I love cooking with my husband.
Thank you to mom and dad Lawlor for what you have taught him.
He usually makes french toast for breakfast on the weekends. Today we had eggs and cheese whiz on toast. We usually have it on bagels but we only have cinnamon raisins bagels and I vetoed the decision to have my egg and whiz on that!
Mike's specialties are taco soup, Red Lobster biscuits and no bake cookies. He can also make puffed wheat squares. I know that may sound silly because they are easy but for some reason mine don't turn out! If you want puffed wheat squares from us, ask Mike to make them! I can do it, but they just don't stick together. Am I not boiling it long enough?
He can make more than was mentioned above but those are the ones he makes on a regular basis.
Today we made shepherd's pie and boy was it tasty.

Where did you come from?
I feel that part of the reason that I am in Saskatoon is to do genealogy. I know it may sound funny but my amazing aunt, genealogy wonder woman, has done A LOT of work on my families genealogy. But, she seems to be getting stuck on the Andres (or Andreas) line. Most of my families history on my Dad's side is Mennonite who came from Russia and settled in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. She said that the line just stops and she can't get any more information than what she has. She thinks they moved to Mexico, as many Mennonite families did, and settled in a place called Chihuahua.
I went to the genealogy library at my church today to see what I could do. I looked in my notebook and noticed that I wrote down the date when I started working on it and it was March 5, 2008....only a few days over a year! Kind of funny.
Mike and I went to Hague over a year ago to find the tombstone of an ancestor that is listed in my book as being buried in Hague. But we didn't find anything. I have looked online and have been able to verify some information that my aunt found. That was cool. I can't imagine what it will feel like when I find information that we didn't know at all.
I love the feeling I get when I am in the genealogy library. It feels so neat to be there. I know I can look at home but there is something there that makes me feel energized. Yah, energy, that is the word I am looking for.
My goal is to go on Saturdays at least once a month or every couple of months and maybe change it up to Thursday nights once spring comes and the library is open later.
Wish me luck.

Where does he come up with this stuff?!
I'm just glad he does!
This is what Mike did for me for Valentines. And this was after we had fondue together and watched a little Magnum P.I.!
He wrote on the balloons what we did for most of the Valentines day that we have been together. Cute, I know. The tulips ended up being orange and yellow. They were beautiful but I am having issues with my memory card so I didn't get a picture.
Oh yeah, and did you notice the Turtle Cadbury egg on my pillow?
I'm. so. in. love.

I've had enough
Hi. I have held back too long in posting this one.
Did you notice the word 'too' in my sentence.
USE IT PROPERLY PEOPLE!
To= I am going to the store....I want to take a shower.....I want to go to Hawaii
Too=I had too much dessert....I have too much stuff on my fridge.
See, that wasn't so hard was it?
sorry if this seemed a little harsh for such a small thing but it drives me nuts when this is not used properly. Thanks for letting me vent.

Big News
No, I am not pregnant. I am sorry I can't tell you that, but the next best thing is that Mike and I are starting the adoption process! We meet with Saskatchewan Adoption this week.
We are now spreading the word so let everyone you know we are hoping to adopt.
We love you all and thank you for your love, support and prayers.

Would you like some company?
** Mike is able to come with me to Calgary, so I don't need a ride!
Is anyone from Saskatoon going to Calgary or Lethbridge this weekend? My cousin is getting married and I am trying to go but I didn't really want to drive by myself. I might fly but I figured if anyone is going then I could maybe catch a ride.
Contact me ASAP. Thanks.
