Reunion, Recipes, and More

Ford and his best buddy, James Still

So we had the big class reunion and Shae’s wedding this weekend. I actually didn’t take as many pictures as I thought I would. I don’t even think I got any of the wedding. I apologize for those of you who were looking forward to them. The reunion was a good time for all the old buddies from the class of 1999 to get together. Trey only graduated with 38 people so it was rather small. I graduated with 240. We have to wait 2 more years until my 10 year reunion… I’m still a baby. I think all in all everyone had a blast and enjoyed getting together.

Recipe #2 as I promised.

CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE

1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
1 9’’ pie shell (graham cracker)

Melt 1 stick of butter. Mix with 1 cup of sugar. Beat 2 eggs with a fork. Mix. Add 1 tsp. vanilla. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped pecans. (I chop my pecans up real fine. Not a big fan of pecans). Pour into a 9’’ pie shell. Cook at 350 for 35-40 minutes.

That was fun wasn’t it??? It’s my signature pie. I actually got the recipe from my mother in-law. Trey says I make it all the time. Not only is it easy it’s delicious. If you make it you will understand why.

As you all know I am staying home with my sweet baby this year and not teaching. I do miss little kiddos though. I started tutoring again yesterday so I feel a bit connected to the teaching world. It was fun. I am tutoring a 4th grader in math.

Ford is doing well. He is growing like a weed. He is so funny how he loves to look and see what is going on….kind of nosey. Not sure where he gets that from???? He has been helping me get our house all nice and clean for the baby shower this weekend. My best friend from college had her precious baby boy several weeks early (14 to be exact) and we didn’t get to have her shower before he came so we are throwing one this weekend. I volunteered my home and now I have to get it all in order. The shower isn’t until Sunday but since I stress over the small things in life I have started cleaning and all that jazz early. I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
