Playing Catch Up

My adorable little niece turned 3 years old on August 11th! She is such a cute girly! She had a Phineas and Ferb birthday party, (but sadly Shane and I missed it because of work.) We gave her a guitar that looks like a dog, it's pretty much awesome and I may or may not have played with it a lot before giving it to her.

Last week I'd been having a rough day, and when I got home from work I found my husband with some Diet Coke, movie tickets, and flowers! Isn't he the greatest? We saw Step Up 4, (something I'd been wanting to see for a while.) It was exactly what is expected of a 4th movie - bad acting and crap story line. HOWEVER, it's worth seeing just for the dancing, which is incredible!

Shane and I both work between 55 and 60 hours a week, and it blows! We were so spoiled when we first got married! We made great money and never worked nights or weekends, but things have changed now and sadly, we only get 2-3 nights a week together. So when we do have a night off we like to go on dates! Usually they consist of dinner at Sizzler and a movie. It's not much, but it's enough for us. (And the food at Sizzler is the best! Shane always gets the steak and endless and shrimp, while I get grilled salmon and rice. It's an amazing meal, especially for the price!!)

Shane and I love art and colors, so the other day we bought some canvases, painter's tape, and paint. We painted some awesome pictures to hang once we're in our new place. Unfortunately, the only picture I have of them right now is while we were painting them. I will post a picture of the finished products once I take one.

We get bored of the same things fast, so over the weekend we moved our family room to the bedroom and bedroom to the family room. It's awesome and we figured, why not?? If we don't do it now, we never will! 

Birthday Boy!

Shane turned 25 years old on July 28th. He didn't want to spend a lot of money going anywhere, so we did a lot of little things during the day.

He chose to open his gifts first.

I told Shane he could have whatever he wanted for breakfast. He chose to have cereal in ice cream. He wanted to eat it in the bathroom instead of in bed.

We went to some garage sales, but didn't see anything very awesome.

We went on a target run for one thing, and came home with a lot more.

We got a roll of toilet paper and taped it to our friend's door who lives a couple doors down from us. That's the only way you can toilet paper an apartment.

New chairs! They are comfy!

We had a 90 minute nerf gun fight with Shane's new guns, and then we shot at the balcony door for an hour.

It was really fun!

We decorated an entire pair of Shane's pants while we watched The Three Musketeers.

I gave Shane a mermaid tattoo.

Shane drew a copy of a painting we saw at a garage sale. It was hilarious and I wanted to buy it, but Shane said no. 10 points if you can tell what it is.

Dinner at Red Lantern, yum!!

It was raining when we got home from dinner, so we waited it out in the car.

We set up our tent in the family room and camped out in it that night.

I planned a surprise party for Shane. He had no idea and was indeed surprised when we got to my parent's house and everyone was there. It was a fun event, almost all of our closest friends were there.

We had a fun, busy, exhausting day!

Happy 25th Birthday to my handsome husband, Shane! I love him more than anything and am so happy he was brought into this world! I don't know what I would do without him!

Batman

I have salsa chicken cooking in the crockpot, and it's making the apartment smell amazing!

I went boating with my family yesterday. I did my favorite, slolum-skiing, but I also learned how to surf behind the boat! And later after, Jeffrey, my brother, and I went on the tube together. We got some good air, but we weren't able to go for too long because the bottom of the tube had a hole in it so it was flat, and it made our butts numb.

I forgot to wear sunscreen yesterday, I'm in pain today.

I'm spending today watching Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, those are the titles, right? I'm going to the newest Batman tonight at 7pm with our best friends, Sean and Melanie and Caity and Ben. I want to know what's going on tonight so I decided I should probably watch these films now.

I finally got a full time job! I am going to be an office assistant for a company called Dura-Tuff Wear Products. They sell grouser bar for bulldozers to people around the world. I start July 30th, and I am so excited!

Even though I got the new job, I am going to continue working at Sizzler part time. I love it too much to quit.

Shane's birthday is next week, and I can't wait! I have a few things planned, I hope it all goes well!

Happy Birthday!

I turned 22 on January 30, 2012. We celebrated with Shane's family earlier in the month by having a Wonder Woman party, (Shane and his family like superheroes.) We celebrated with my family by having homemade Chinese and playing Just Dance 3 on the 29th, and on the 30th Shane and I celebrated. When I got home from work Shane gave me my gifts. They were all so perfect. I got some awesome necklaces with matching earrings, a beautiful locket that has a picture of us inside, an amazing and very thoughtful blanket that is covered in pictures of us, and tons of Diet Coke, (woo hoo!) We went out to eat at the Red Lantern, and then we went home and watched Stupid, Crazy, Love. It was a perfect birthday and I loved every minute of it!
