Living the Good Life : )

I am so excited to start work next week but we are enjoying our relaxing life . And making yummy food . (Recipe at the bottom!) Such as . . .

Laying out by the beautiful pool . . .

 Working out . .

And just being silly us .

We went to the Dallas Temple today . It was lovely . But definitely not Provo!

It is very small and there was only one other person in our session .

It was a great experience .

I'm in love with this boy . He makes me happy and gives me a reason to get ready for the day sometimes : ) 

We made our special black bean chili tonight . So good! Gotta love crock pot dishes . 

I know I look so lovely in this picture . This was after a wonderful workout .

Here's how we make it :

Black Bean Chili
2 cans black beans
1 can diced tomatoes (any flavor really . We haven't tried any we haven't liked . )
About 1 cup chopped onion (We've used different kinds . . any work)
1 chopped pepper
1 can corn
3/4 pound pork, cut into small cubes (no need to cook beforehand)
1 cup chunky salsa
A dash of chili powder, oregano, garlic, and onion powder

Throw it all in a crock pot and cook it on low for about 7 hours.

Garnish with some sour cream and cheese . Easy as that . It's great to eat with tortilla chips .

Try it, enjoy it, and as you can tell, we guess and improvise on a lot of the ingredients .

Food. Yum.

 Tonight we made food. Yummy food.

Ranch chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and a salad with corn, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. 

Remember our recent obsession with McDonald's chocolate shakes? We made them.

 And they basically taste just as good. I just wish we would have had straws.

Yummy.

Work at Southwest starts in a week!

We like to P . . uzzle . . arty . .

First, for the puzzle part.

Since right before we got married, Paul and I discovered that we like to puzzle. In our home, our artwork on the wall consists of puzzles that we have framed. 

  

And since we've been here, we've completed two more. : )

Now for the party part.

We've had fun going to see the few cousins I have around here. Here's Paul and one of his new little buddies. 

My cousins have the cutest boys! Paul loves hanging out with them.

 The young men in our ward washed cars for a fundraiser.  They were so gross after the drive from Utah to Texas..lots of bugs that got very stuck . .

They look much better now.

We are happy here : )

Luv, Lindsay
