Disappointed yet again:(

So the apartment I had mentioned in an earlier post, which I was sure we would get didn't happen. We were told we were'nt approved today, so it has definitely not been a good day. Why is it that when we want something so bad it doesn't workout? I was so anxious to finally be on our own and not have everyone in our business. I'm just so sick of being disappointed all the time, my dad always tells me that "life is full of disappointment" but It still doesn't help! In a way I guess this is a good thing not getting the apartment, because now we can save up money and get our credit up. You could say It's a blessing in disguise! The good news is (there always has to be good news along with the bad) my sister said we could move in with her because her husband is working in Wyoming and she doesn't like being alone, this arrangement will benefit both of us in the long run! Anyways this is a short post and I'll post some pictures when we get settled into my sister's house!

Not meant to be!

So for the past few weeks my husband and I have been trying to find an apartment. Right now we're currently living with my parents, but it's definitely time to get our own place. Well about a week ago we found the perfect apartment and the price was amazing, I absolutely loved it. We were sure we would get it so we packed up everything and starting planning how we would decorate it, and then we found out we didn't qualify. I was so disappointed because I wanted it so bad and I was sure we would be approved. Anyways so I guess that's not where we're supposed to move right now and it just wasn't meant to be!

Although thinking that doesn't do much to make it any less disappointing, we are meant to move somewhere else and I believe that's why we didn't get it. So we've been looking more and I think we found the perfect place. It's got all the things we want and even some added bonuses, now we just wait again until they call us and let us know if we're approved or not. I hate waiting for things, I'm not a patient person at all so it really bothers me not knowing! I really had a good feeling when I went into these apartments and I think this is where we're meant to be. I'm not sure if it's the new ward we'll be in or someone we'll meet but I know this is where the lord wants us to go! Well I'll post when we find out if we got it or not.

Mexican Lasagna

This is a recipe that I got from a friend for my wedding, and just let me say even my picky husband likes it:) So I recommend it to anyone give it a try, it's definitely a keeper!


Mexican Lasagna

1 lb. hamburger
onion
salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg. spaghetti sauce mix
1 pkg. egg noodles
2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
1 Tbsp. butter
1 cup sour cream
1 (3 0z.) softened cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese, any flavor

Brown the hamburger with onion, add salt and pepper. Mix 1 pkg. spaghetti sauce with the 2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce and 1 Tbsp butter. Add meat and simmer for about 10 minutes. In the meantime boil 1 pkg. egg noodles in salted water until tender. Drain and rinse.

Mix 1 cup sour cream and 1 (3 oz.) softened cream cheese, stir until smooth. On the bottom of a 9x13 inch buttered pan, spread the noodles, and then spread the meat mixture on top. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and enjoy:)

I don't have a picture to post right now, but when I get one I'll put it up!

Why not me?

I've never blogged before but a lot of people say it's fun so I decided to give it a shot! So right now my life is pretty good, I've got an amazing husband and I love being married, but there's just one thing that would make my life better....a baby! The funny thing is for the longest time I said I never wanted to get married or have kids, but after I got married it seemed like all of a sudden I wanted a baby, and I wanted it now!! Right now it seems that everyone and their dog is pregnant:) I'm serious I could name at least ten women who I know are pregnant, plus every woman I see everywhere. I know I've only been married for three months and there's a lot of other women who have been trying longer than us, but it still hurts I want this more than anything else in the world.

People say there's no rush to have kids give yourself time with just your husband, well my husband and I dated for two and a half years before we got married so we've had our "us" time! We are both ready for a change and this would be the best change we could ask for. My husband is so good with kids, he's a natural and I know he would make a great father so hopefully soon we'll get our wish!
