New Favorite...

David and I purchased a grill this spring! I pretty much use it all the time now (I mean...David pretty much uses it all the time now)! But its great, here is a new favorite...

Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

Chicken:

2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 teaspoon salt

Salsa:

1 cup chopped plum tomato (about 2)

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 avocado, peeled and finely chopped

1. To prepare chicken, combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; toss and let stand 3 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add chicken to grill; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done.

2. To prepare salsa, combine tomato and next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a medium bowl. Add avocado; stir gently to combine. Serve salsa over chicken. Yield: 4 servings

SOOO....lets just say that I took almost a 6 month break from the blogging world (not on purpose, but life just seemed really full) and I didn't really have much to blog about because I kept forgetting to bring a camera. All that to say, I am not even going to try and catchup for these past few months and start fresh with this post. :-)

Before I jump into the current update of what David and I have been up to, I will give you a little background into our lives. David started going to school full time in January and will finish school this December. With David being in school, life is very busy and our schedule is constantly changing. I have realized I really do not like change very much and that it takes me a good 6 weeks before I can adjust to the "new" schedule. Yet it seems like our schedules are changing every 2 months. :-) This being said I have about 2 weeks were I am in a routine :-), someone told me the other day..."welcome to motherhood! God is just preparing you for that". I am so aware of God's grace and provision in this season though and so blessed that I get to walk it out with my man!

Now the current update: David finished his semester this past Wednesday! YAY, I am so proud of how hard he studied and applied himself this semester. (Love, thank you for your faithfulness and diligence though this season! I so love and respect you.) So to celebrate before his summer semester starts (2 weeks) we took an over nighter to Baltimore. We had such a relaxing and refreshing time together. It was so wonderful to spend the whole weekend with my love!

God is so kind to provide David a paid internship this summer! David will begin working at Morgan Stanley next Monday. He is so excited to get into the business world!
Also on Sunday, Natalie was down in Baltimore for a conference so we got to hangout with her and some of our dear friends from Cleveland. We had such a great time hanging with everyone!Oh boy, Natalie do I miss you! I love you!

Everyone out to dinner Sunday night!

Megan and I

Miss you girls!

That's all for now. Hopefully I will be around a little more these days!
