A Miss America Moment

Today I attempted to make my favorite Taco Soup. It is cold, snowy and wet outside and I thought our sick family needed a little taste of home. So, I attempted to make Taco Soup, attempted. They don't have the beans I needed, the taco seasoning tasted weird, there are no green chilis, the canned corn was crunchy and the tortillas had little seeds in them. It was not my best work and I was not impressed.

As we sat at the dinner table, I told Jim everything under the sun I missed about the good ole US of A. I don't complain often, and I really do love Cambridge, but I made a list a mile long.

"In short," I told my husband. "I'm really just having a miss America moment."

Without missing a beat, that incredibly awesome husband of mine says, "I agree, you're beautiful. You are looking like Miss America today."

Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE that man!

Below is a video of him trying to teach T to crawl. The video was taken a few days ago. Right now Jim is in quarantine (swine flu!) and can't be anywhere near T. It's driving them both crazy. Everytime Talmage sees his dad he starts bouncing up and down and smiling. He loves him too!

  2. I agree with Jim - you are beautiful, and I am quite sure that your delicious taco soup was equally amazing! I promise to make you whatever Mexican food you like when you get back!
