Sweet Friends
21. I have great friends. And I know I have said it before, but I am gratful Heavenly Father has blessed me with friends that I have so much in common with. Get this, there are two girls here (Eve, and Michelle) that I see most often. Their babies are 2 and 4 weeks older then sweet Henry. They are all from Utah, and both of their husbands went to Bingham. Michelle and I even have the same birthday!
I have fun hanging out with them. Also, Heidi, she's cute, and preggo...soon she'll join the mommy club and it will be fun to watch and help someone with a newborn baby!
Yay!
Thank you Eve for the sweet cards! (She secretly left them on my kitchen counter as she was leaving my apartment)
22. I am very proud of myself for eating so much salad this week!

a walk down memory lane...
It doesnt seem so long ago that I was working like crazy as a general manager at Noodles & Company. I loved my job...most days. I miss my staff and hope they are all doin well. ROCK ON NOODLES!
More of my random...
12. I like to read cookbooks while I feed Henry late at night
13. I wish Henry would stick to sleeping 5 hours instead of teasing me with that one week, and the next go back down to 3
14. I have bad money anxiety...wish I didn't....
15. I really like that Asian salad...read below
16. I love going on my Wesnesday adventures, even if it's hard to get out the door in the morning, I'm always glad that I did.
17. I am grateful my husband was driven with school at such a young age, and I appreciate all the hard work he does there so that he can provide for his family, and have a career he enjoys.
18. Candy corn is my weakness right now. I wish I could stop!
19. I am excited to go home for Christmas to show my family how much my sweet Henry has grown, but a tiny part of my wishes we were having our own little, just the three of us, Christmas.
20. Livie is getting married! YAY!

Asian Salad
So, I was invited over to Emily's house this week (She is in my ward) to play while we mostly watched her little Jonah play. She made this salad that I just thought was amazing, which was amazing, because I'm not much of a salad eater. I'd thought I'd share her recipe. Hope she doesnt mind!
This recipe is a "add however much you want of what you like the most!" kind of recipe, so I'm just going to tell you how much I added for mine.
Lettuce (Just iceberg is great)
Shredded napa cabbage
Chicken - 2 tenderloins grilled or boiled, and then cubed, I like it cut really really little
Toasted almond slivers
(@ 325 for 15 minutes to toast)
Green onions - I used 3 stems
Dressing:
4T sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
4 T rice vinegar
Bring to a boil, cool, and add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil - whisk together. VERY YUMMY!!!
Thanks Emily!

Tidbit Copycat
My sister is on a quest of a 1000 tidbits. I enjoy reading her random thoughts, and seem to think of my own all day long. So, if she doesnt mind, i'd like to copycat her tidbit idea.
1. I love my family
2. Josh is my very best friend. I am gratful I am married to my very best friend.
3. I love when Henry smiles in his sleep, and I swear he sleep talks! How cute is that?!
4. The new episode of the office made me cry.
5. I heart my purple sparkely shoes, and will be sad to part with them when they are all worn out. I was sad to get rid of my rain boots too....sad memory.
Until my next batch of random thoughts!
(Thanks Jamee :) )

Rough Day...
Good evening, It's so LATE! I cant believe I'm up still. I am amazed that I have a few friends who stay up this late with their brand new babies. I just have a minute or two left in me before I crash, But, shout out to a friend....I promised I'd get this recipe up :)
Im not even sure what I call this dish so I've named it:
Eve's Birthday Lunch with the Girls
1 1/2 - 2 cups boiled (or grilled) chicken breast and pulled so that it's shredded
4 oz Cream Cheese
2 oz Butter
Diced Celery - Depends on how much crunch you like :)
1/2 Tsp Pepper
Biscuits
Chicken Gravy
Soften cream cheese and butter
Combine chicken, cream cheese, butter, celery, and pepper.
Roll out biscuits and put a spoonful of mixture in the middle of the biscuits. Make sure you close the dough really tight. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Top with Gravy
I like to serve with a salad, stuffing, or mashed potatoes. :) N'joy!
Ps - This recipe really is about making to your taste. If you like cream cheese, add a little more.... :)
2 Funny stories to remember:
Henry pee'd all over dad tonight at Target - I'm so proud of him :) Just teasing
After unlocking my side of the car tonight Josh climbed in on his side and started the car with his own key, so I didnt notice that after buckling Henry in, that my keys were still in the keyhole on the outside of my side of the car....needless to say that I didnt notice them until were on the road and heard this funny clanking on the side of the car!! OOPS!

SLEEP!
I have an amazing story. To any mom with a 2 month old baby, you will find it amazing that little Henry slept for 8 hours last night! from 10:30pm to 6:30am! And not only that, but he went almost 10 hours between eating. He ate at 9pm last night. I am feeling very energized this morning, and even made german pancakes for breakfast :) Henry is out on a walk with his daddy right now, so I even get to go jump in the shower, and get ready for the day. I know it's a fluke, and will probably never happen again, but I am pretty excited it happened last night. YAY!
I have also begun to notice that every day, right at 1pm, Henry falls asleep. It doesnt matter where we are, He has designated that his nap time. My sweet little boy. I am a very lucky mommy.
