New Schedule

I love my new schedule that came from teaching. I am now home by no later than 5pm even if I stay late at school. This means I'm able to actually cook dinner at a reasonable hour (yeah, eating at 9pm or 10pm wasn't really working for me). I am able to have evenings. Nathan also gets done with school and work by 5pm. So, other than when he has Scouts on Tuesday nights, we are able to spend time together (or I get to help him with his homework...hooray!). Anyway, I digress. The main point is that I'm able to cook dinner. I love that I've been able to try some great recipes and feel like I'm actually feeding my husband real meals. So, tonight, I tried a wonderful recipe from Pampered Chef: Asian Pork and Noodle Skillet. This dish is amazing! And it's healty too! So let me share the recipe with you. Try it! You'll love it! Then let me know what you think.

If you have a new favorite or an old favorite that you love to go back to, please share. I have time to cook now and I want to try your recipes.

School Days

Well, this is going to be a short post, but, thanks to my sister's comment on the previous post (from oh so long ago), I decided it was time for a new post. I started teaching on August 21st. And it has been a great first few weeks. I teach mainly sophomores and boy are they sophomoric. Some of them are so chatty. But I really enjoy it and they make me laugh. As much as I did love my high shcool experiences, I don't want to relive my high school years. And teaching solidifies any feelings of not wanting to relive it. Of course I do have some students I like better than others, but I have to say that I don't have favorites. We had our first test today in one of my classes and I am very proud of my students. They all did quite well. I hope they keep it up. Overall, I really love my job, I enjoy the people I work with, and I'm really excited for my first paycheck! We are going to save like there is no tomorrow. Hopefully we will not have to go into too much date when Nathan goes to law school!
