Adventures in cooking

Paul has been doing tremendous at his new cooking duties although I'm sure he hopes the doctor takes me off bedrest. I don't have the heart to tell him that even if the doctor takes me off bedrest I may still be told not to cook, clean, etc.

Friday night Paul made chicken breasts, corn, sugar snap peas, and crescent rolls. Watching him trying to make a crescent roll was hilarious! He comes into the living room holding this roll of dough and unsure what to do with it. I asked if he read the directions and he admitted that he did not and had already thrown away the container. lol

Saturday I woke up with severe stomach pain. Bad enough that we went to the ER to make sure I wasn't in labor. Everything with the baby looked good and the doctor felt it was a GI issue. I'm sure it had nothing to do with Fridays dinner....I slept most of the day on Saturday and felt better by mid-afternoon.

Today required Paul to go grocery shopping. Now Paul has come with me when I've grocery shopped and he's stopped to pick up a few things, but he hasn't ever done a full on grocery shop by himself. I made him a list and off he went. It seemed as if several hours went by, along with a couple phone calls with questions, before I got a text that said he was finished with my list and now freelancing. Hmmmmm...as its Sunday and I know Paul loves football I planned an easy dinner for him...ham bbq. Deli ham, bbq sauce, butter, and buns.

Tomorrow though is pot roast in the crock pot meaning Paul will have to start the crock pot before he leaves for work.

Really though Paul has been amazing. I don't know what I did to get blessed with such an amazing husband, but I truly am lucky. He's taken everything in stride and without complaint. And we have had quite the stressors in our time together...I lost my job, moved to GA to live with him, couldn't find a full time job, we moved to Boston, bought a house, had several months of me being unemployed again, got married, had a miscarriage, and now bedrest. But through it all we've leaned on each other and taken everything with good attitudes and gratitude for the blessings we have. I couldn't imagine my life without Paul and there isn't anyone else I'd rather share my life with.
