So last night I tried a new kinda recipe that my friend Amanda gave me just with words. So I had to do my best to remember it. But it was mega easy to remember. Anyways....it was soooooo good that I just have to share it! Also it all only cost about $10...that is my guess because we already had the chicken and cheese. What I paid is $4! I have no idea what it's called so I'm just calling it
Ooh Ooh Good Chicken! (this is my recipe)
4 pieces of chicken (next time I will also put 6 pieces of chicken, or 4 large pieces)
1 box stove top stuffing
1 can rotel
1 can of mushrooms (I added this b/c we both love mushrooms)
1 can of chicken broth
shredded cheese
Turn the oven on to 375. Put chicken on bottom of pan, the pour on stove top (which I used the walmart chicken flavored brand), rotel, mushrooms and chicken broth. Mix it all up. Put it in the oven for 30 min. Take out and put the shredded cheese on top to cover the whole dish. Put back into the over for another 10 min. Ding....it's Ooh Ooh good! haha
**actually when I made this I also put 1/2 a can of water in it. But I thought the stuffing was too soggy, though David said it was perfect. Next time I make it I'm not going to put the water in, and that is why I didn't include it in the recipe**
(this is what my friend put in hers)
4-5 pieces of chicken (that she cut up before putting in the pan)
1 box stove top stuffing
1 can tomato chuncks
water to cover to the top (I just thought the chicken broth would have better flavor than water)
She cooked it the same way I did but she had the cheese on the whole time.

Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven't written in a long time well I'll just sum up what has happened in the past week or 2. Me and Joe broke up again, then got back together. Me, Joe and Neeley are playing a big trick on Stevie the BITCH Mayo. Okay it started Mon morning Neeley told Stevie that Joe was going to break up with me for her. So Tue. Joe fake broke up wht me (were still going together)then Thur. he's going to ask me back out and tell Stevie that he's only asking me out to have a date to the dance, then at the dance when there song comes on I'm going to go over to Stevie and Neeley and say he broke up with me again then act really upset, then Joe's going to ask her to dance and ask her out Then of course she's going to say yes, so after she says yes, he's going to tell her off and tell her that we just majorly pulled a very BIG joke on her so then me and Joe are going to dance to the rest of the song if it's still playing. Well Robby did something I never thought anyone on the face of this earth would ever do. He was going out with Virginia and asked Allison Six to the dance, and then wrote Virginia a note telling her he had ask Allison to the dance and she said eys, then dumped her. Well GTGTB
Love,
Natalie
So I picked this one totally because I think it's funny that Rob made it to my diary! haha He was a teenage boy! I would have done the same thing if I was him!! haha Allison Six or Virginia? Hmmm....haha....
I don't even know what to say about the whole Joe/Stevie thing.....I don't know why I thought that was even funny. First of all it didn't happen...but no matter how big of a bitch Stevie was that was just mean what we had planned! And still with Joe?? Why didn't anyone slap me?? haha
Oh also, I tried to read some of this to David and we just couldn't get past the part where I start each entry to my diary with hello, how are you, or sorry I haven't written....it's not a person! haah Who was I writing to?

Dear Diary,
So the other night I went into our guest closet to get a book to read. While I was in there I found my diary from jr. high and high school. So I decided that could be the next book I read! It has so far made me laugh out loud! Some of the things I wrote were just too funny!! I've made it all the way through jr. high now, and I thought that there we some entries I just had to share....so for the next few days you will be reading my jr. high/high school diary! I hope you laugh as much as I have!
P.S. I am going to type it just as it is written with spelling mistakes and all...sometimes that is more funny than what I'm talking about....

Dear Diary,
Howdy, How R U? Me - OK :) I'm so upset though. I was so close to going to Stoval Park with Kelsey, Joe :), Loren :), Jessica, & Sarah. But mamma said NO because it was to far. But oh well Spring Break is almost over, and I will soon see all of them except Sarah, she goes to Young. I'm also happy because I won a bet with Joe last night. He bet me that I could not last on the phone till 5:00 am If I hung up and went to bed that meant that Tue. when we went back to school I had to give him a kiss which would not be that bad, but I won so sometime this summer we both have to go to 6 Flags together and with none of our friends, just us 2. Which I don't mind either. Joe also said that probly by the end of the year we will be going out. :) But soemtimes I wish Kelsey had never come to Boles because I would be going out with Joe as I write :). Oh well, I can't wait until 7:25 because were going (mamma, Nick, Cliff, Catie, & I) to see The Tall tales of Pacos Bill, then MAN OF THE HOUSE (Doubel feature) I miss TJ, and Joe, except for the fact that I have talked to Joe everyday of Spring Break, except for today. But hey the days not over yet. Well I GTG mamma wants me to make some sugar cookies with easter M&M's in them. Bye Bye
Love
Natalie :)
P.S. I forgot to tell you that I dumped Zack, then went out with a major dweebe named Nathan But then I dumped him. I'm also very happy because Joe always says he loves me and I think he really means it I know he really cares about me because he says it all the time and Kelsey also said it. Loren also said I was his baby, and he loved me too, but I think he means as friends, well GTG again
Love, Natalie :)
So my first favorite part is when I am talking about going to the movies and then jump right into missing TJ and Joe! haha Plus wtf am I missing about TJ!!??!! If I had known then what I know now I wouldn't have wasted so much "love" (hahahaha) for him!! I am kinda mad at myself for calling Nathan a "major dweebe" haha. He was so sweet in jr. high.....I was so blinded by Joe!! And OMG I would sooooooooooo much rather be friends with Kelsey than Joe anyday!! I also love how I talk to my diary as if it is a person, and that I sign it all Love Natalie....as if it could possibly be someone else! haha.....another to come tomorrow....I hope this one has made you smile!
P.S. I am going to type it just as it is written with spelling mistakes and all...sometimes that is more funny than what I'm talking about....

