Valentines and Such....
To start, this letter to Babies r Us is very entertaining...everyone should read this!
Early Valentines Dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. YUM! we've been here twice now and both times have been amazing. So good!
Then for Valentines day, Wes got me this sweet bracelet! Husband of the Year? I think so!
and i love when my scentsy orders come in, especially on valentines day! I got Posy Peach and Caramel Pear Cider (something like that) and French Lavendar for the bedroom.
I dote on this man! Love him to pieces!
So week 1 of the Clomid started on 2/13. I took it at night and the next day I felt fine. But today i got emotional..so funny! I started to tear up when Wes asked me to drive to work today . I hope everyday isn't like this....i also hope that it works and so that i don't have to go through it again.
Oh I made these lovely muffins for Valentines as well..best muffins you will ever make! heres the recipe-
Banana Crumb Muffins

Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese
A couple weeks ago, I made the most amazing AMAZING Mac and Cheese dish I've ever had. I am being legit.
I really didn't steal this recipe , per say, I was skimming through the oh-so lovely Pinterest and just saw quickly a Buffalo Mac and Cheese dish. I didn't even look at the recipe. Why? UHHH..Mac and Cheese from scratch is one of the first things I taught myself in my early 20's when I started learning to cook .
So..Basic Mac and Cheese recipe? Im sure you can Google it and get a ton of variations. But this is what I do.
Basic Mac and Cheese
4 TB of Butter
4 TB of Flour
3 Cups of Milk
2 Cups of Cheddar Cheese
1TB of yellow mustard
Salt and Pepper
1 package of short pasta ( macaroni, penne, rigatoni- choose your poison)
Start the base of your roux with melted butter, and flour and cook it for a minute or two, add your milk a little at a time and whisk. Whisk until you don't see lumps then let the whole mixture come to a boil. add mustard and cheese and Salt and Pepper to taste. Toss in your cooked pasta and Voila..quick homemade mac cheese. My variations includes adding bacon, chicken, and broccoli or peas. or using different cheeses and sometimes I will throw on some italian bread crumbs on the top with melted butter and give it a crunchy touch.
This time, for my buffalo chicken mac and cheese I subbed the cheddar cheese for SMOKED CHEDDAR CHEESE! eep! so yummy! and I added about a cup of Frank's Buffalo Hot Sauce. i cooked my chicken breast half way through and then cooked it in hot sauce the rest of the way. I bought the stir fry chicken package in the poultry section and just cut them into bite sized pieces. Cooking time goes alot faster that way.
Threw in my pasta into the sauce and added blue cheese crumbles and mixed. Here is the masterpiece, add more hot sauce and blue cheese for taste! YUM YUM!

Mission: Baby Miller
Wesley's test results finally came back! we waited 11 days! I was so stressed out. But I can breathe a sigh of relief- he came back all normal. as well as all my test and exam results!
So whats the deal? We are both normal and still haven't been able to have our little Miller baby? I am trying to not whirl my brain over what could be causing it- bad luck, health, caffeine, not flipping my legs over my head and all those old wives tales, STRESS?. Part of me makes me mad about why we are taking so long and others it happened , seemingly, so quick. However, I think that, at this point, it really is what in God's plan for us and when he thinks we should bring a little baby to this World. I just need to keep myself positive and not dwell on what hasn't happened, I know- easier said than done.
So now , we just need to determine if Clomid is going to be a go still.
A few weeks ago I went and saw a psychic. I was kind of skeptical but still had an open mind about it.
She touched on alot of things- my personality, my marriage, my family, and of course I asked if we were going to have a baby soon. Now, I don't want to weigh to heavily on what she said, but she said that she sees me with a baby bump by the summer, and that we will have a boy. We would have a little girl immediately after our first child, back-to-back pregnancies! Oh my! I really hope all this comes true!
