Menu Plan Monday – Easter 2010
I see you've been here before, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! I'm in a contest to win a Bag Makeover. I really need this since Chocolate melted in my bag and I haven't been able to replace it. Please vote for me!!! It only takes a second!
Friday we came home from the Burn Unit, yep the Mr. had 2nd and 3rd degree burns with infection! Yikes, I know. He’s healing nicely now and the next appointment is on Wednesday. Today has been one of those stay in bed all day kinda days. Emotionally I”m spent. Tonight’s dinner may need to cook itself, but what’s the chances of that happening? Anyways on to my menu for the week…
Monday: Breakfast
Tuesday: Red Beans
Wednesday: Steak Baked Potato
Thursday: Soup and French Bread
Friday: Homemade Pizza with Breadsticks
Saturday: cereal, Hot Dogs, Grilled Chicken with salad and corn casserole
Sunday: Big Breakfast, Lunch: at mom’s, Ham (smoked on Saturday) Sandwiches and chips
Yep, I’m a Mrs.!!
The wedding was Saturday, and the Lord truly blessed us with a wonderful family and a wonderful day. The rain held off until we left, and we were the last to leave the park, who’d have thought it would have gone that way! If you have missed my updated on facebook, Scott was burned in a car fire on Friday night, so we opted for a very short and sweet service with no rehearsal. Hey, I’ll all about simple.
Mr. And Mrs.
I’ll be posting more pictures, but this is a snapshot of the two of us before the wedding…can’t you tell the poor guy feels horrible!

14 Days and Counting
In 14 days there will be bells ringing! Yes, I do have bells for people to ring. I’ve been fretting over things, answering this person and that person’s questions. Mostly my mom and his mom. When someone asks if they can help with anything, I don’t know what to say. There is a lot to be done, but I don’t want to fret. My house needs to be cleaned, some paint applied, some weeds pulled. I don’t really think anyone wants to help with these things, do you?
As far as the wedding things go, I’m open. I want things simple. I’m not opting for the florist to deliver flowers, but to pick up a few boquets of flowers and scatter them about in a hap-hazard way, that doesn’t require a lot of thought. Yeah, I know I’m crafty like that! lol! But really, my mom and her sisters are crafty and I hope that I can leave a lot of those things up to them.
I simply don’t want a lot of fuss. My house isn’t perfect, it is getting older and needs work. Do you think my guests will mind? Well if they do, they need not look. My decorating sense is not that of my sisters, or anyone else that I know. I have no decorating sense really. Are our wedding guest coming to see my house! GASP! I hope not!
Our intentions on having our wedding here at home, is so that we can share our home, our wedding, our family and our love. There will not be an abundance of lamb chops and fish, or anything fancy to eat. There will not be a wedding cake….but cakes that are family favorites. Of course there will be a few things that are traditional, a few things that I want, but for the most part everything will be simple.
A simple wedding for a simple couple. In some ways this is simple, and others it is hard. I’m letting go of other people’s dreams to have my own. Some will find this amusing. I’m a pleaser to an extent. I’d love to please my mother by having an outlandish church wedding on a shoe string budget, but guess what? its not happening that way. We do have a shoe string budget, but it isn’t outlandish and isn’t a church wedding. I’ve rarely seen myself in a church wedding. I’ve always seen myself standing by an oak tree in my wedding gown. Right now that oak tree has a horsey tire swing and multiple ropes and brown ribbons hanging from its branches. I’m not sure that I’ll even remove those 
By having simple decorations, and simple surroundings we hope to bring out the conversations that capture the spirit of our families. I want to see smiles and hear laughter. I want to see my kids playing chase, or jumping on the trampoline. We are opting for the two larger dogs to be away from the guests because they would love to jump on the tables and play, but the new puppy may get to stay for the fun.
I want to be pulled into conversations so that we don’t leave our loved ones too soon. I’d love to stay up until the sun greets us in the morning, but I know that we will be fast asleep from all of the excitement of the days before.
After a bit of a devotion tonight, I know that God doesn’t want me to worry over the details. He wants us to praise him in everything we do. That includes our weddings. If I were too busy that morning, putting all of the finishing touches on things, I know that I would be snappy to our wonderful children. God doesn’t want that, so I vow to keep that from happening. I vow to make this wedding simple and enjoyable for all of our family and friends.

Menu Plan Monday March 1-7
Only 19 days til our wedding! *GASP* We are getting the house ready for d-day and like yesterday, I’m forgetting to start dinner. Its late, we go out, we spend money. I don’t like spending money on food that’s not that great. Well I’ll be planning better this week. I’m going to do some recipes that can be doubled and frozen, or at least buy some new containers for lunch sized portions. I used to be so good at this, but then I wasn’t getting ready for d-day. So here goes…
Monday: Grilled Chicken (and a lot of it!)
Tuesday: Baked Raviolli
Wednesday: Homemade Soup
Thursday: Hamburger Steak, hash brown casserole
Friday: Hot Dogs
Saturday: Homemade Pizza (will make crust and put in the freezer this week0
Sunday: Pot Roast
