Fun in Oviedo

Fun in Oviedo

Florence and I have been getting acquainted with our new city. We’ve been to the Seminole County Library each week, we checked out Gatorland, and went to the splash pad at Oviedo on the Park. Fun times! I’m looking forward to moving into our new house soon – we close in 21 days. It will be here soon! On weekends we have been to two nearby beaches (Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral National Seashore) and Downtown Disney. I’ve really enjoyed having the time to cook dinner every night! Tonight we are having baked ham with pierogies, corn, and salad. Yum!

Oviedo Welcome

New Adventure – Big Move

New Adventure – Big Move

I can’t believe it! We are moving again! I’m not sure if any of you have ever made a “big” move? Back in 2010 we packed up our house (thanks to RELO) and moved across the country from Ohio to Texas. Well, we are doing it again! My family of 3 will be packing up in about a week and heading out to Florida. The best news of all is that I will get to stay at home with my 3-year-old!! I will enjoy my break from teaching for a bit. I am so excited!

As we prep for our packing and moving, I made a very easy list of meals that will get us to moving day… and empty out our refrigerator and freezer!
Today: Tacos with chips and salsa
Friday: Hamburgers with corn on the cob & grilled potatoes
Saturday: BBQ with the neighbors
Sunday: Salisbury Steak with mushrooms & mashed potatoes
Monday: Salmon with quinoa and brown rice, & spinach salad
Tuesday: Beef stroganoff in the crock pot over buttered noodles, & spinach salad
Wednesday: Pasta with chicken and veggies
Thursday: Crock pot taco soup with black beans
Friday: Chicken patty sandwiches with macaroni and cheese
Saturday: Fish sticks & home-made tartar sauce, baked potatoes

Who knew I had so much food in the freezer? My new goal for the new home will be to buy what I need and use it. There’s no need to keep so much food in reserve – I would definitely save money by using everything I buy.
