Dinner Disaster

You ever make something for dinner that just wasn't what you thought it would be?! Well, I made this Tuesday, and it wasn't that great. Now my friend Jane recommended it, and I hope she knows I don't blame her at ALL! As the recipe I made Monday that she shared was a SUCCESS (minus the potatoes I made, which weren't the ones recommended)!

See, I made the Meatball Sub Casserole, and I didn't read the recipe very well, so the frozen meatballs weren't thawed. I also think I should have only used 1/2 the bag of meatballs. I also know Steven doesn't like Cream Cheese or Mayo, but I left the Mayo out. The recipe said to use an ungreased casserole dish, but the bread stuck to the bottom.

So when I make it next time, I'm not going to make the cream cheese/mayo mixture at all. Instead I'll only put Mozzarella on top of the bread, then only use half the meatballs (that I've thawed), then sprinkle more Mozzarella on top of the meatballs. I'll also only cook it for the 30 minutes, I ended up putting in for about 15 more minutes because the cheese didn't look melted enough! Ha!

Chalk this up to lessons learned!! Ha!

50-ish Days

Steven and I have made the decision to move to his hometown, in order to save a little money until he does get a new job, and he is officially separated from the Army in February, we are going to leave our apartment a few days before our lease it up (Thank God for the Military clause in our lease!) and move in with his mom. We are so grateful that we have our family to support us.

Steven put a waiver in to try and go either IRR or Reserves, but that was denied, not sure why. But he started ACAP this week and has given his resume to 3 recruiters and is going to be putting a packet in for a job in his hometown. We are hopeful he'll get something soon.

The outpouring of support has been awesome. And we are so grateful for everyone and everything! So thank you!

In a little over 50 days we start a new chapter. And that is both exciting and nerve-racking!
