Gedunks!
A few of our friends requested this family recipe from us ~ so I thought I would post it :) They are not at all healthy! Enjoy!
Gedunks
1 (14 oz) bag carmels (I've looked for fat free with no luck ~ let me know if you find them!)
2/3 C. evaporated milk ( I use fat free)
1 (18.5) package German chocolate cake mix
3/4 C. butter
1 C. chopped nuts (optional ~ we leave them out!)
1 (6 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Combine carmels and 1/2 C. milk in top of double boiler. Cook stirring constantly until completely melted. Remove double boiler from heat; combine cake mix and remaining 1/3 C evaporated milk and butter, mixing with electric mixer until dough holds together; stir in nuts (if desired). Press cake into greased 13 by 9 by 2 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes.
Sprinkle chocolate morsels over crust. Pour caramel mix over chocolate morsels. Crumble remaining cake mix over top. Bake 15 to 18 minutes. Cool. Chill 30 minutes. Yield: 5 dozen.

Classroom Here She Comes!
Since word came I had a teaching position, our life has consisted of classroom decorations, cutting out laminating & much more! It has been a busy, busy few weeks!
If you didn't know ~ I got hired in late June to teach 4th grade Language Arts & Social Studies in Hearne which is a small community just outside of Bryan/College Station.
My room has been transformed from a blank space with furniture stacked up in one corner ~ to Mrs. Warren's 4th grade Language Arts & Social Studies Classroom!
It is finished! Yay! With lots of love and hardwork from Jon, both our sweet Mommas (Momma Bozeman & Momma Warren), my brother and sister-in-law, Tim & Casey, and my Daddy ~ It is finally finished! We had many many workdays ~ Moms made pillows and curtains, Tim, a wonderful craftsman & my engineer brother, created and built my loft, Mom & Dad cleaned my classrrom, as well as, moved, stained & polyurethaned the loft & Jon cut out more than his fair share of laminating! It has really been a family effort ~ of which I am so incredibly grateful!! Thank you all for your help! I could not have pulled it all together without you!
I will post pictures soon!
Now for the planning ~ I get kids next week! Yay!

Fredricksburg
Donkeys, horses, baby goats...no usually words you would associate with Megan & vacation. However, this next tale includes them all ~ as we escaped for a few days this past week to Fredricksburg!
We decided when I found out that I going to have a teaching position this fall (for which we are exceedingly thankful to the Lord!) ~ we would try to get away together before the school year started. So, we did ~ It was incredibly fun and relaxing!
Here are some pictures of our time there!

Fourth with Friends!
We enjoyed our Fourth of July! We stayed here in College Station & spent some time with our friends ~ Laura & Jon, and then later in the day, our friends ~ Audra & Adam. We didn't remember to pull out our camera when we were with Laura & Jon ~ but hopefully we will remember next time!
Audra & I
Audra & Adam
We enjoyed fireworks up at the George Bush Library & Museum. They had historical characters all dressed up and mingling with the crowd. We met Uncle Sam, Martha Washington, and Darth Vader. I'm really not sure why Darth Vader was there, but the boys were very excited they were!
Audra made a her very first homemade cake! She made it very yummy and cute! It was decorated for the Fourth with stars & stripes!

A Blue Bell Kinda Fun
On our beautiful Tuesday afternoon, We took a quick roadtrip down to Brenham to visit the Blue Bell Factory. We have been wanting to go for quite some time, and decided before life picks up & gets really busy this fall we should have some fun!
We walked around, touched the statues, took the tour & ate samples! The tour was very fun to see the behind the scenes information ~ We kinda felt like we were on How It's Made. (It's one of our favorite shows!) Although, we really wanted more info from the tour! We had questions which were thankfully subdued by cookies 'n cream & southern blackberry cobbler ice cream!
We enjoyed our day off! It's such a blessing to have time to share and enjoy together!
