The Recreation of Perfection

Some people think when they go to a restaurant what they are eating can NOT be recreated. At least that's what I think. If you know me well enough, you know that I am NOT the cook in the house!! Chase is an amazing husband who can cook and he does it very well... not gonna lie sometimes I feel like my house is a restaurant! There is a little "home town" mexican place that I have now decided is my "Mi Cocina away from home". I thought I was calling this place the wrong name for the longest time but I figured it out... I'm not! Anyways, I fell in love with these nachos called "Cancun Nachos" a delightful and yet Perfect dish. I had been raving about this place since we last were there to some of my friends and family and this past weekend we took two of them there. Here is the picture of the nachos at the place!

So Cara said "We can make this" and so we had a bright idea to try and see if we could accomplish that goal. Today we recreated the nachos and here is our creation...

 

I think we have accomplished the recreation of the perfection! We call ours "Cha Cha Nachos" since it's from the restaurant Cha Cha's who came up with the idea in the first place!! Thank You Mr. Cha Cha! It's truly a Delicious dish.

San Antonio here we come!!

So... Chase got a job in San Antonio and has been living down there for 2 weeks now. He has been living out of a bag with a few clothes. Graciously, Megan and Tim allowed him to crash in their second bedroom for a week then M'Rhea allowed him to stay at her place while she was out of town. Both houses and people will be Greatly appreciated for a long time!!

I have been living with my mom since he left good ole' College Station and have been packing our house we were living in so I could move it down to our new place.

Friday I left with a good friend of Chase's to move our things down to San Antonio! :) He knew how to drive a truck (Uhaul) and has been a HUGE help in moving heavy furniture along with some other guys! Thank to ALL who have helped us in the process (either... cleaning, packing, praying, or moral support)!!!!
Saturday was Moving Day!! We started at 10:00 (signed papers, got keys, and swipe card for the gym) Little did we remember that our Apt is on the 3RD FLOOR!!!! Cara came down with a small load in her car that morning to help as well. The guys took heavy items minus the lazy boy recliner chair which stayed out with the other boxes to be used as the "rest" spot. They unloaded the Uhaul out on the curb in the shade while Cara and I moved boxes. We took the truck back in time (had to be back by 12:15 on Saturday) and went back to move the rest of our things. The furniture consisted of a bed, dresser, entertainment center, lazy boy chair, deep freezer, mini fridge, and coffee table. The rest were boxes. We finished by 1:30. Not too bad considering we counted 40 stairs total to our place! (That's just going up, so do the math and we probably each went up and down about 15 times. So that's about 600 steps for just one person!!!) That's more steps than I do in my daily routine. We were EXHAUSTED!!! We changed into swimming suits and went to the pool!! Our complex has two to choose from and the one that's closest to us we can see part of it from our patio. Once we got to the pool it was Rest and Relaxation Time! :)  We must have moved in on a good day because the complex was doing a "Free Snow Cone" that day and they came and served us at the pool. Man I like this place already!!! Too bad I had to leave on Sunday to go back to College Station!

Thank You Dan and Cara for making the move so much easier for us, for going up 600 steps each to move our things, all the FUN times we had while being there, driving, and for being GREAT FRIENDS!!!! You are loved :)
