Day Off!

I cherish the days that Chris and I have off of work together,

especially now that he's working a lot of overtime

to get enough hours for PA schools.

Tonight was especially fantastic since we both had

pretty rough weeks at work.

Yesterday was a very busy and draining day

in good ol' labor and delivery.

Chris started off the evening by waking up and going

out with the missionaries, meaning that

I got to sleep in :)

Thank goodness, because I've been developing a cold.

After watching The Vow (finally!) while Chris

took a nap (he said he would throw up if he watched it),

I woke up my sleepy hubby and we had some fun in the kitchen!

If you know me at all, you know that I am NOT a good cook,

neither do I enjoy it very much.

It just takes up so much thought and time,

plus I get very frustrated if it doesn't turn out as good as I want.

However, when I get to cook with Chris,

it's one of my favorite things!

We have so much fun trying out new things,

and it's a good way to spend time together.

We talk, laugh, sing, and dance around.

LOVE it!

We started off with potstickers as our appetizer,

then tried out a new recipe I found

for chicken parmesan burgers.

I hate spaghetti more than any food in the world,

so Chris sadly has never gotten to eat

the real chicken parmesan in this household.

It was a good compromise to have

all the flavory goodness of the dish on a bun instead of spaghetti.

As we ate, we watched the show we've been waiting for,

Next Food Network Star!

We're food network junkies.

It inspires me to want to cook better haha.

Next we had some fun learning a new song

to sing and play on guitar.

Chris's musical ability always amazes me,

he can hear a song one time

then just start playing away perfectly.

Now currently, he is quizzing me on bands

that I've never heard of

and, as usual, being disappointed

in my lack of musical knowledge.

Oh well, I'm slowly learning!

So all in all, a great night with my best friend :)
