Pizza Soup and so long to plans of Hawaii!

-
Well the Army decided Hawaii was not the place for us to live next. We are currently in Limbo awaiting a new assignment. We are hoping to find out sometime in the next few weeks where we are going next. Tess is now living in Missouri with her Oma, looking for work and getting ready to start Community College. The rest of us are just keeping busy with school and general life.
I made some Pizza Soup today... and it was super yummy! I decided to share the recipe here.

ENJOY

Pizza Soup - a delicious tomato soup.

Large can of diced or crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
Can of diced seasoned tomatoes (italian seasoned)
Can of pizza sauce
Can of tomato sauce (8 oz)
Can of tomato paste
Chicken Broth (2 cups)
Italian Seasoning (your choice how much)
1/2 tbsp sugar
garlic (again how much you like)

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 cup of shredded Italian Cheese
Pizza toppings of your choice (I used mushrooms, onion, green bell pepper, olives, pepperoni, italian sausage)

Place the first set of ingredients in the crock pot (or in a pot on the stove). Cook on low for 4 hours. Then stir in the cheese. If you like cheese pizza wait 10-15 minutes then enjoy. If you like other toppings stir them in. I let mine cook for another 2 hours to cook the veggies through.

I served this up with garlic breadsticks and the whole family enjoyed. I also made a pot for my friend with lactose intolerance and just omitted the cheese.  How do you like your pizza soup?

Finding My Voice.... and my story

Who are you?  For those of you who saw the video of me speaking last weekend, this is going to be a bit of a repeat. Yes, I did it, I actually stood up in front of a crowd and spoke. My good friends will know how rare that is for me, because I have a fear of public speaking :)  A friend of ours, named Kristin has a great foundation to support military wives. To see what she's all about check out her website  Northwest Military Wives Last weekend, they had a foundraiser to raise money for a retreat for military wives. They decided to honor me at the event and she asked me to speak.  Now, when she first invited me to speak I thought, no big deal I can talk about  Jimmy's Walk . I thought his cross-country walk to raise awareness for Veterans Mental Health issues was why she asked me to speak. I thought,sure I can talk about him. I hate speaking, but I love my husband and I do support what he is passionate about.  She said.... no Heather, we want to hear your stor

Nursing School Break...

-
and I am loving it.  Doing decent on my daily bible reading, not perfect but consistent. Deep cleaned the living room today, all those nooks and crannies and dusting no one else bothers to do.  Decorated the outside railing in front of the house, set up an online calender thing. Now for the crazy, insane part.... I have decided to register for the Hospital Hill Half Marathon in Kansas City in June.  Ever since I had my surgery I have wanted to start running and ultimately run a marathon.  Started training for a 5k about a week before nursing school started.  That was a mistake, no time to set a routine before my schedule went crazy.... Decided since I have the next 6 weeks off school (well nursing school anyway) I have time to establish a habit of running... Tied my shoes on today... and while it was a pathetic run for anyone who runs I'm proud of myself anyway.  Went out for about 15 min total with 30/30 intervals as my plan.  I made it for about 10 min at 30/30 intervals

Where we are now.... and where are we going

-
I am going to try and do better about this whole blogging thing. We are currently in Washington state, back at Fort Lewis (or JBLM) as it's called now. We have been here for a little over a year. The oldest is off at college (and some days are better than others for her). The middle kid has started to study for her AP testing and is excited and scared for Junior year next year. Our little baby, isn't so little anymore.... She is scared about next year and starting high school. She has also continue to grow her artistic talents and is turning into quite the painter..... Jim, well he has decided to retire from the Army.... That's right, this Crazy Army Life is approaching retirement. The thought of being out and on our own is a little intimidating.... Where do we go now? Most people go home... but where is home? My family is scattered to the winds... Jim's are all in Missouri. Missouri is where we consider home, but.... it's a limited practice state for me. I have
