This morning it came across my newsfeed that CMT was playing a new video by the Eli Young Band called "Even If It Breaks Your Heart." I love music, especially country music and if you know me, I love to know all of the words to every song.
Somehow, I relate every song I hear to a memory or to a time period in my life and when it plays, I begin daydreaming. Sometimes a song brings me back to a good time and sometimes a not so good time but no matter what, I remind myself that the time, place, or memory that a song brings me back to has led me to where I am now.
The new Eli Young Band song states
"Some dreams stay with you forever,
drag you around but bring you back to where you were.
Some dreams keep on gettin better,
gotta keep believin if you wanna know for sure."
This is one of the truest things that I think anyone can relate to.
Some dreams do stay with you forever, one example for me is a wedding. Yes, I am married, but I still have this dream of my dream wedding that I began planning as a little girl. I know it is not realistic due to the price it would have cost, but I still can see that picture in my head. When I hear Dusty Drake's song "Say Yes" or Tracy Byrd's "Keeper of the Stars" it always brings me back to that dream.
No matter what I dreamed or wanted in my dreams, I am so thankful that I am where I am today. All of the wishes, hopes, and dreams has led me to where I am today.
Always dream. Dreams help you to keep believing and to keep goals.

Cooking Up A Storm
I love being married to my best friend and being able to cook supper most nights of the week makes for great conversation, especially since I love nutrition and cooking! So this past week I made something called "Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas." Can you say D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S?
I took three boneless skinless chicken breasts and sliced them up into bite size pieces and placed them in a large skillet with a can of tomatoes that were labeled as "Tex Mex Style." Great choice! After this, I took whole wheat tortillas and laid them on a plate and dipped the chicken and tomato mixture onto the tortillas and rolled them up and placed five of them into a large glass casserole dish. I then combined a 8-ounce sour cream and a can of cream of chicken soup in a bowl and poured the mixture over the enchiladas. Finally, I topped the dish with two cups of cheddar and mozzarella shredded cheese. I baked this at 350F for 30 minutes and then bon appetite! It was like my husband and my taste buds rejoiced in the flavorful, juicy chicken, slightly spicy tomatoes, and cheesy, creamy, simple meal! Even eating this as leftovers (which I am not a fan of most dished reheated) was a family favorite!
On another note: my sweet Zoe weighs 12.5 pounds now! She is growing too fast!
