something to make your mouth water, and an update

Hello Blogger friends! Its been a crazy little while since I last blogged. Last time I blogged, I was sitting in the living room of our townhouse, and now I am sitting in my living room at the new basement apartment. Thats right, the big move has come and gone. In short, I really like the new place. The only adjustment we have really faced is going from 2.5 bathrooms, to 1. Other than that, things are great here. We moved on a Saturday with the help of great family and friends, and my saturday night I was unpacked, and my Christmas tree was up and decorated. :-D Work is going well for both of us. Rob was in a Mortgage training for the past two weeks, while I have just been busy at my job. Im excited for Christmas to be here, It will be fun to celebrate "Our First Christmas" Im pretty excited about it. On the other hand, having christmas pass, means the new year starts, and shortly after the new year I am going under the knife. I am super nervous. I have to get my gaullbladder out. I know it is a minor surgery, but I have never had anything like this done, I have not even had stitches...EVER. Needless to say, the panic is starting to kick in. On a happier note, I wanted to share a new recipie I got from one of Rob's Coworkers with all you blog buddies! They are super yummy chocolate Oreo Balls. They were really easy to make.

All it calls for is a package of Oreo's, an 8oz pkg of cream cheese, and a package of Andie's mint chips. You use a food processor to chop the oreos. then you add in the creemcheese, mix them well. Then you roll them out into balls and let them sit in the fridge until they are a little harder. Then you melt the chips, dip the balls in, and let them set on some wax paper. they are wonderful. I even took some pictures for ya ( a little documentation of my journey.) ENJOY
