Fiesta chicken packet

This is a recipe I found a while ago and like to make a couple times a month. It is extremely easy to cut down for just one person. This is the recipe I use when I am cooking just for me.
1/2 cup instant rice
1 cup hot water
1 tbs taco seasoning
Sliced Red bell pepper
Sliced Onion
Chicken breast
Salsa
Cheese

Mix the rice, water, and seasoning in a bowl. Place foil in a small casserole dish, leave enough foil on the sides to be able to fold. Place the chicken on the foil. Pour the rice mixture over it. Top with the remaining ingredients. Cook for 30-40 minutes on 400.

I ate it before I remember that I needed to take a picture ;)

Day Off

The first Friday of May I took a personal day off. It was exactly what I needed to give me energy to get through the last three weeks of school. I had a great day of relaxing and spending time with some friends. I had lunch with a friend and her two precious boys. Then I met up with another friend at Coco Blow. It is Tulsa's first blow out bar. It was so relaxing and your hair looks great when you leave! The day off was perfect!

Wedding Shower

Later in April my mom and I attended the first of many wedding showers for my soon to be sister in law. It was a fun day celebrating Erin.
My mom and I are also busy planning a couple's shower for Matt & Erin. I am having a lot of fun planning it. I'm thankful for pinterest and all the great ideas! I can't wait until the actual shower so we can put all of our ideas to work!

Girls Weekend

I had the wonderful privilege of being able to go away on a girls weekend with two of my sweet friends. My mentor at church allowed us to use her lake house. We are so thankful that she opened her home for our weekend. It was a nice time catching up and also just relaxing! We spend time eating, playing cards, reading, and visiting. I hope we can do this again next year!

April Women's Retreat

The first weekend of April I had the amazing opportunity to attend my church's Women's Retreat. The retreat was exactly what I needed. At the retreat I was reminded to keep believing in the INCREDIBLE plan God has for my life! I just need to keep my eyes on Him.

Absent lately

I feel like the month of April really didn't exist since it went by so fast! I was extremely busy at work due to state testing. I am so thankful that is over with for this year. Now I can get back to truly teaching and not just prepping for the state test.
I am going to spend some time this weekend putting up some catch up posts. I hope you all enjoy :)
