Bread Machine

So yesterday I got a bread machine. Happiest day of my life!

I opened it up I was so excited and read how it worked and then I threw stuff in there (following a recipe of course)  and 3 hours later....BREAD!

Ohmigoodness how did I not buy one before?! I now can be a "house wife" without the work! Genius!

Well the bread tastes delicious.  I'm having a blast, I'm going to try all sorts of bread recipes! My husband is loving having fresh homemade bread.  Life is pretty awesome right now!