Testing Day #3
Did not go as well as day 1 and 2. Today was their Language Arts day and they had 3 timed sections. I had kids not finish the first timed part and the last timed part. I hate having to turn in tests with blank answers. Blanks are so much worse than a guess! At least with a guess you have the possibility of getting it right....but oh well.....I also watched a kid fail the test today. She chose for almost 10 questions in a row that there were no mistakes in the sentences. Which was not at all correct :( Oh well at least they have a 2 day break before we finish the test. All that is left is Science and Social Studies. Which is probably going to be the hardest part! Oh well......I did get two good days!

proof that I do know how to do my job
Testing Day #1
So yesterday, day 1, was math. I have to walk around the room and watch them take the test to make sure they are doing all the "things" right. Like bubbling in the right places, not marking on the answer sheet where they are not allowed to, not opening another part of the test we are not on, not going back to a part we are already finished with, etc. etc....the list goes on and on. So anyways....I'm walking around and I can see that for the most part my kids did pretty well on the math section. Well at least I think/hope so. None of them got stressed out. They all took their time and I could tell they were doing the work. So we will see when the scores come in....
Testing Day #2
Another successful day. Today was our writing and informational text part. So the writing topic was to write a letter to a friend that you went to school with last year and tell them all the fun things they missed out on this year by not coming back to your school. I about cried tears of EXTREME JOY when I saw this topic!! I can't tell you how many times we have worked on writing letters! I had my kids write a letter at the first of they year and they did so bad on it that we would write letters often just to get into the practice of what a letter is supposed to look like and sound like. I know they had to of done well on that part today! Again I'll have to wait for the true results when the scores come in.....but I am confident! Plus my kids have been extremely confident in themselves these past two days which really really helps!
So.....so far so good!!
YAY!!
I sure did have a lot to say today.....:)

When you are finally content in your own situation...
....is when He does what you have been wanting all along!
So I wrote that blog about my revelation, and it really was. I have gone back and forth from wanting to be here, to not wanting to be here in Louisiana. Last September when David was offered a job at home I thought it was horrbile timing because I was so very happy here. I loved everything that was going on in our lives here in Louisiana. I was so upset about the whole thing, and then it fell through. I was sad it didn't happen, but I was happy to get to stay in Louisiana for more time. Then life got hard, and I got to the point of not wanting to be here anymore. It was really my job that ruined everything. I was so upset and stressed out everyday. I hated going to work. So I sat down to type that blog and it turned into me realizing that where I am right now is okay. I can be happy in this place, because it's where He wants me to be. I have to take the bad and find the good. And I did just that. I was content with being here in Louisiana, and I decided that I would be happy here for however long that has to be......
Well that only has to be for 2 more months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE MOVING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited about the whole thing I could scream from the roof of our apartment!! David was offered a mall in Allen, and it couldn't have been better timing!! On Tuesday David's boss came out here and they posted a help wanted ad online, and got 3 hits by the end of the day. Last night David and his boss interview a guy, and they have decided to hire him to take David's job. They are going to tell him on Monday, and then David will have to train him for 2 weeks ones he starts. So by the first of May David will be home in Dallas at his new job in Allen! I will have to wait it out here until the end of the school year. Then I'll be coming home. The timeing couldn't be more perfect. While I'm home for Spring Break Richardson ISD is holding their job fair. So I'm going to go to that. Garland is also holding their job fair too, so I am going to do by damn best to make it to that one too. They are on the same day at the same time. But I'm going to try and do them both. I'll just be tired when they are over and have to haul ass to make it to Jennifer's baby shower in time!
But anyways...so right now our plan is to live with David's parents until our lease is up here. We will still have to be paying rent for June, July and August. Then we wanted to stay through December so we could save some money. We'll see how long we can handle it. 6 months can be a long time! I hope it all works out though. I'm sure it will.....again I just need to trust in Him because he clearly is watching out for us!!
So anyways....that is the exciting news! WE ARE MOVING HOME!!!!!! I'm so happy about it!!
But I haven't told my boss yet. Acutally today I sent him an email telling him that I can't wait to come back for next year. Just in case....you never know....expecially after what happened in September. I don't want everything to fall apart and we not go and then to top it off I gave up my job here. So that is the only string left to deal with once it's all said and done! I'm so excited!!! :)
