He turned 24!

As promised, though late, here is the post about Adam's birthday which was December 9. Unfortunately for him, it always falls right in the middle of exam week, so nothing too exciting happens. But this year, a few good friends were able to tear themselves away from the excitement that is finals to join us for a birthday dinner! On a recommendation, we went to Marrakesh. It's a Moroccan food place. It was a lot of fun, and good food. When we first got there, we were the only ones, so it was nice and quaint. The deal was it was a set price per person and they just brought stuff out. I think it was 7 courses or something ridiculous like that! And there was no utensils. They didn't even give you a napkin, just a bath towel!!! You really have to like the ones that your with, because everyone is just sticking their hands in. The food was different, but excellent. Of course, the company was what made it a special day for Adam! Thanks to David, Johnny, Jake and Leslie for taking time out to go with us! Here are some pictures!


Smiles for everyone!



The guy that looked like he should have a monkey on his shoulder was pouring our green tea!






After dinner we went back up to school, because I had made birthday cupcakes for Adam, and Leslie ( Her birthday was the 11th) So we went up and passed them around his studio, and sang to them both! I think everyone enjoyed them! Because they were ALL gone, I didn't even get one!



Everyone looked happy with the cupcakes!


AW, my husband, and the BIRTHDAY boy!!!

Out of Touch

I love it when I am so out of touch with what is going on outside, that I don't even know it's snowing! But I love it even more when I do find out, by letting the dogs out, that not only is is snowing, it's been snowing for a while. To my suprise I just let the dogs and there was a nice coating outside! Just thought that I would share.:) Adam's review is TOMORROW YEY!

past due!

As I sit here sharing a bowl of popcorn with my beloved 4 legged babies, I realized that I hadn't posted in a while. A lot has gone on, such as a 24th birthday for my "old" husband, and a few trips to school for social gatherings. Adam has been really busy at school, seeing that his finaly review is on Wednesday! He has had the good computer for blogging, as well as the little device to remove pictures from my camera. So this is a short update, but I'll update with pictures from his birthday maybe on Thursday or Friday! Until then, have a good week!! It's ALMOST Christmas time!

Better late than never!

So I ( Adam) finally took the pictures off my camera. So here are a few from the first snow, and Thanksgiving. In no particular order!


This is at like 6 AM, and it's just starting to fall!


When I got home from work, this is the bench in our yard!!! Not a whole lot but it was still there!:)



And some Thanksgiving ones!

Adam preparing the Sweet Potatoes!!



Our table. I can't wait to have a dining room table!! Though I did enjoy using our China for the third time!!



And our turkey! It was SOOO BROWN, Adam did a GREAT job! Yummy!


I will not bore you with all the other food pictures that I have of our home made Thanksgiving, but it was probably the best one yet, every year we get a little better with making food.


The boys were going at it. We did a buffet style in the sun room on the table out there. We didn't have enough room for everything in the kitchen!

I'll leave you with this picture. You see how much my husband loves our dog, and how much our dog love him? It's sick really! But I love them both!:)

Oh my...

I have to brag on my husband for a second! Yesterday I had to take my car to have the brakes fixed and we couldn't go an pick it up until like 10 PM. So we went to pick it up, and well it took me a while to get going. So Adam waited for me to get going before he left the parking lot. But then stupid me was trying to take the parking brake off ( I NEVER put it on) and I popped the hood. So I had to get out and close it and there was frost on my windows. Needless to say, when I turned on my lights Adam left. But he soon realized that I wasn't behind him. So he pulled over a few streets down, then waited for me to pass him. I didn't know this, but was suprised when he pulled into the garage behind me. I get out and ask..." How on Earth did I beat you home?" He said..." I pulled over to wait for you, I didn't want you to get car jacked!!!" haha isn't that SWEET?!?!?! lol... I thought it was funny! Anyway, I thought that I would let you all know how sweet he is!!

oh yeah, and he bought me tickets to see Legally Blonde the Musical on Friday night!!! I've been wanting to see it since it came out!!! YEY!!! He's the best! Love you honey:)

Merry Christmas to us!

Adam and I decided that we would buy a mutual Christmas gift, then have a set amount to other gifts. So after thinking long and hard about it, we decided we wanted a home theater system! We watch TV, it's what we do. We have two DVR's for our tv down stairs and one for our upstairs, becuase we wanted to watch more than we were able to record!!! We have a netflix subscription which we also watch regularly. So we bought ourselves a home theater system today! It's a Samsung system that has a Blu-ray player. We are sooo excited, netflix has blu-ray disks for $1 extra a month. Can it get any better than that?
Alright, so I have to admit, that our buying this was a little selfish, becuase it's really thrown the dogs and cat for a loop. When we were testing the speakers, Bailey just about freaked out. Which should have been expected since she is so afraid of thunder, it's kinda the same thing. Siren also didn't like the noise, but she is more disturbed becuase there is a speak on top of what used to be her spot, the cable box! So even though we feel sorry for our "Kids", they will get used to it. We love it to much to take back!:)

Thanksgiving was a blast. Almost everything we made was homemade, from homemade dinner rolls, to cheesecake. Everyone had a great time and the food was great. I'll post pictures whenever I get a chance!! Hope everyone had a great break from school, and had some quality time with family!!!

It's so close!

Thanksgiving, it's right around the corner, which is a good thing. I'm tired of going to the store!:) I feel like that's the only place that I've been in the last week! Though Friday night, Adam and I had a date night. We went to this resturant called Distrito, it's a tapas place right by campus. The chef was actually on Iron Chef America against Bobby Flay, and he WON! Though I have not seen this challenge which kinda suprises me, we didn't even know he was on the show until after we got our reservations. But the food was amazing. After that we headed over to see new new Bond movie. Only knowing that we HAD to see Twilight this coming weekend. But it was a lot of fun:) Sunday night we went over to a friends for a Thanksgiving Dinner. A guy in Adam's class and his wife hosted it, and it was GREAT. I was excited becuase I wanted a Turkey dinner, but I knew I had to wait until Thursday, lucky for me we had one early.

I think I finally have EVERYTHING we need for Turkey Day! Laura will be here tomorrow night, and Eli, a friend from school ( Actually went to A&M also) will be coming to join us in a day of eating and football. Hopefully, I can stay awake for football, that might be asking to much though!!

Oh yes, and my Christmas cards arrived yesterday, now I have to look into who is going to be lucky enough to get one;) Just kidding, I already knew who does!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!:)
