The Musings of Michelle

Here is my attempt to not let those little precious moments go unforgotten...

As I reflect back on my life so far I have realized that I'm really just an average girl, with an average life, living with an average disease. But what I do have is an AMAZING God who continues to blow me away with His love and His grace in my life. This is my attempt at putting into writing my journey so far.

Happy Tuesday everyone! As you probably already read on Ryan's blog, we had a good time with my folks this weekend. It was definitely too hot to be RV shopping when you're withchild though! I think every part of my body was swollen after that, but it was still fun. There are some nice rv's out there that's for sure.

I had another great shower on Sunday and got lots of goodies. Since none of my Lexington friends read this, I can say though that I don't think anything will beat the Cincinnati shower! :)

It's so fun to just go and sit in the nursery and lok at everything and just wait for Hannah. It's so peaceful in there. It is pretty funny though that this little thing has all this room to herself and Ryan and I have most of the guestroom and our bedroom furniture packed into our room!

mmm not a whole lot of other exciting stuff going on. I've been researching digital camcorders and hopefully soon we will buy one. I can't wait! Technology is so amazing. It will be so nice to be able to have home movies on DVD instead of VHS so that way you can easily move forward and edit out stuff instead of having to sit through hours of boring footage just to see a few good parts.

Oh and Tracey, I'm glad that my maiden name was a good topic of conversation for you! And my campaign slogan for the vice-president of the 8th grade class was "Catch the Beaver Fever!" I thought it was quite clever. How was I to know what that also means. I really think I could have won had my teacher not taken all the signs down. Oh and if I wasn't such a huge nerd back then! (i know some of you are thinking, what do you mean back then) :)

That's so exciting to hear about your condo too! Yay! But that stinks about the jelly fish sting. Your family must be magnets for those things. Good improv on the ketchup though having vinegar in it. Hopefully I'll never have to use that , but it will be good to remember just in case. I did get a laugh though remembering our bay watch run in Hilton Head to help that girl. Poor girl, but funny scene by us.

Oh and hear is the recipe for the 0 point soup that you wanted and for anyone else that wants it here it is. I still have yet to make it, but it sounds pretty good for being guilt free.

~2/3 cup sliced carrot
~1/2 cup diced onion
~2 garlic cloves minced
~3 cups fat free broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable)
~1 1/2 cups diced green cabbage
~1/2 cup green beans
~1 Tablespoon tomato paste
~1/2 teaspoon dried basil
~1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
~1/4 teaspoon salt
~1/2 cup diced zucchini

1. In a large saucepan, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, saute the carrot, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add broth, cabbage, beans, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until beans are tender.
3. Stir in zucchini and heat 3-4 minutes. Serve hot.

Welp time for another productive day I hope. I only have 3 things left on my list to do for this project! Then it's on to phase 2, but it won't be as stressful hopefully.

~~as i see myself in the mirror I am reminded of a funny quote my friends Rob and Kimberly used to say....."how can you be happy when your hair is so nappy." -must be shower day for me. See yas!
