My brother is getting married to Danielle Loftus on December 22, 2009 in Portland Oregon.

I love Oregon so I'm super excited. Oh, and I love that keith has found a wonderful girl. Now, move back to Texas...please.
-
You might recognize her from her grand appearance in the October Ensign article
here.

I am so happy for keith, now I don't have to worry about him being lonely the rest of his life and eating mashed potatoes and pudding out of a cup.

I dreamed in numbers the other day. You know how they say if you dream in a foreign language then you have mastered the skill of knowing that language...well I still have not mastered Math 1010. I have done over 70 hours of math since the start of school and I'm still plugging away at it. I guess dreaming in numbers just means i'm crazy.

I made the most deeeeeeelicious Taco Soup last night!!!!!
-
2 15 oz cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
16 oz can tomato sauce
10 oz package frozen corn (I used 1 15 oz. can of corn)
2 10 oz cans of diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained (use mild if you don't like the spice)
1 15 oz can chicken stock1 small onion, diced
1 package taco seasoning
2 boneless chicken breasts (I used three)
-
Toppings:
Shredded cheddar cheese
Light sour cream
Tortilla chips or strips
Diced Avocado (My favorite)
Sliced olives
Minced cilantro (my mother hates cilantro but i love it)
-
Place the first 7 ingredients in the slow cooker and mix well. Place chicken breasts on top of the ingredients and cover the slow cooker. Cook on high 4-5 hours, or low 8-10 hours. Remove the chicken and cool on a cutting board while you prepare the cheese, sour cream and crushed tortilla chips. Once chicken is cool, shred or cut up very fine, mix back into soup.

It tasted like fall. I am falling in love with fall. I went to Matt's Mom's elementary fall carnival last night and it reminded me of the wonderful J.L. Boren Fall carnivals back in the day. The cake walk was the best game, but guess what...I never won. I still loved the carnival.
-
Ohhhh...and I made these and ate them all.
