Cristin's Kitchen

I have set up a new blog called Cristin's Kitchen with all sorts of recipes that we enjoy here around our house. I know most of you are probably like me and get tired or making the same "favorite" meals all the time. You can find it at cristinskitchen.blogspot.com. Hope you enjoy! BTW, you can also click on the link to the left to go to it.

The Duggars

As most of you know, I love to watch The Duggars (the family about to have their 19th child). They had two new episodes last night on TLC, and the first was all about questions from the viewers. I laughed at most of them...like, "Do the kids ever fight?" Really??? The one question that really got to me though was from a lady who asked (can't remember exact words, but...) if they were concerned about the carbon footprint they were making on the environment with such a large family! I couldn't believe someone would ask that...well I can, but whatever. Out of all the things in the world we should be concerned about, that's what this lady is stressing over? Anyway, sorry about me ranting, but it really bothered me.

Time for an Update

Wow, I can't believe it has been over a week since I last updated this blog! The days are going by so fast, especially with the holidays coming up. Can't wait to start decorating and playing Christmas music next month! This is definitely my favorite time of year for so many reasons.

This past week has been pretty busy around here. Brian has been going hunting a good bit with his new bow, but has missed two deer so far. Hopefully he will get one soon since our stash is running low in the freezer. I was able to go out this past Thursday to a fellowship dinner at church that they host once a month for the ladies, thanks to Brian babysitting the three kiddos for me. It was very refreshing to get to hang out with other women by myself for awhile. I will definitely be making a habit of going every month! This past Saturday, my parents were able to come and visit us for the day. They hadn't seen the kids since Maddie's birthday party a month ago. We are so blessed that they only live an hour away, and can come see us often. Speaking of family, we also had Brian's grandmother and cousin, Joey, over for dinner on Wednesday as a farewell to him since he has joined the Navy and will be leaving soon for training. What an awesome guy!

Well, I know all that info was pretty random, but I just wanted to update on what's been going on with us. Hopefully it won't be another full week before I write again. I guess we'll see what each day brings.
