Oh How I Love Taco Ring

I have finished my first week of work! It has been kind of a crazy week trying to get used to everything and really get going! This has been a very long week, but not in a bad way. It has been a lot of fun and it only makes me look forward to what the rest of the summer has in store!
Yesterday after work Naomi fixed supper for us. We had cornflake chicken and mashed potatoes! It was wonderful. She also makes this fruit salad that is amazing! Of course, I kind of pick out the fruits that I really want but it is still amazing!
After supper Matt and I went to a little get together with some of the youth group kids. We hung out with them for a while and played Guitar Hero and Texas Hold 'Em. I had no clue how to play poker so one of the boys in the youth group attempted to teach me. I still don't fully understand it but I'm sure I will by the end of the summer! After hanging out there for a while Matt and I went to the movie theater in Sherman to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3. It was opening night so it was pretty crazy! Some of Matt's friends had already gotten us tickets so we didn't have to worry about that but we had to wait in line and there were tons of people there. The movie was very long and it didn't start until about 12:20am so it was kind of hard to stay awake! I'm pretty sure that it was a pretty good movie, but I will have to watch it again sometime and catch all the parts that I dozed through. We got in around 3am this morning! Wes had gone to Austin for his cousin's graduation so it was about 3am when he got back too.
Since we were all pretty tired we decided that we would just come into work around noon so we could try to catch up on sleep. We had a few things to do this afternoon then we got to leave early so it was a pretty easy day! After work we went and placed membership at a gym in Denison and ran to the mall for a little while. Then we went to a Bible church in Sherman because Matt's band was playing for a Celebrate Recovery meeting. It was pretty awesome, I thought. We went straight from there back over to Wes and Naomi's house because they had supper ready for us. Naomi made TACO RING! Oh how I love taco ring. It was different from how I am used to having it but it was still amazing. Naomi's dad was here too so I got to meet him. After dinner we all just sat around and visited for a while.
I am actually going to go to bed at a decent hour tonight and I don't have a certain time that I have to wake up! Wes and Naomi and the girls are going to a graduation in the morning and they will be gone all morning. Then early afternoon Matt and I are driving to Gainesville and we are going to go to the Rangers game with mom and dad. I am really looking forward to it! I love going to see the Rangers AND its the bank tickets which makes it even better!
We have a lot of activities going on this next week at church so I'm sure I will have a lot of stories to tell in the next few days. I haven't really had any pictures to put up yet. We have some really fun things coming up though, so hopefully I will have some pictures to share soon.

Lauren,
I want the recipe for Taco Ring if it is so good. I'm glad you are having such a good time and staying so busy. I know God will use you in great ways this summer.

Ok, I enjoyed the "Taco Ring" posting but it is getting a little old. We need a new post! Don't tell me you've been busy or something!
Love you - Mom
