Sausage-Cheese Balls

You will need:

1 lb ground sausage
1 lb shredded cheese
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1 small can green chiles

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Roll into sm/med. size balls and place on an un-greased baking sheet. Bake for 30 mins on 300 degrees, then for another 5 minutes on 350 degrees.

These are AMAZING. You can omit the chiles if you don't like them, and you can use whatever cheese you want. They are seriously so good. A great crowd pleaser...a great appetizer. Enjoy!

1st Day of School!

Today was my first day of school. I had 3 classes today: Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, and Math. Tomorrow I have English. I have the first 3 classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of every week. I have English Tuesday/Thursday of every week. I'm pretty dang nervous about all of it, but especially math! I hate math, and it has been 4 years since I last had a math class...in high school! Today in math class, the teacher showed us some "simple" math problems to start the year off. I was so lost. I remember being very good at doing them in high school, so I am hoping that eventually it will all come back to me. I definitely do NOT want to have to drop this math class to go down to an easier one. I am gonna work my butt off to get good grades this year! Books are going to be SUPER expensive. Like around $500. Yikes! Not so excited about that. Thank goodness for school loans. They will help me be able to pay for books and daycare, and any other costs that arise. And what's great about school loans is that I don't have to pay them back until I graduate school.
So as most people that know me know....I am one of the MOST indecisive people you will ever meet. Now that I have decided on getting a nursing degree, I am now re-thinking that! I still want to stay medical, but I am wondering if I should just go beyond nursing and go to medical school to be a doctor. I know it is way more schooling...like double, but I definitely think it will be worth it! So I just really don't know what to do. I am thinking the pre-requisites are the same for nursing as they are for pre-med. So I may have a year or two to decide what I want to do.
On a different note, Maxwell will be home in AROUND a month!!!!! I am SO excited, I can't even stand it! I got a HUGE welcome home banner made for him for when we are at the airport waiting. He will be coming home later than the others, so I wanted his welcome home to feel extra special. I have all of our families coming to greet him at the airport. I am having Max's aunt make Allie another little miniature uniform to wear at the airport to welcome her daddy home. We can't wait for daddy to be home with us again!

Here are a few pictures of boo boo and I.

Nerves

School is going to be starting for me, next Monday! I am so nervous/excited. I just want to do good. I haven't gone to school for 4 years. And 4 years ago...that was High School. I did really good in High School. I was almost a straight A student. I just hope that I have retained the knowledge, and that I will do very good in college!

Exciting!!!!

So I have planned a vacation for Maxwell and I for when he comes home. He deserves to relax and have a break from everything. We will be going to Ocho Rios, Jamaica! We will be staying at the Sandals Grande Riviera Resort. I booked us a butler suite. That means that the butler will wait on us hand and foot. We won't have to worry about a thing. That is what I wanted for Max. He shouldn't have to worry about anything. The butler will put our clothes away for us, bring us food/drinks, book tours for us...among many other things! We will be leaving on the 17th of November and return the 24th of November. People keep asking us if we will bring Allie. The answer is....NO. We need some quality "us" time. Not that we don't love Allie, or don't want her to come, we just need some time with just the two of us. This will be the longest time for me to be away from her. I am hoping I have plenty of things to do to keep the sadness away.
While at the resort, we will be able to get scuba certified, and go scuba diving as much as we want! That is one of the things we are most excited about. We've both always really wanted to scuba dive...not just snorkel. We will also be interacting with dolphins! We will get to touch, kiss, dance, and ride bottlenose dolphins! Also we will get to watch a shark show(not exactly sure what that is, but seems very interesting!). Also included is interacting with exotic birds, petting stingrays, and glass bottom kayaking! Next on the list of activities we will do is riding horses on the beach, and in the jungle! How romantic. Then we will do some zip lining above the canopy of the jungle....then on to do some river tubing. When I booked our stay, we got a spa credit! So we will also be getting some couples massages, and pedicures.
There are sooooo many things we are going to do. So much fun. It will be like heaven on earth. We are super excited and just with November was here already!

Our Lil' Cutie!

Allison has won second runner up in a "Lil Cutie Contest" run by our photographer. We are so proud of her.

I was also told today by a woman I do not know(over the phone)that is making a quilt with pictures of Allie and Max on it, that Allie is the most beautiful baby girl she has EVER seen. She now wants to use Allie's pics in an ad campaign she is doing. We couldn't be more proud of our little girl.

Play Date

This play date was a little while back, and I know I am slacking in the blogging department, but here are some pics from the occasion. The little girl in the pics with Allie is a little younger than Allie. She belongs to my choir teacher from High School!

Braces

It's been way too long since I have posted on here! I just have a little update. This last Monday, I got braces. Oh boy do they hurt my mouth! I hear the pain should only last about a week, but I am hoping it goes away sooner. All of my gums and every tooth in my mouth is killing me. No pain, no gain. Right?
