life at The "Ville!

so this is my 10 year college reunion!! i find it hard to believe that i have gotten that old, but it appears i have. i spent some time the other day thinking about college days and decided it was worth a top 10 list here at my back door! so here are my 10 favorite (or atleast quite memorable) things from my life at the 'Ville. oh - i guess most of you would have no clue what the ville is....it is this quaint little baptist college in southern ohio - Cedarville University.

1. New Dorms as a freshman!

2. Life long friends

3. Tennis team - i could come up with 10 things alone about this one.

4. Grilled steak and chicken strip night at Chuck's

5. Campus security and fighting them in student court for my best friend!

6. sneaking back in to our dorm room after hours.

7. Christ is All I need, Oh Cedarville your call fulfill, I woke up this morning....hmmm, I guess i really do still think about chapel every day at 10:00

8. Hutch and Screamo at his house!!

9. 6 different majors!!!

10. telling Dr. Bartholomew off when he called me stupid in class and then showing him my 4.0 mug the following quarter. ( he was the reason for the final change in majors)

I guess some of these aren't all together godly, but hey, i was in college and sometimes my spunky attitude got the best of me!!!

all in all i wouldn't trade those 4 years for anything!! and i'm sorry that for most of you this is a post that means absolutely nothing!! but for the few alums that read this - you will know most of what i'm talking about!!!! for others, take some time to think back on those days and see how far God has brought you!

That was a great list, many of which I had completely forgotten. yes, it is hard to believe that we are "that old". we had a group of college students over recently and I had to admit it has been out of college for 10 years, yikes!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

they're here!!!!

this is not how i left my house this morning. in fact, i wanted to take a picture of kitchen set-up #2. it was really quite a nice set-up my hubby did! very functional and i was pleased. but i came home this afternoon to my kitchen being moved to the dining room and boxes everywhere!!!!!!! as you can see....the cabinets are in and some are going up RIGHT NOW!!! isn't she pretty? i can turn each shelf by itself. look there are four drawers in the picture. i am used to only 1 drawer....what will i ever do with so many drawers? see those boxes above....i think i'll be able to start putting them away - maybe even tonight, although with idol, the olympics, and a very important mom's morning talk to prepare the box emptying may just have to wait! if you look closely you can find the red trim paint we sampled....i can't wait for the full effect ahh.....did i mention the countertops won't be installed until the 27th at the earliest and that i'm not without a kitchen ...
