Fried Rice

Do you ever get those cravings for a food that just won't be satisfied by anything but said food? Brad doesn't believe in cravings, but I had one today while he was out working the last day of the air show on base. I whipped up a pan of fried rice with the help of two trusty things: Google any my rice cooker.

I typed in 'fried rice for one' and this is what I got. A post from novicehousewife.com on what turned out to be a pretty tasty recipe. Check it out if you'd like.. it makes a LOT!

Year Two

Happy 2nd year in our AZ home!

It's now been two years to the day that B and I have been growing some roots in our little corner of Arizona. We've loved it so much here and are looking forward to living it up as much as we can until our move to Ohio in the summer!

What better way to spend our 2nd year AZ-iversary than to watch the 'Lightning In The Desert' airshow practice on base. B of course was working it, but the flying was great nonetheless. :) Much love to hubs.. SO proud to call him mine!

Girls Day

Today was much needed during this Spring Break of mine. The wonderful Sammy and I were able to meet up for a great girls day. We had lunch and went off to paint pottery at a new(er) local studio in town. What a great relaxing time, can't wait to see our finished products in a week!

Pre-painting! 

Let's Go Racin!

During the first weekend in March, we drove out to PIR again for another NASCAR race in the valley! As always, I was cheering on Jimmie and Brad hoping for a Jr. win.

We had a fantastic time with some new and old friends tailgating beforehand and watching the race together. If you have not made it out to a NASCAR race before, you should go. At least once. :)

Our little patch of paradise. And those clouds!

Our whole group!

Hubs and I

Got to see a former student and his family :)

Kevin Harvick for the win

Slow Cooking

It seems like many people recently have put out tons of 'freezer to crockpot' meals and they look delicious, not to mention brilliant. I'm not quite to the point where I want to take on the ones with 40+ meals to prep all at once, but here's to giving a weeks worth of meals a try.

Hopefully we will be spending more time together, friend.
