tOo MaNy CoOkS iN oUr KiTcHeN???

     For those of us who know us well, you know that Aaron and I were not very good cooks before his accident. Aaron could do Chili's, I am not talking about the soup, and I could do a nice big bowl of cereal any night of the week. The few times I actually remember cooking and enjoying a real meal at home together after we were married was our first Thanksgiving in Florida in 2007 and I thought you would enjoy the pictures documenting this once in a lifetime event, see below! 


Frying our first turkey, Thanksgiving in Florida 2007!

I honestly think this was the first and last time we actually sat at this table to eat dinner together!

   
 As I was saying, we are not top chefs! Even now, with our craziness, not much has changed. I never thought I would consider McDonald's one of the main food groups and I still love my bowl of cereal no matter what time of day it is! 

   We were just hanging out at the house tonight. I was wanting something sweet and Aaron was bored, pretty typical for the two of us lol! I had recently been to Walmart and got sucked into the fall aisle. I ended up leaving with a bag of orange and black chocolate chips along with other unnecessary fall themed items. 

   I decide to make cookies. Who better to assist me than the person who was complaining they were bored (well at least until he realized that the Ohio State game was on)?! I also thought this would be good therapy... I am pretty sure there are many days that Aaron probably wishes over and over that he hadn't married an elementary teacher! So here are just a few shots of Aaron actually cooking in our kitchen but don't worry I was supervising, I mean helping!

Adding the ingredients!
Mixing them up!



One of the best parts, licking the beater!
Team work...getting the dough ready for the pan!

Almost ready for the oven!

Mmmmmmmm!!!


     For those of you who might get some cookies, please note that Aaron DID wash his hands before, during, and after cooking! Who knew cooking at home could be so much fun!? Maybe next time we should try making dinner! 



   

LaSt LaUgH!


    One of the blessings is that we can pretty much find humor in anything these days...even sneaking into the women's bathroom together where there's no other bathroom for me to go in and help him! 
    Here are just a few things that have been said or have happened recently that have made for a good laugh! If you knew Aaron before the accident you know that he had a great sense of humor and he was very sarcastic! 

Me: (pulling into the rehab to take Aaron back one evening)
Aaron: Home Sweet Home!

Me: (sneezing)
Aaron: I think you are allergic to me

Me: (driving in a questionable neighborhood, car zooms down the road at our intersection) Drive it like you stold it!
Aaron: If you live around here you probably did!

Me: Dancing in the car. 
Aaron: That's all you got?

Me: (parked in the "doctor" spot at the rehab on the weekends)
Aaron: Dr. Royer
