So, during the wedding ceremony this weekend, the pastor asked all the married couples to take a moment and reflect upon their wedding days. The church fell silent, and you could see shy smiles, hands reaching for loved ones’ hands and whispered memories.

It was a really sweet moment. I thought back to that day,  truly one of the best days of my life. I remembered the ceremony, the kiss, the dance.

So I turned to look at Neal, and you want to know what he said to me?

“It was hot.”

Seriously. There was no “sweetie, you looked beautiful” or “it was a great day.” He couldn’t even throw me a bone and say “I love you.”

“It was hot.”

Yeah, Neal, it was July. Sue me.

**Sigh** I love my husband

(To his defense, it was hot in the church on Saturday, so I think his mind was on heat, rather than his unrelenting love for me. I’ll let this one slide….)

Anyway, despite his failed attempts at romance (haha, love ya sweetie), I do try to spruce up our weeknight meals. I’ve been getting in a rut lately, making the same ol’ same ol’. So when we had some leftover mashed potatoes, I set out to make a mash potato casserole. I looked around on allrecipes and found this fun recipe, which was like a mashed potato souffle. It’s call Potato Puff Casserole. You have to fold in egg whites and bake, which causes the casserole to puff up. It was really cool, and very good!

I served it with some pan-cooked chicken and veggies.

I probably won’t have a chance to blog tomorrow, as I’m going “shopping” at my cousin’s house for my girls’ weekend in Atlantic City, NJ! Whoo hoo! We leave Friday.  So you probably won’t hear from me for a while. I’ll post when I get back. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of fun pictures to share! Pray that I don’t gamble away all of my money!
