It's A Cooking Kind of Night!

So lately I have had the huge urge to cook. For people who know me well know that's kind of HUGE. Going to be honest I was NOT born to cook. I'm decent but not a master chef! When I became a wife I thought I really needed to cook for my husband so he doesn't starve. I have always wanted to be an amazing cook. Maybe I won't be one now but I'm still young. I have time. 

So last night I made this chicken breast that was amazing (thanks Mindi for the recipe!) it was super easy and tastes great! The only thing make sure your chicken is completely thawed or it will take 2x as long to cook. Yup learned  that the hard way. Remember it takes time to be a good cook :) 

Tonight during work I had in my head what I wanted to make. And with the amazing help of my husband we cooked together and made a great meal together and dessert for later :) Cooking meals with my husband is the best, we have the best conversations sometimes we will bust out dancing or just cute flirting and some good laughs. These are the memories I'll look back on when were wrinkled and old. 

Anyways back to cooking, I have time to make great meals. It takes time to master things. With time I will make dinners that my kids will want seconds and maybe even thirds but again, I have time. 

Enjoy dinner at the McMurray's :) 

My husband made this amazing sauce that was probably the best thing I've ever tasted. Yup I've got a keeper 

Noodles anyone?

Final product 

There's always room for dessert :)

These turned out AMAZING!! 

5 Months of Marriage Complete!

Wow 5 months ago today I was at my reception with my new husband.  We've been married for almost half a year, that's incredible. Everyday I wish I could go back to my wedding day. It was absolutely perfect, we were showered with love with by our loved ones. Being sealed to Mickal was the easiest decision I have ever made. Yeah, marriage isn't easy, but it's worth it. We have defiantly had our ups and downs. We are still learning new things about each other. That's what marriage is. I fall in love with Mickal more and more everyday (yes even those days that he just drives me insane)

 

Sorry I know this is getting sappy. Anyways, I never got to thank all those who helped with our wedding and those who came and supported us on our big day. We are eternally grateful and lucky for all the incredible people we have in our life.

 

Happy 5 month anniversary Mickal! Can't wait to spend many more months together. Forever and Always!

A Little Introduction of Us.

I have wanted to start a blog for sometime now, but I always had the fear of what if no one cares? What if no one reads it? What happens it doesn't make since? Well I put all those fears away and decided to do it! So if you're not a fan of my blog then I apologize.

I am Brittney McMurray, I am a recently new McMurray hence the name of my blog "Life of A McMurray" I married the man of my dreams Mickal on June 12, 2013. It was seriously the best day of my life, everyday I wish that I could go back and relive that day. It was one of the best days of my life!

Background on Mickal and I, we met in High School. Yup, we are one of those high school sweethearts that made it! I also had to wait 2 years to marry my husband while he served a 2 year mission in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. That was a experience that I will never forget. I learned so much while was gone and realized my love for him and the want to be with him for eternity. He returned home November 8, 2012 (yup his year mark of being home was yesterday INSANE!) He proposed March 9, 2012 and then again married in June.

I am grateful for my life, it's not perfect. I have struggles and trials but that's what life is. Life is meant to be hard. With my husband and family by my side I know I can make through it all! Well that is pretty much my life in a nutshell! Enjoy my blog and what I share with you of the "Life of a McMurray"
