Wow... God's trying to teach us something. Long story short, we're not buying the house anymore.... and I feel good about it. By the grace of God, we were able to get out of it. I sure hope that the current events in Ben's and my life have not occurred because we were disobedient. I told Ben today, "wow, God really didn't want us to buy this place, did He!?" We signed to get out of it, and then all sorts of potential doors started opening... literally all at once. God's so faithful! These past few weeks have been quite a journey. I thought that life was figured out, but here we are ... again ... not knowing what life will be like in the coming months. He's always keeping me on the edge of my seat... He won't let me get comfortable for very long.

Leftovers!
OK, so I am always finding ways to use leftovers to make something equally as yummy (or in this case more yummy) than the original. I decided that I should start writing this stuff down!
Leftover Grands Biscuit Cinnamon (buns)
Ingredients:
Leftover Grands biscuits (or any rolls or buscuits)
Butter or margerine
Cinnamon
Sugar
Chopped Nuts (optional)
Directions:
Heat the oven to 350F. Slice rolls or biscuits and lay face up in a pan large enough to accommodate all of them. Place pan in oven for a few minutes to warm them. Take the biscuits out and spread some butter or margerine on the open faces. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar, and nuts (if desired). Place the pan back into the oven for another few minutes, checking every few minutes to see if the butter or margerine is melted.
Ben looked into the oven and said, EWH, but guess who just finished his third biscuit??? I don't claim that this recipe is healthy, but it's really good!

Our House!!!
So, we found a house! In Aberdeen! So excited... we close/move in mid-May.... YAY!
I deleted the video because someone I don't know posted something about it and that makes me feel weird.

Has it really been that long since I posted?
Alright, so... here I am! I'm still alive. Work got out of control crazy. It seems to be at a little bit more of a manageable level now, but who knows!
Ben and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary on Dec. 31st! How the heck has a year gone by? It's crazy. We went to Medieval Times for the 9:30 show and it was pretty neat. Neither of us had ever been, so we enjoyed it. Fun. Christmas was good and we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with both of our families... (they shared us) :) So yeah...
We joined the YMCA, so we've been going there and sweating some. I am trying to go everyday, and I have been good so far. We're having a "Biggest Loser" competition at work so hopefully that will keep me going. I won't just continue to be in my big clothes, but I will also keep my team from winning! I'm so glad that they decided to do this, because I needed it!
Well, there is something to occupy you until I have the energy to type more. I am exhausted.
Later.

Finally... a break!
Ben and I were talking on Thursday night and decided that we wanted to go somewhere for the weekend. He had off on Friday (lucky) so I left him a "honey, do" list so that we could actually feel okay about going away for the weekend, or part of it. We thought we would go to Frostburg, but when I was on the way to work, "Ocean" by Ten Shekel Shirt came on my iPod! I was like, that's it, we're going to OC. I called him, at like 7:03 and woke him up. He wasn't thrilled to be woken up an hour before his alarm, but he liked the idea of the ocean.
My day was sort of crappy, but I got through it thinking about how amazing it was going to be to be in OC the next day... yay!
I stayed and planned a little bit and then gave up on my to-do list and headed home! I got on the internet to try to find us a hotel but that really didn't help much, so I decided to just start calling around.
We got there Friday night around 9:30 or 10. We put our stuff in our room and then went out on the beach. Ah! The beach. We sat out on the sand for a while and after Ben stopped freaking out that it was dark and he couldn't see anything, we had fun! We went in and hung out for a while then went to sleep.
I woke up at about 7 and was like YESSSSS the beach! I told Ben he didn't have to get up, but that I was going to go out and take some pics. I have some awesome ones, which I will post soon...
I went back in and he was up and sort of dressed. We decided that we wanted to get some breakfast... so began the day of doing "a week at the ocean in one day."
We went to Dough Roller, because Ben wanted to. He got some french toast that was apparently awesome because he sounded like an Herbal Essences commercial when he took his first bite. I had some banana pancakes that were alright...
Then, we went to the boardwalk and rented some fun bikes! I HEART FUN BIKES. (the ones where you're sitting on the ground almost and pedaling with your feet and steering with your hands down by your side) It was soooooooooo much fun!!!
Then, I wanted to go to the Peace Frogs store that I thought was in Rehobeth, but we didn't find it.... it might be there, but oh well. We ended up at the outlets, and I ended up with an Old Navy bag! I found some new pants! I was thrilled. Apparently they re-did their sizes, so I wear a smaller one that before and that makes me happy....
We were sort of hungry so we got a hot dog and then went back to the hotel. Then, we went out on the beach and I worked on my Bible study that I'm doing on Tuesday nights. I was pretty distracted, so I didn't finish, but it was nice to lay out on a sheet in my pajamas and enjoy being at the beach. I went down to the water with Ben and we were amazed at how warm the water still is... Then, we had a Dr. Pepper fight, because we're geeks. We went in and were lazy for a while then got all cleaned up and went to the the Greene Turtle. We were both new to the place, but are pleased to know that there is one in Bel Air! YAY!
After a while, we went back to the board walk and enjoyed it for all of its night time goodness! We stopped by Dumsers and walked really fast, because we decided that if you eat while exercizing you're cancelling the bad effects... (not so sure that's true, but yeah....)
We were pooped from our long day... went back and fell asleep watching TV.... woke up at 7 am and cleaned up and were home in time for church!
It feels like Friday and the crap that went with it was a week or two ago. As Ben said "we really needed this trip!" <-- and I agree!
