relieved.....

SO yesterday my doctor called to tell me that they found an "abnormal cell growth" in my uterus but that the biopsy results weren't back yet! all of the sudden people started talking to me about cancer and hysterectomy's and a million other things that made my head spin all of the sudden it went from abnormal bleeding to cancer and my never having kids!! It really scared me! I have never had a more terrifying 24 hours!! well the doctor just called and said that my biopsy came back negative... I have never been so happy to fail a test!! I have never felt so relieved!!

favorite recipe!!

Ok so a few weeks ago I was watching my favorite cooking show everyday italian with Giada on the food network she made a recipe that took like 10 minutes and looked really good she pretty much just sauted asparagus, peas, and whole cherry tomatoes in olive oil and then added a half cup chicken broth and some cheese then poured it over pasta it looked really good so I have started making that with whatever vegtables I have to use up at the end of the week it is great with fresh, frozen and canned vegtables tonight I made fresh brocolli with frozen peas and canned corn then added the chicken broth and parmesean cheese it was really good!! I love it because it makes me feel like i dont waste my leftover vegtables anymore! You can put as few or as many vegtables in and it works it was really yummy!! but it always feels like a fresh new recipe!! i just use whatever pasta i have on hand and i can make as much or as little as i want it is awesome!! she did put alot more into it but i dont think it has to have all of that in it!!

My New Goal!! And how my last one went!!

So my goal to cook everyday went really well! i really enjoyed it! I am so proud of myself for doing it!! I will keep that one going! Also I have a new goal... I want to run in a marathon!! I know I can do it! I want to do it I have a plan and I am going to get there! I think Annie will do it with me! This is something I have always seen people do and thought that I would never be able to do it. Last week as I was sitting and watching the biggest loser I thought why not? Why can't I do it? there is NO reason that I cant! This year I am going to try to do things that I have never done and that I never thought I could or would do! I have a plan and I need to stick to it! I think I want to start out with a half marathon and then I will work my way up to a full marathon!! I need to do this for me! I will let you know how this one goes!

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TINA!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

my goal for the week!!

Sadly I have come to depend too much on frozen food from costco... I eat something from my freezer everyday and I hardly ever cook anymore which is something I LOVE to do!! therefore I have made a goal starting today I am not going to just heat up a frozen burrito in the microwave I am actually going to cook dinners for a whole week and make enough leftover for lunch the next day!!! (which is no small amount of food if you have ever seen my husband eat!!) today for dinner I made spaghetti but not with just any noodles I made homemade egg yolkless noodles which are healthier than normal noodles!! When I was younger I used to LOVE making noodles I still do! My favorite present from my wedding was the pasta maker it was from the judge who made it possible for us to get married. when we first got married every sunday I made noodles then it slowed down to maybe once a month until now it has been about 6 or 7 months since i have made them I love the taste and the texture of them they are more filling than store bought noodles and They make REALLY good chicken soup!!
Well that is my goal I will let you know how it goes!!!
p.s. I am open to trying new recipes if you have any good ones I would love to try them!!

Dutch vs. My Cake

So last Saturday I was baking a birthday cake for Dallin it was 4 layers so I put the cakes on the kitchen table while I was making the filling dutch was running around I thought someone was watching him so i went on making my cake. A few minutes later dutch comes walking in with what looked like a piece of brownie. I looked at him and asked him where he got the brownie. all of the sudden it hit me that it was a piece of my cake!!! I gasped as my hands shot up to cover my mouth (I did NOT cry contrary to what my mom says) mom asked me what was wrong and i pointed to the bottom layer of my cake and then I just started Laughing we took the piece and stuck it back in the cake and I assembled and frosted the cake... The cake was REALLY good and we have no idea who got Dutchs piece of cake but it was REALLY funny!! He is so cute I am so glad pam is moving here so I can see him more he was really fun!!

Our very eventful week!!

This has been an interesting week in our home! Tuesday morning Dallin called to tell me he had just had an accident so we don't have a car for now and we have no idea when it will be fixed or what is wrong with it. we are borrowing Dallins moms car until we can get ours fixed! then later that day we got a call that Dallins grandpa wasn't doing well Dallin was able to go and see him on tuesday afternoon while he was in provo picking up his moms car. Later that night we recieved word that grandpa walker had passed away. we will miss him so much he was such a wonderful person I know he is so happy to be reunited with his wife and his son (my father-in-law) those of us who are left behind will miss him. Wednesday I had to get the H1N1 flu shot which just hurt!! then thursday was Dallins 25th Birthday! and tonight we have the Viewing and tomorrow is the funeral. It has been a REALLY long week! On the brighter side on Sunday I will have known Dallin for 2 years!! It has been a wonderful, eventful, and fun 2 years! My life has changed so much in the past 2 years! I love Dallin so much he is my best friend and i can't imagine my life without him!
