ve talked about this before I think, but only a few people that know me in the real world know about my blog. I’m not trying to hide it, but I’m not broadcasting it either. Four or five friends, and just a handful of family members know about this!

Sonja also tagged me in a Q&A game! She’s adorable, so you need to check her blog out too!

1. When you hear about Jacksonville, Florida, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Jacksonville Jaguars…that’s all I got!
2. What is one thing you could eat and never get sick of?

Chocolate

3. What is your favorite thing to do when you aren’t working?

Just hang out with my girls or my family

5. Could you live without coffee?

Absolutely. I don’t drink coffee at all!
6. What is your favorite thing about blogging?

Wow, there are so many answers to this! I love meeting new people through blogging. I love having a place to come and write when I feel like it. I love having a "journal", if you want to call it that. I just love everything about it!

7. If you could change your college choice, would you?

This is a tough one. I used to say I wanted to go to UCLA, just because it sounded cool. When I got closer to graduation, it was OSU. I ended up at UCO, and I really loved everything about my college experience. I really don’t think I would change it at all.

8. How do you feel about the Duggars having more kids?

Funny question! From a medical standpoint, I think considering the pregnancy complications Michelle had this last time, I don’t think it would be a wise decision for her to have more children. But, it’s their family and their decision. God will never give someone more than they can handle, so if He blesses them with more children, they can handle it!
