missing home!

we've had a pretty good day today. it's been kind of slow, but we got to enjoy each other's company, which is always nice. ryan had class this morning and i worked for a few hours...then we just kind of chilled at the house. i tried to make granola and failed miserably twice! i used a recipe from the barefoot contesa, and it burned. then i used a recipe from a fellow blogger's site and it just didn't really cook quite right-turned out overly floury, too! :\ i did, however, experience success with dinner tonite. we watched a show called rescue chef yesterday (or saturday) on tv and he made enchiladas with cilantro lime rice..it looked so yummy, so we decided to have it at home:


they turned out pretty yummy, if i do say so myself. =)
like i said earlier, i have really been missing home today, for some reason. we waited to check our mail until a few minutes ago and there was one lonely little letter in there-from two of the sweet little girls from king (that were flower girls in the wedding). the other little girl sent me a letter on saturday...anyway, it was SO precious to read their notes and to know that they haven't forgotten us! precious, precious girls... and i miss them so much! such a joy to be around. it was a sweet little gift from God to get a note tonite from them...

Oh baby, I am sorry that your saddness hasn't left. I know it is hard for you guys being so far from home.
It seems like you are trying to find joy in where you are and what you are doing (working, cooking). Continue to look for joy in all things. It will get better. I promise. Once school gets into full swing, Hannah and Chris move out there, you will see how time will fly.
We miss you sweet girl. Please know that you are in our daily prayers. We love you!
