Beach Read Suggestions?

We are heading to the beach Friday, and I cannot wait! I need to tackle a case study and three finals before then but instead of studying all I can seem to do is dream of white sand, clear water, and seafood :-)

Does anyone have any good beach read suggestions? I rarely have time to read fiction books, but I'd like to buy a couple for the beach. I really like Kristin Hannah and Diane Chamberlain's books, but I've read everything they've written thus far. I'm open to trying someone new!

I like to check out the WWW posts, I just never remember to participate. I'm at Hospice 12+ hours some days, and I soak up every last minute I can in bed, then I rush like a mad woman to get ready and start it all over again!

Hope everyone has a good week,

Reciple and More

So most of my blogs are about school because well school is my life at the moment but I'll try and branch out a little more in this post ;-) Three more weeks of classes and then I get a little break! Clinical will continue, but I'm really loving Hospice so that's okay. It's hard, but very fulfilling.

We tried a Pinterest found recipe and liked it so I thought I'd share.

Dorito Cheese Chicken Casserole

3 cups cooked chicken, chopped

8 oz sour cream

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 1/2 cups salsa or 1 can Rotel

1 can of corn, drained

2 cups Mexican cheese, shredded

1 bag of nacho cheese Doritos

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Crush the entire bag of Doritos and cover the bottom of the dish. Reserve one cup of cheese. Mix together remaining ingredients in a large bow. Pour chicken mixture over the Doritos. Bake for 20 min. Top casserole with the remaining cheese and bake 5 additional minutes or until melted.

We decided it would be better with tortilla chips instead of Doritos and black beans added in, but it was really good and really easy!

Have a good weekend! It's back to doing school work for me!

School x 2

I don't think I've shared this here, but Justin has returned to school. That's right, two students under this roof. Fun times ;-)

Actually, so far, so good. He's working on a MAT degree in secondary education. I'm excited for him, I really think he will be a fantastic teacher.

I'm also excited for the day that neither of us will be students, LOL!

Now that we're both in school, our free time together is super limited. Yesterday we both did school work all day. We did walk to the "lake" in our neighborhood and watch some pretty awesome fireworks.

This weekend we are celebrating my dad's birthday! Love that man, and I'm so thankful for him!

Hope you all had a great 4th!
