Last Week of Freedom

Bow-Tie Tomato Chicken Pasta
On Sunday we got home starving and decided to use what we already had to make a simple dinner. So we cooked mini bow-tie pasta and chicken. We used sun dried tomato alfredo sauce and cut up tomatoes and topped it all with parmesan cheese :) It was delicious and hit the spot!

An Evening Walk
I had gotten very little sleep this weekend (but oh so worth it) so instead of doing our Sunday walk in the morning we did it after our dinner. We walked through campus and I showed Leanna where some of my classes are and where the library is. It was a good half hour walk, but at least we're continuing to make an effort to get out there!

School starts today... it's gonna be hectic!

Riding Against the Wind

Went to volleyball tonight, got to play 2 games (somewhat successfully for my no talent at sports). Came home and just really needed to be on my own, so I got my iPod and bike and went on campus.

It felt amazing being on my bike again (but I really need to put air in my tires...). I rode for only 20 minutes or so because I was paranoid about my tires and I have an early morning tomorrow. But riding did the trick :) Getting my heart pumping and being outside helped me to realize why I wasn't feeling that great tonight and maybe by recognizing why, I can figure out how to prevent/overcome it.

Chicken Wraps and Chicken & Tortellini Salad

Our red, white, and green meal :)

We used recipes from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and were successful in making a delicious meal with leftovers for tomorrow! :)

The prep consisted of cooking the tortellini and chicken, and cutting the veggies.

A simple meal but I'm a big fan of the tortellini salad. It was chicken chunks, tomato, green pepper, tortellini, and Italian salad dressing.
