This poor
blog has been neglected for a couple of weeks. Let me be honest though we’ve
had a lot going on – some hard times for my family – and general busyness. But
I truly miss blogging, so today I’ve got a post to catch you up on our life
lately.
This book is
the perfect Summer read that can get you list in for hours making you wish you
lived on the coast or someplace with water close by! Nancy Thayer has such a
smooth, easy writing style which makes all of her books very enjoyable. In this
one, she created characters that are very easy to relate to. I enjoyed this
book.
I’m so excited to start the new Well Watered Women Study.
TV Show: Big Brother 19
Ryan and I
both had never watched this show. When it started advertising we thought lets
record this and see what this is all about. It’s such an addicting show. It’s
totally different than I thought it would be. Hilarious and dramatic at the
same time.
Recipe:
Fathead Dough Pizza
With Ryan eating “low carb” lately I’ve been getting more
creative with recipes/Pinterest. I finally have mastered this recipe. From
reading so many different forums here is what I’ve came up with:
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups
shredded mozzarella cheese
¾ cup almond flour
2 tbsp. cream cheese
1 egg, beaten
Instructions:
1. In a microwave safe bowl, add mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave
for 1 minute. Stir the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together (quickly)
and replace in the microwave for another 30 seconds.
2. Preheat oven to 425 F.
3. Beat the egg while you are microwaving the cheeses together. Stir in the
beaten egg and flour.
4. Wet your hands before picking up the dough out of the bowl. Spray your pizza
pan (make sure to get the sides as well, it’s hard to get it off the pan after
its done cooking) then spread your dough out evenly. (If your dough is
“stringy” that means your cheese has hardened too much – put it back in the
microwave for another 20 seconds.)
6. Add pizza sauce, pepperonis, whatever you want on your pizza! This step is
fun – you get to be creative.
7. Place the
pizza back into the oven for another 12-14 minutes.

Eating: NekterJuice Bar!
I have been waiting for this place to open in Fort Worth, Texas.
These juices taste so fresh, natural, and clean, not like the normal ones that
I’ve tasted when I immediately want to spit it out! The menu: natural,
freshly-made juices, smoothies, acai bowls, or cold pressed juices. If you
haven’t tried this – make sure to add it to your list!
Visiting: We
took a mini road trip to Austin Texas to watch my sweet cousin Brooke graduated
from James Bowie High School.
My best
friend Allison from birth to now married the man of her dreams. It was a sweet, simple,
and cozy wedding with her/his closest friends surrounding them with love.
Etc:
A close friend -Erin- of ours had a Luau this year... I didn't get many photo's but here is the tiki bar she made!
The Eclipse of course!
Moved Brooke into College Station for College (we are so proud of you) - Ryan is loving this!
Celebrating
our new JWC President – MELISSA HOWARD CARTER!
Gabi
was Allison and I's Make-A-Wish child over the summer. Her wish was to go to
Disney World wearing Belle's outfit!
Dimension's
is one of the 14 groups that make up JWC. I could've made a better decision by
choosing this amazing, sweet, loving group of girls! Last year we started our
own Fantasy Football Teams - so much fun. This year Emily (the person who is in
charge and puts it all together for us - SHE'S STUNNING) had all of us over to
draft at her house.
Celebrated Labor Day with one of Ryan's childhood best friend (Tanner) and his wife (Brittany).
