Let's Go Mountaineers!

So how about those Mountaineers!! 

Steve and I waited all day for this game to come on! We spent the day Saturday doing things around the house and I went grocery shopping. We also carved pumpkins and I made some roasted pumpkin seeds. 

I made taco rollups for dinner click here for the recipe they were sooooo good but they didn't look a thing like the picture which was fine with me. I don't care how they look as long as they taste amazing! Here's a picture of what they were suppose to look like...and I'll spare you from my disaster of a picture

And then we tuned in to watch the WVU Game! What a game I was nervous for a little but Steve was cool, calm and collected as usual. After the win we were both ecstatic! I wore a West Virginia shirt to the grocery store and got so many compliments! Today (Sunday) we just finished watching the Steelers beat the Eagles and are enjoying a relaxing weekend at home. I turned the couch into a pillow nest and have been laying here working and watching football all day.

For dinner we are going to have left over eggplant parm that I froze a few weeks ago. I've never froze individual pieces of eggplant parm and then reheated them so I wonder how they are going to be ill let you all know! Happy Sunday!  

WVU Apron

I went to Hobby Lobby the other day to look around for a new project to do while Steve watches football (theres only so much football I can watch). I saw these blank aprons next to all different colors of puffy fabric paint and thought they would be perfect. I needed a new apron and since it's football season I figured I needed to make it a West Virginia Apron- you can never have too much Mountaineer gear. I would paint my house West virginia colors if I could but were renting :( Anyway I just bought the blank apron and drew on the West Virginia logo and then painted it- it was very simple and I love the way it turned out! 

Where it all began...

My first blog post ever! I've never done the blog thing before but how hard could it be? Im obsessed with Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest so why not throw one more social media into the mix! Heres a picture of Buster and I when we first crossed the state line into TEXAS! Where it all began, our new life 13,000 miles from home. We packed our life into a million little boxes and rented a POD- its like a moving truck they drop off at your house and you fill it up and they come back and pick it up and take it to your destination so you dont have to drive a moving truck across the country. 

We left West Virginia in a BLIZZARD and when we got to Texas it was 75 degrees and beautiful. It was quite the adventure anyone who hasn't driven across the country probably should there's so many things to see! 

We had to find pet friendly hotels along the way and Steve insisted on moving all our house plants from West Virginia to Texas (which I thought was a ridiculous request) we had 9 plants total. Just picture two people walking through the lobby of a hotel 4 times back and forth, each time coming in with a different set of plants in our hands. I wish I took a picture but I do have a picture of a very scared Buster on his first elevator ride ever.. Poor baby  

But after following Steve across the country with walkie talkies (yes steve insisted we each have a walkie-talkie so we can easily communicate from my car to his) we FINALLY made it to our new HOME! We slept on the couch for 2 weeks and ordered takeout until the pod finally arrived with our stuff- I had never been so excited to sleep in a bed before. We are loving Texas and couldn't be happier. Well maybe if my friends and family were a little closer but other than that life in Texas is amazing! The weather is beautiful and we met some great friends down here.
