The wedding website is finished and online! Chase has done an amazing job with it and then he let me come in during the 11th hour to plaster some pictures on it and gush over how amazing it is. What can I say? The man's a champ.
And I hope he enjoyed his break between summer and fall semesters because he is back in class today. Well, all of Tallahassee seems to be back in school. And I scored the day off! WOOT! So I'm just lazing around the house, playing with the dogs, reading the paper, watching tv, cruising the internet, putting off doing anything remotely productive (like take a shower or fold my laundry or even do some yoga). I feel like this is what it was like for Chase to be off for two weeks... Truth be told, we did go camping and he was productive... but there were days...
And so, the final semester commences. When he finishes these classes, he's graduating, getting married and (we all desperately hope) gets a job. Now, I have no qualms whatsoever about his ability to get work.... I have reservations about the ability of companies to hire right now. Everyone I talk to is pessimistic about the economy and therefore the job hunt. But I think we have an ace in the hole. We can relocate. So we're not concerned about HAVING to find a job in Tallahassee. Or Florida for that matter. And I think that helps. Of course, if we have to relocate, then I'll be on the job hunt again as well. But maybe I'll have better luck the second go around.
Well, despite my lack of inclination to be productive today, I will have to feed myself some time today... which will tear me away from this computer that is getting hotter and hotter and burning my legs. Maybe one day, when Chase gets a job, then we can afford to buy a desk. And I won't have to burn my legs. ;-)

Frozen Casseroles
Leigh Ann usually has Sundays off (and so do I) and decided that free time on Sunday would be a good time to make and freeze some casseroles so we would have some easy dinners (and leftovers for lunches) for the following couple weeks.
She hit the internet and found frozen casserole recipes. Which I think is pretty funny (and ironic), since whenever I have cooked for Leigh Ann, she poked fun at me for using internet recipes. The first two recipes she picked were Wild Rice Turkey Bake and Ham-Stuffed Manicotti.
We went to Wal-Mart late one night and got the ingredients. When we got back, she probably spent two and half hours (maybe even longer) fixing four casseroles. That's a lot of work for something you're not going to eat right away. We did eat one the next night however ... and it was terrific. And it was terrific for the next couple days. Turns out you get a lot of servings out of a single casserole. That's just fine with me since it was really good.
I'm really looking forward to trying the Ham Manicotti tonight. I love that Leigh Ann is so smart and clever. We both felt like we've been eating out too much, but both of us have had less time recently to invest in cooking meals. She found a great way to prepare some meals when we did have time and eat them later when we don't have time. Just one more reason why I love her sooooooooo much.

Date 8
Date: August 5, 2009Place: The Tennessee Street Strip.
Activity: "Be adventurous. Challenge your taste buds. Try new restaurants together."
Bonus: We were only planning to try one new restaurant, Pitaria, and then go to TCBY afterward. Turns out there was a frozen yogurt place right beside Pitaria, so we got to try two new restaurants in one evening. WOOHOO!!!
Extra Bonus: I answered Leigh Ann's "calling you out" challenge in her last post.
Best Bonus: We celebrated the end of my summer classes. A couple weeks off will be so nice.
