Did I mention that we have a wedding coming up??? I feel a bit sorry for the people in my life that have had to listen to me plan, debate and dream over the last few months. When you plan a wedding, it tend to monopolize your entire existence. Heather & Nate have done the lions share of planning, but a few things have come my way. I posted pictures of us making corsages, and today we finished up the table favours. I know, we waited till the last minute....however I did start a new school year and have been preparing a classroom for a bunch of new little munchkins. Anyway we are counting down and there are a handful (+ 1) of days left until the big day. I think one of the things I am most excited about is having all of the people that mean the most to us all together in the same room. Family from Wisconsin, California, Colorado, even friends from across the ocean!
I guess the above paragraph was to explain why I have not posted in many moons. I am sorry for those of you who are loyally checking this blog to see what's new. I know I'm disappointed when I look at my daughters page and don't see a new post, so I have let you down. For that I apologize, but be warned that I probably will not put anything new on until after the wedding. I am by the way super excited, and can't wait to see my baby girl walking down that aisle with a HUGE smile on her face, happily ever after is about to begin.
Another wonderful thing in my life these days is the fact that the Nebraska Cornhuskers are winning!!!!!!! I am such a big husker fan, it's just silly. I am SOOOOO proud of our team and am thrilled that BO knows football. Go Big Red!
As a distraction from our busy schedules, we went to an away football game Friday night with our friends Nancy & Bill (they are a host couple at the wedding). Two hours in the car can be quite relaxing and it was a great time to read the paper and just 'be'. I found a recipe in the USA Weekly section that turned out to be pretty good. We really enjoy Tex-Mex and Mexican food, this is one that I will pull out of my hat again.
EASY CHICKEN & CHEESE ENCHILADAS
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup Picante sauce
2 tsp chili powder
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
6 flour tortillas (6") warmed
1 small tomato, chopped,
1 green onion, sliced
Stir the soup, sour cream, Picante sauce and chili powder in a medium bowl.
Stir 1 cup Picante sauce mixture, chicken and cheese in a large bowl.
Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam side up in an 11x8 shallow baking dish. Pour the remaining Picante sauce mixture over the filled tortillas. Cover the baking dish with foil.
Bake @ 350* for 40 min. or until the enchiladas are hot and bubbling. Garnish with the tomato & onion.

FINALLY, a recipe I already have, our family LIVES for these enchiladas. Ironically, we make them in the mountains every summer we go to my Grandpa's cabin in Estes Park, CO. I remember these with pine scented air coming in through the screen doors, a storm brewing outside, and my Mom, Grandma, and I laughing inside.
So thanks for this random trip down memory lane!
