THE DATE

Nathan surprised me by taking me to have drinks and appetizers (maybe my favorite thing to do) at Gordon Biersch downtown then to a movie at the Fox. So fun!! We saw The Proposal. Such a great romantic comedy if you haven' t seen it. Plus, the atmosphere at The Fox is so fun for a movie. It's really laid-back and lively. I literally laughed out loud so many times in the movie and was in tears at one point. Not something that would usually happen in a "normal" theatre. It was SO fun. Such a great surprise! Sadly we left the camera at home, but we ran into some friends who took a picture of us at the Fox so hopefully I can get it from them soon.

Oops! Guess it's Thursday Wish List...& Date Night


So a day late here is what I'm wishing for this week...

1. White jeans. I know I'm a little late, but with the new fashion rules you can wear white jeans into the fall.

2. Floor covering for my bonus room that is currently rubber..thank you previous owners. :(
3. To win the raffle for a day off at my office!! It's one way our company is raising money for Light the Night ...a walk to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
My amazing husband planned a surprise date night for us tonight! I LOVE surprises!! I really can't believe how fun the anticipation has been leading up to today. All I know is what to wear and to be ready at 5:00. Only 7 hours to go!

Wednesday Wish List


So I stole the idea of Wednesday wish list from another blogger. I think it's a fun idea and more exciting than my previous post so far. So here it goes... 1. A kitchen like this one. It's oozing with character! I love how bright and airy it is while still remaining warm. Subway tile might be my favorite. 2. This super cute "branch" by urban outfitters to hold all my necklaces and earrings. 3. Somethink to upholster in this fabric. I found it on another blog...so cute and really cheap. You too can have beautiful, cheap fabric if you go here.

Birthday and Lots of Friends!!

First of all, I'm still a little frustrated with the Blog design. I can't figure out how to put a picture in our frame on the header. I also can't figure out how to add words to it. If I ever introduce this blog to the world and you know how, please tell me.

The weekend...Saturday was my amazing husband's birthday. I truly cannot think of a better thing to celebrate than God bringing Nathan into the world!! What a great, great man who constantly amazes me with his love, patience, kindness and compassion. This year we combined Nathan's birthday with a little reunion of friends that we spent time with in East Asia! We had such a GREAT time hanging out with dear friends mixed with some birthday "musts". Nathan's favorite might have been the pancakes for breakfast...his favorite. Since we are all over the place now, it's good to take a weekend to get back together and hear about everyone's life. We ate a lot, floated on the lake, skied, wakeboarded, tubed, realized how old we are after the soreness from all of the above set in. :) God is good to give us such great friends!

Homecoming!!

It seems there have been a lot of these lately, but this one was more special due to the two weeks away. Nathan returned on Friday afternoon from Raliegh where he'd been working for the last couple of weeks. It was so great to hug him!! I surprised him at the airport. There was a moment when it was almost strange to be talking to him face to face because it had been so long. I honestly don't understand how military wives do it. (Brittany, I'm in huge debt to you.) He's now in Columbia for just one night then I get to hang out with him for a full week and a half!!
