Look Ma! I made gravy!

So I don't think that me and this whole blogging world are working out quite right, because I can never remember to blog between school, homework, family, friends, and the 500 weddings, baby showers, and wedding showers we're invited to. Does this constant go, go, going ever end?

I feel like I just turned 21 yesterday, but in fact I turn 24 in a few months... What happened to the last few years? I had a plan at one point to have babiesby 24, I don't exactly have that desire right now, but I feel like time is passing me by faster than I can look up the date!

Cody started his new job, he likes it. I like it. However, I feel like we say, hello. goodbye. And thats the extent of our conversation on most days. I'm not a fan. I'm a talker. I'm good at it. I don't feel like being a newlywed should feel like this. Maybe in time we will get used to our new schedule and I will feel better about it.

School is going to kick my ass this semester... so many papers. I feel so done with school already and the semester has just started!

On a lighter note. I attempted to make a semi-difficult dinner last night. Maybe not difficult to well seasoned moms difficult, but I'd say for someone whos only good at making spaghetti, it was pretty dang tough! So we made Chicken fried steak, creamed potatoes (or mashed, whats the difference really), and green beans!
I'm no Paula Deen, but it was pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. Got off to a pretty scary start (I burned the shit outta the first one =-/...) but the second and third steak were a nice golden brown! Yum! ... Oh and did I mention my first successful attempt at gravy! I've always been afraid of gravy, never even wanted to help my mom... its like a science! So I basically got my handy dandy Pioneer Woman cookbook, and followed her every instruction! Thanks pioneer woman! So this is what it looked like...
BOOYA!
Not amazing by any means, but I am tooting my own horn on this one! It was edible, which meant the world to me! Well thats all I got for now ladies and gents!
