"So how's married life", you ask.

So many people have been asking us this question.  To be honest, it doesn't feel all that different yet.  We spent 4 weeks running around Texas and Vegas with the holidays and everything.  So that basically meant we were at one of our parent's houses or completely checked out of normal life that entire time.  Now that we are home we are getting settled in. But there's still no routine yet because I'm not in school yet and William's still without a job.  So here's the play by play on married life:
Closet space: down
Money: down
Food bill: way up!
Bed space: down
Cell phone minutes used: down
Nights spent alone in front of the TV: down
Good company: way up!

Does that sound about right to everyone?

Anyways, I cooked last night. I made something in our new slow cooker! I put it on around noon and it was ready when I got home from work!

Here's the recipe:

Chicken with Creamy Chive Sauce (from the better homes and garden cookbook)

• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1/4 cup of butter or margarine
• 1 0.7oz package Italian salad dressing mix
• 1 10.75 oz can condensed golden mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 of an 8oz tub of cream cheese with chives and onion 
• Hot cooked pasta (optional)

1. Place the chicken in a 3.5 or 4 quart slow cooker. In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in dressing mix. Stir in mushroom soup, wine, and cream cheese until combined. Pour over the chicken in cooker. 

2. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Serve chicken with sauce over the pasta!

William gave it 3 stars. We decided it wasn't very creamy even though the title claimed it was going to be. Next time maybe we will throw in the whole thing of cream cheese. I think it was a good first attempt.  I did it all by myself. William tried to help make the pasta, but apparently that's one thing I can do better than him.

I'm off to go get my picture ID for Richardson ISD.  This semester I will be doing my practicum there.  I'm basically working full time so it should be a lot of fun and a good experience. I also have a meeting with my supervisor today. She just wants to get together and talk about everything before next week.

If anyone has any good slow cooker recipes, send them my way!
