The BEST Potato Soup EVER!!

A year ago around christmas my mom bought we a cook book that has only award winning recipes! With the weather being how it is is thought i would try out one of the soups....im glad i did because this really is the best potato soup i have ever had!! Try it out next time its cold...it is wonderful!!!

6 bacon strips
1 can ( 14.5 oz) chicken broth
3 cups cubed peeled potatoes
1 small carrot grated
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon of celery seed
Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups of milk
8 ounces process American Cheese, cubed


In a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain. Add the broth, vegetables and seasons. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Combine flour and milk until smooth; add to soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add cheese; stir until cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Garnish with green onions if desired

FINALLY SUCCESS!!

i have quit smoking....it has taken alot of work but i have done it!! Jeremy and i have thought about trying for kids, after we find a house (which is alot harder than you would think, here is wonderful camden ar) , and get settled! We didnt want to attempt anything until i had quit smoking!! And now that the taxes have gone up on them, I am even more excited!!! I just think about all the money that i am saving and that we might have a kid in the near future!! Now our next task...finding a home!! We have been looking for the past year....yes you read correct a year!! It really is hard down here to find a home that is 1. not so outdated that you want to vomit 2. is actually worth what they are asking 3. in a good neighborhood for kids ( that we will have someday)

what really gets me about the whole house buying thing is that we have the money to buy but hell there isnt a house out there! i mean we are newlyweds and cant afford a 300,000 home!! But we would like something nice.....not a shack!! ugh....hopefully all works out

xoxo!

Lindsey Bosche'

Lindsey Bosche' is coming into town this weekend and I couldnt be more excited! She is one of my best friends and i love her dearly! I havent seen her since my wedding and this reunion is much needed!! I cant wait!!!

ROSCO'S COMPLICATIONS

It's been 4 days since rosco has had his surgery and his leg is healing just fine!! BUT there is another part of him that isnt doing so hot! Now for somepeople this might be funny(even to me) but to him it is TOTALLY not funny! His testicles are swollen..and when i say swollen i mean SWOLLEN!! i tried to put some medication on them last night to maybe give him some relief and he ran from me and sat down!! looking up at me like "please dont do that again" but no fear he is going to the vet today to repair this problem!!

Rosco

Jeremy and I do not have any kids yet...we have a dog....Rosco!! I love this dog so much!! He is my little pride and joy! He is one of the most well mannered dogs i have ever seen!! Im not predjuice just cause he is my dog but he really is..all my friends say so! But sunday he came home after playing outside for a couple of hours and he has a big boo boo! i mean he has a 4 inch gash and a puncher hole on his back left leg! im freaking out here...my baby is hurt! so i proceed to call the vet and end up having to wait 2.5 hours for her to get out of church for her to see my baby!! so she calls us to tell us that we can bring him in to see her and off we go! When we get to the vet she informs us that he needs to have surgery!! SURGERY! i freaked out for a minute but what has to be done has to be done!! So he comes home after surgery and he is very "drunk" and he follows me everywhere cause he needs some tlc!! Hope all goes well!!
