Update time!

I feel like i haven't blogged in forever! So here is a quick little update....

Biggest news of the week- we got a keyboard! It's a nice one too. We are excited because now Dan can play piano. He loves playing and is really good at it, so now he finally has something to practice on. One day we would like a real piano, but for now this will have to do. I'm pretty sure our upstairs neighbors would not appreciate us playing a real piano (i'm sure they are already bothered by our rockband playing). Plus we don't even have room for a real piano. So yay for our new keyboard. I even played a few hymns the other day... i think it took me about 10 min. to get through 2 songs! My skills are a little rusty.... (but Daniel's playing is fabulous as always!)

Second on our list of news, only 4 more times left in practicum and I will be DONE! hooray! It's been fun, and the kids have been good, but I am ready for summer. I need a break!

Also, I decided once it gets warm I am going to start running! But it's still snowing here in Utah, so this will have to wait for a few weeks. I hope I can keep it up for more than 2 days....

Daniel's job loves him and wants him to stay in Utah forever and ever, but.... we are now considering the Phoenix area. We plan on checking it out in the near future. We've decided we'll take extreme heat over extreme cold any day!

Enchiladas

So last night I decided to try a new chicken enchilada recipe. I got the recipe off of kraftfoods.com. Which has some pretty good recipes. It sounded really good, however, before you put it in the oven it tells you to cover the enchiladas with salsa and cheese (no sauce). Dan doesn't really like salsa (he thinks it only belongs on chips), so I decided to put some enchilada sauce on it. Well.... we had this western family enchilada sauce that we had gotten at Macey's, it's a kind we've never tried, but it was cheap. I then put them in the oven and 20 min. later we were ready to eat. So... turns out, the enchilada sauce was DISGUSTING! probably one of the worst things i have ever tasted. I really think the enchiladas would have been good, but the sauce completely ruined them. We ended up just scraping the inside chicken part out, which was really good. I just wanted to warn everyone out there to NEVER buy western family enchilada sauce, it is horrible. I highly recommend the Old Elpaso brand, that's my personal favorite. Anyway, just thought i'd share that bit of advice for all of you.....
