Happenings

Long time, no blog. My bad.

The most exciting thing going on around here is that Mike was accepted to Georgia Tech! He will start in the Fall and I'm so proud of him.

Celebration beer and pizza :)

We went to our first Braves game of the season. We carpooled with this girl and her hubby- we had an impromptu tailgate, too bad I didn't take a picture haha! Unfortunately they lost to the Phillies-yuck! But we still had a good time.

My hubby is so cute :)

Sunday Mike worked so I went to church, layed out for a little, and went to see Julie and this precious little boy.

Look how tiny! He is still only like 6.5lbs and soo sweet.

Ughh I could have held him forever!

We also found out that our friends are moving back to Atlanta next month and I am so excited! I can't wait to have my running partner back! (It's only been since high school haha!)

Busy week, but what's new? Hope you're have a great week!

Meal Planning [5]

I didn't skip planning for week 4- I just never got around to posting it. So here's week 5.

Monday: My birthday- we got BBQ and ate at home and watched the end of season 8 of 24

Tuesday: Chicken and Mozzarella ravioli with sundried tomato alfredo sauce, asparagus

Wednesday: Pot roast, mashed potatoes, asparagus

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Chicken squares

When I make crockpot meals I usually get up a little earlier to get it together. However, this morning, I ran out of time and didn't have time to start the pot roast so I emailed Mike directions and he did it for me. It was delish! He did a great job :) And for Valentines Day he made filet with a marsala sauce, fresh green beans and yummy breaad. He also bought me a nice bottle of wine :) Love him!

Time to start planning next weeks meals!

My early birthday present!

Mike told me Thursday I was getting my birthday present early-on Friday. (My birthday is tomorrow, Monday) He gets really excited about surprises and couldn't wait to give it to me. I came home from work to find this beauty of a package...

Apparently we didn't have enough wrapping paper haha! Inside this box was my hand weights, a blanket and some other random things to throw the weight of it off. Then there was a smaller box wrapped in the pretty Tiffany blue paper. And insde that was this:

It's so pretty and I love it! We have a desktop computer, but the husband is usually on it doing homework or something else. So now I have my very own and I will definitely be blogging a lot more! My husband is the best!

Also Friday night, we celebrated with my family. We headed over to my parents for burgers and a bonfire. It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately I was so excited about my computer I forgot my camera ha! My sister took a few pics so I'll have to get them from her.

Overall, fabulous weekend! Now off to meal plan !

Random thoughts

I'm bored and my brain isn't functioning enough to formulate a real post so here are my thoughts in bullets:

• We got a light dusting of snow last night. Glad that's all it was- I'm over winter.
• I'm kind of obsessed with The Office right now. Mike and I have been watching it instant on Netflix every night. Love it.
• I saw bathing suits out at Target yesterday...yikes!
• Speaking of bathing suits, I've been doing a lot of ab exercises and my stomach has been soo sore! Clearly out.of.shape.
• We have friends coming to stay with us this weekend and I'm super excited! However, the switch on our vacuum is broken and I can't vacuum before they come! [and I'm sure they couldn't care less, but I care]
• I made a few Valentine's decorations and they took way more work that I anticipated, but I'll take some pics and post later.
• Girls Night next week- really excited! It's been awhile.
• I turn 25 in ten days... yuck.
• I love my husband. A lot. He keeps me laughing a majority of the time.

That is all, have a great Thursday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy 235th birthday Marines!

And to my favorite Marine...

:)

6 Years...

6 years ago today, Mike and I became "official". I would say started dating but I don't use that because we had a long distance relationship for 4 years and dates were only once or twice a year when he came home on leave.

We met freshman year of high school in band (yep that's right), but obviously didn't "date" until after graduation.

Tonight we are going to our high school's football game with 3 of my best friends (and yes we were all in band together) and our husbands/boyfriends. How appropriate we are going back to the place that started it all :)

So for a little walk down memory lane...

This was prom Jr. year- look how young we are haha!

This was our one year anniversay. He sent 12 dozen roses (yes that's 144 roses!) and Julie and Katie set them up all over the apartment for me before I got home.

The first time he came home from Japan... head been gone 7 months.

Our 2nd Christmas together. He usually came home at Christmas and we would get dressed up and go out for a really fancy dinner.

Christmas 2006 (don't mind my bangs we had been running around outside with my little cousins)

About an hour before we got engaged, at the aquarium in Okinawa!

Christmas 2007- we were engaged this year.

New Years football game, he looks thrilled.

The night before we became Mr. and Mrs. !

September 20, 2008

(I missed posting about our 2 year anniversary because I was sick all weekend. Not fun. )

I can't believe its been 6 years haha I really am starting to feel old. It's been a wild ride and I wouldn' trade it for anything.

I love you, boo :)

Beef Jerkey

Jk not really beef, it's vegan! It's the give away I won over at I Can't Believe It's Not Dead ! We broke open the box and I made Mike try some (he's not at all into NOT eating meat, so big step for him) He will probably hate me for this, but whatever the 3 people who read this have probably seen him being a lot sillier than this:

He actually didn't hate it! We ate a few pieces along with our dinner. The texture was something to get used to, but it was pretty good!

This last picture is just how he rolls...

Happy Thursday!
