Our New Adventure

So I mentioned Matt got a new job & that we may have to move.

At that point in time we had no idea what was going to happen.

We found out that he will be stationed in Oklahoma

but working up in the Woodward area

with his work schedule being 16 days on the rig

& 5 days at home.

We talked about me living in the farm house all by myself

for basically 2 weeks. I totally did not like that idea.

(Its out in the country, really quiet & my imagination gets the best of me.)

I did stay 1 night by myself & I maybe got 4 hours aleep

so atleast I tried it.

Luckily my Mema had to have surgery so she is staying with my parents

& I am staying at her house during this whole process.

Anyways we decided that we would get a rent house

& my friend Lori would live with us.

It happens to be that she is looking for a new place to live

& I am looking for a roommate so I am not alone while Matt is at work.

After about 3 weeks of searching for a home

we finally found one & put a deposit down.

We found out today that we are approved!

Matt has already completed his first 16 day shift

& he enjoys his new job.

I am so proud of him.

I am so blessed to have such a hard working husband.

He has been home for about a week now & I am lucky enough

to have a job where my boss lets me take off to spend time with him.

I am excited for our new adventure

& ready to move into our new home.

Apple Pie.

I know everyone knows about Pinterest,

but I found a yummy pie crust idea that I just had to try.

Pinterest is pretty awesome.

I have never made a pie so I figured since this was my first Christmas as a married lady

I would make a pie for my family.

Here is the pie crust recipe. It also has a sweet potato pie recipe

but I just use the crust instructions.

I ended up using 3 boxes of pie crust instead of the 1 it says she used.

Good thing I have a great hubs who ran to the store for me when I needed more pie crusts. ;)

And here is the apple pie recipe.

The next time I make this I will cut the apple slices alot smaller.

I only halfed a few of the slices so the apples sat little high

which made the top crust not fall all the way.

But overall everyone loved it, despite how ugly it looked. : )

I am pretty proud of myself!

2012

So far 2012 seems to be off to a awesome start.

Matt finally got a job

and with this job there is a possibility to move out of state.

We are excited to for all the new experiences this year will bring!

Bring it 2012!
