#46-Make one new meal each week...

I have offically started to make one new meal each week. This week September 24-September 30 I will make two new dishes. One being meat loaf, which I will take on tonight and the second will be chicken enchilades in the Crockpot. I have found some awesome recipes from my girls on the nest and from Allrecipes.com. I can't wait to dish out the recipes and let everyone know how yummy they are. Oh and Tim will be the taster for all of these new dishes.

I've been slacking on updating my list, but here is a short summary that I have been working hard on the LIST! Last week I finally decided to download all my pictures from my laptop (#17) and send them to Shutterfly.com to have them printed. Not only did I want to have the pictures in my hand, but I am going to a Scrapbooking party at the end of the month I wanted to have a few to make a page with. Also I decided to show off my pictures to my mother. She snagged some of the pictures for her own collection. Being the nice daughter that I am, I even had a few wedding pictures printed for her, so she can place around her new place. She will be surprised on September 22nd with a photobook of mine and Tim's wedding. Now with that said... Tim and I also hung all of the wedding frames that we received from our wedding around the house. We also finally decided to decorate the living room. We recieved our last package last night in the mail. A seven piece mirror set that will go over top of the piano.

And for those who think we spend all of our hard work on our house, we don't. We do entertain Josie our puppy. On Saturday, August 25th, Tim and I meet Baxter and his mama up at he Ma & Pa Dog Park for a good hour of running. We mainly spend the time under a tree due to the extreme heat. Josie had fun, it was much better then getting peed on... yes the night before we took her to the dog park and a bunch of dogs came over to meet and greet her, and one just decided to pee on her! NOT COOL! So Josie looked saturday's visit, just a tad bit more!

#2 and # 24 Completed 8/31-9/3/07

This past weekend Tim and I along with 21 other people traveled up to Ohiopyle, PA for a three day weekend trip to Tall Oaks Campgr0und and to go white water rafting. Tim and I left Linda's house on Friday at 2:50 p.m. and thought "yeah we should arrive around 6 or so!". Well that wasnt the case. Everyone and their mother was on the roads on Friday night. It took us about 4 and half hours to get up to PA, when it should of only taken us 3 and half hours. So you can say we arrived very tired, and agrue with the way the traffic. We had about 30 minutes of light before we would be setting up in the dark. Friday night, I wasn't feeling so well, so we made dinner and kind of just sat around. Saturday we enjoyed most of the day, by eating, sleeping and drinking. There was a beer pong and poker for all.

Sunday morning arrived and everyone was either tired and cold from the nights air. We hurried along, got into our bathing suits and headed for the white water site. We found out later, that Jessica are leader and planner had lied to everyone and told us we had to be at the WWR place at 10, when in reality it was 1030. We arrived at 10:10. So we had twenty minutes to kill. Everyone was really excited about the whole trip. We finally were assigned a raft and were shoed into them by the White Water Adventure staff. We learned how to do a forward paddle and backwards paddle. Our trip began when our leader and tour guide Chris joined our raft. He showed us where to sit with Jon and Jason the biggest headed toward the front. Holly and Beata in the middle and Tim and I are in the back. We carried our raft and paddles to the water edge where we would launch into the water. Yup, that meant walking out in the cold water and hoping in raft. Chris showed us how he wanted us to work together and we did just that. We spend about 5 hours on the water. We had awesome time with a few victims taking a plunge into the water. Tim and I have decided that it would be awesome to do it again, but not at a catogory 5 but at a 3.
