Exciting few days!

So, we have had an exciting last few days! Sunday night we were asked by a couple of guys from AR that are in the U of I graduate program with Taylor if we wanted to come over and have dinner. We had a really good time! They grilled hot dogs and had ice cream and brownies for dessert. We played a card game called Saboteur and watched a movie. It was really nice because one of the guys is married so I got to hang out with another girl for the first time! Ha. She was so sweet and I could definitely see us becoming friends :) Monday, we decided to go play golf because the weather was beautiful! Taylor got to use his new irons so he was pretty excited.


Look at my sweet husband pushing my cart for me!


Last night, we headed up to Chicago to help two of our friends, Brittany and Drew, move into their new apartment! We got home last night, or this morning actually, at 2am so needless to say we slept in this morning. We had such a good time and we were so happy that we were able to help them out. Moving in is such a huge task, that the more hands you have the better! They are going to come visit us on Friday, along with our friend TP who is moving to the area, and we can't wait! They will be our first house guests :) Yay!

Good luck organizing everything guys!

Tonight, we tried a new recipe from the awesome family recipe book I received at one of our wedding showers! It is the coolest book that is filled with recipes from our family and friends and put together in a wonderful scrapbook. We made Easy Hamburger Casserole which was submitted by Taylor's Moggie.

Per the request of some readers, haha, we are going to start posting the recipes that we liked so you guys can enjoy them as well!

EASY HAMBURGER CASSEROLE
Brown one pound ground beef and one medium sliced onion in 1-1/2 tbs. oil.

Add:
2 tsp. chili powder
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can light kidney beans (drained)
1 can Mexicorn (drained)

Simmer for 15 to 20 mins., or until most of the liquid is gone. Pour mixture into greased casserole dish. Top with 1/2 pkg. of corn muffin mix (we used Jiffy!). Spread batter over top. Bake at 425 until the cornbread is brown (it took our oven 20 mins!).

Thank you Moggie! It was delicious.

And we have some exciting news...


We have cable, well, sort of! Ha. When we hooked up our cable cord to the TV and had it search for channels, it found over 100 channels! How awesome is that? :) We're not sure how long it will last, but we are going to enjoy it while it does!

Hope y'all have a good evening! We are going to go enjoy some Big Brother, LIVE! Ha.
