So I thought "Wow! I can make those! And I bet I can even use fat free cream cheese and turkey bacon..." I was going to Target that afternoon for a few things so I picked up three simple ingredients along with my other purchases, Jalapenos, Cream Cheese, and Turkey Bacon. I cannot tell y'all how excited I felt driving home! I was thinking "Ouuhh...my husband is going to LOVE these and they'll be (somewhat) healthy!!"
As soon as I got home I immediately started on my project. I sliced those jalapenos like nobody's business. I took my spoon and "de-seeded" them and then I proceded to fill them with cream cheese and wrap with bacon. I even took step by step pictures y'all!! I popped them in the oven for about 25 minutes at 350 and just waited with anticipation while my little cheesy poppers baked in the oven. I noticed then that my fingers were starting to burn a little while I was checking my email/facebook/ etc...(This should have clued me in...but no...) but I didn't really think anything of it.
After I took them out of the oven I decided I would go to the pool for a little while. Well, at the pool my fingers started burning with fury! And I even had them in the water!! This was only the beginning of a LONG 12 hours that were the WORST OF MY LIFE!! I literally ran home from the pool and tore my house apart looking for this spray aloe vera with lidocaine. It didn't help. So then I got a bowl with ice water. It didn't help. Nothing was helping!! The burning was the worst pain I have ever felt. All the finger tips on my left hand felt like they were on fire!! I finally googled "jalapeno skin burn" and there were 17,600 results. Ha. So after a long, long night of soaking my hand in milk, baking soda, vinegar, ice cream, cool whip, lime juice ( I tried it all) the pain FINALLY went away at 4am.
Now, I've never had kids...but I'm pretty sure this pain was worse than labor... : ) The moral of this story is WEAR GLOVES WHEN YOU CUT JALAPENOS!! You would think a Texas girl would know that...
Oh, and my little "cheesy poppers"...terrible. They are so stinkin hot you can't enjoy them and next time (if there will ever be one) I will use real bacon...ugh...
and...after!! 
actually have a place for our table...yes!!
the joy of two sinks...
I am hesitant to put this picture...but this is our office...aka the crazy room...its not quite as settled as the rest of the place...
and finally...Chris's beloved patio set...
So...there's our new place! We are really glad to have the extra space and finally be done moving!! Now we can actually start enjoying summer!! (Which is fitting since today is the "official first day of summer")
After breakfast Chris had to go to class and I went to do a little tutoring. When we got home we worked on creating this:
This is truly the best cake of all time. Chocolate Sheet Cake. And surprisingly, my husband who doesn't care for too many sweet things, LOVES this cake. Paula Deen would be proud because between the cake and homemade icing this cake requires 3 sticks of butter.
The finished product.
For dinner we had Chicken and Rice which is another one of Chris's favorite foods. We ate dinner with his family (who had the exact same meal) on the Web Cam! I know, we're nerds...but at least we are nerds who love our family!
Happy Birthday Christopher!!
