Dinner and a Movie

Last night hubby and I spent some quality time together starting with a wonderful dinner I made, and then settling down to enjoy a movie together. It was very nice to just have a quiet relaxing evening not worrying about anything. With the military lifestyle you know they don't come around often. There's usually always someone calling, or something that needs to be done.

This is the yummi-licious steak I made last night along with some cheddar Mashed taters, I bet you want the recipe don't you???

"Blue cheese Steak"

Two Steaks marinated in Soy Sauce 

and cooked to desired doneness

 Two Slices of bread

Tablespoon of olive oil

Tablespoon of Mrs. Dash's Original Blend seasoning

Parmesan Cheese

After steaks are cooked to desired doneness top them with the blue cheese so it will melt a bit meanwhile heat a skillet with the tablespoon of olive oil, and slice bread into 1/2 inch cubes. Put bread into skillet and sprinkle with Mrs. Dash seasoning then cook until golden brown. Once done put bread on top of steaks, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

As for the movie...

We watched this adorable movie called "The Tale of Despereaux" now if you've been reading my blog for a while you might already know this but I don't exactly watch very many movies, and when I do it's usually waaaaay after everyone else has already seen them.

I finally did it

I gave in and after 3 years I finally did it... I cut my hair. It was driving me crazy yesterday I just couldn't get it to do anything right! SO I grabbed a pair of scissors and started cutting. I'm still not so sure about it it feels weird because I'm so used to my long hair but I think I can get used to it...

Had an amazing time with my husband and friends we spent the WHOLE weekend drinking at the beach and the pool, and being lazy watching movies I love relaxing weekends like that they remind me of just how great our life here is! I also found an AMAZING BBQ restaurant here OH how I have missed those since I left Texas! As you can see from the last picture we had a little too much to drink and ended up dancing to crazy songs but it was a blast can't wait to do it again!

Pet Star

I was curious when I received an email from my mom asking if I had seen her new website background, she doesn't normally ask me that because she changes it pretty often. So I had to go see it right away, and I was so excited when I did because who's face was on the front page? Why my adorable little addition Mojo! She used my absolute favorite picture of him that I took to create her new banner! So go check out her site and see just how cute it is!

Kindred Connection: Pets

I decided to join in on this Kindred Connection because I LOOOOOOOVE my dogs and I can always find a way to talk about them! Go join in on the fun too at Windy Poplars!

1. What pets currently reside at your house?

• Flower a 4.5lb long haired Chihuahua who's 3
• Tulip a 2lb smooth coat chihuahua who's also 3
• Mojo the newest addition a 2.5lb Yorkie who's 4 months

2. What is one really strange thing your pets do?

• Flower always has to roll around in the grass like she's having a seizure when we take her outside
• Mojo hasn't really developed any crazy dog habits yet guess he's still to young
• Tulip has this weird obsession of not going to the bathroom when anyone is looking

3. Now fess up here: give us your nicknames for your pets!

• Flower we call either Chi-Chi or fatty and she comes to both 
• Mojo hasn't gotten any crazy names yet 
• Tulip my mom loves to call her Annie because she's really skinny I don't get it but she says it has something to do with a model...

4. Are your pets spoiled or not?

New Jewels

I have been really getting into jewelry lately and have been selling a lot of it. I'm very excited to finally have something to keep me busy here while hubby is away all the time. So here are the latest jewels I have been working on! I have also started shipping them, if anyone is interested!

Weekend Fun

I have been so busy I haven't been able to post, but this weekend the hubby and I had some awesome fun! We went out to dinner Friday night with a couple we met and had some drinks then we all went back to our place and played in the pool. Saturday we went to the beach and then went a friend's birthday party which was awesome.We met a lot of amazing people from all over the world and made several new friends. I'm also very excited because I have gotten a little tan! YAY me, I know I'm a dork but it's very hard for me to tan and it takes a lot of work so I'm proud.

Dear John

    

Today I thought I'd treat myself to a nice relaxing day. I woke up and spent a couple hours with the hubby before he left for work then I spent the rest of the day lounging down by the pool. I got a nice sunburn for that but oh well it was a good day. Now I am spending the evening watching "Dear John" and crying like a baby again. Nicholas Sparks almost always gets me. This movie especially hits home though because I know exactly what it feels like to meet someone only to have them torn away from you a few days later. It's very scary to not know what will happen after you've fallen in love so quickly. The first few months after he left that first time were the hardest ones of all. I wasn't even sure if it would work, or if we'd ever see each other again. We did obviously, we were just to crazy for each other. Which makes it even better, but this movie always reminds me of that. It brings back a lot of memories as well of us when we first started dating. Even down to simple little things, like there's this mailbox on his mother's street that's painted like a Texas flag, and every time I drive by it it reminds me of the first few days we spent together because we went for a long walk every night and we always passed it. I love being head over heels in love with my husband. I love feeling like nothing has changed since the day we met, we're still as crazy for each other as we were the first time we saw each other. I love that he still gives me butterflies, and tinglies and all, and most of all that just the thought of him makes me smile. So my readers I ask, is there a movie that makes you feel this way? Or one that brings back great memories?

From the Hubby

Hello ladies! 

I wanted to share with you another one of the amazing works from my hubby that kept me going while he was away, it feels so good to be back here with him in our home living our lives once again until the Navy comes calling at least! Sorry I have been a little negligent of my blog since I got home but you all know how it goes! Anyway enjoy and share the love!

For mi wifey I love you honey :) 

THE INVASION

Footsteps gentle and light go without notice and assassins persistence

Laughingly ignorant over-confidence pervades and falters vigilance

Distracted by a gentle and calming light thought to be at a distance

Then without warning a flash of blue and green metallic luster

Senses scrambled defenses failed not a chance to muster

Light footsteps grow loud now; A thunderous stampeding doom

And my defeat is ensured as is dusts' to a broom

And to the victor her spoils

A ring

A heart

And a groom

My final defeat and its to my queen a fair and just ruler she grants me dominion and made me her king!

I love you Marie thank you a thousand... million times over for the love that you've shown me and continue too for what reason I don not know? :P its a great mystery but one I am happy to leave unsolved :) MMMMMUUUUAAAAH
