Catching up...

It's been awhile since I last updated. It is time for me to catch up. A lot has happened recently and I will fill you in on bits and pieces of it.

Britt got his Diploma in the mail! It was a happy day! :) He has been done with school since December but it felt so official to receive that piece of paper. The little piece of cardstock cost a pretty penny. ;)

The weekend before last Britt and I had a "Get-a-way" weekend just spending time together. We decided to get a hotel room for one night in Bricktown and it was so much fun!

Here is Britt in the complementary shuttle which happened to be a limo! It was so much fun!

And here I am in the limo!

We went to Zio's for dinner and afterwards we waiting outside for the limo. It was a rainy cold day but we didn't care and it didn't stop is from having a great weekend!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This past weekend we celebrated Easter together. Saturday we spent the day just hanging out together and having a GREAT time! Sunday we went to church with my parents, lunch at their house and then to our church that night. It was a great time with family and friends celebrating what Jesus did on the cross and the glorious resurrection!

Britt bought me a purse and an umbrella for my "Easter Gift". He surprised me and it was so much fun! I love them both!

I decided that Britt needed a "Easter Gift" too and so we went to a local consignment shop and found him two polos and a pair of shorts! We also went to Academy to get him a pair of new shoes because his other ones were just too worn out. He walks 18 miles a day and that can make a person go through shoes so fast!

We also got some plants for our patio! I love them and I am also hoping to get a hanging tomato plant! Thought it might be fun to try and I LOVE home-grown tomatoes! *Yum!* We are really enjoying our flowers though and the bright color they bring to our patio. I just love spring/summer!

Saturday night we relaxed and ate some yummy homemade pizza and drank some Raspberry Ice Tea. It was a great day having fun and spending time together. I love making memories like that together and can't wait to make many more!

I hope that all of you had a happy easter with family and friends!

.Yesterday.

...I went to work. It was Monday but it was a good Monday. I slept well the night before, had a good hair day and the sun was shinning promising a beautiful day!

After work I met Britt at home and we prepared to go on a date. Tea Cafe on campus corner was the destination and delicious food and some of the best tea around was the result!

Tea Cafe is located in Norman Oklahoma and they have two locations. Britt and I went to the Campus Corner Location but there is also a Tea Cafe on 1241 Alameda Street in Norman.

I had the "Ice Peach Green Tea with Boba" (aka - little tapioca balls that are really good!) And Britt had the "Ice Milk, Carmel Black Tea with Boba". There are so many options to choose from it will make your head spin; but don't worry, you can ALWAYS come back and you will because it is that good!


After eating our Chinese food and drinking the wonderful tea we headed to Salvation Army to find "something". You never know what you are going to get at Salvation Army Stores. However, they were closed, so we decided to try "Daisy Exchange" a consignment shop that I love and alas, they were closed as well. Instead we headed to Good Will. They were open! We had a fun time looking even though we did not find anything. Sometimes you score big and sometimes you don't. Just be patient and you will eventually find the prize! ;)

After that we went to my mom and dads house to watch the latest episode of 24! It was epic! This season started out a little rough but Jack Bauer is back in full form and ready to kick some major butt! I love it!

That was my Monday. It was good, relaxing and full of lots of laughs with My Love! Can't really ask for a lot more!

Tonight after work I am going home to make delicious Chicken Parmesan and then we are off to Community Group.

Happy Tuesday to you all!

Double Date

  

Britt and I went out with his Best friend Todd and the girl he is dating, Katie. We had such a great time together! Here is a small (Or maybe not so small - I got a little "photo happy") photo log. 

On our way to get Todd and Katie!

Britt Driving

Stoplight! Photo opt! Kind of cut myself out. 

So, I decided to take another of me!

Another Stop light. 

Waiting on Todd at the dorms.

Still waiting and of course we have to have a kissy pic!

Here is Todd! (fyi - today is Todd's Birthday so if you know him you should tell him "Happy Birthday!")

Todd going to get, and coming back with Katie!

Todd and Katie at Tedd's!

Britt and I at Tedd's!

After Tedds we went to the Bricktown Candy Co. We love this place and wanted to show it to Todd and Katie. It was a lot of fun picking out candy, looking around and eating yummy Geloto!

LOTS of Candy!

LOTS of Soda!

Todd and Katie split "Birthday Cake Geloto" 

Britt and I got Mango and Coconut 

Thanks Todd and Katie! We had such a great time with you! 

- The Weekend -

Friday Evening:


Britt and I went out to dinner with Britts parents and younger brother. We went to Bricktown and had some good Mexican Food at Chelions. From there went to the Bricktown Candy Co.  I love that place!

After leaving Britt's parents house we went over to some friends house to talk, catch up and soak in the hot tub. It was a lot of fun. In fact, we were there until 2:30am and the time flew!

Saturday:

We slept in. Who wouldn't after going to be at 3am. After getting up and around we packed a picnic lunch and went to Lake Hefner for a fun date! It was a little chillier out that we expected but we had a great time none the less and made wonderful memories. After the Lake we came up, cleaned up a bit and then went out to the mall and grabbed some dinner. We also rented a Movie (Although it was VERY sad) we had a great time and a fun day together!

Sunday:

We woke up and started cleaning and cooking because we were having company for lunch! We had:

* French dip Sandwiches
* Potato Salad
* Fritos
* Italian Sodas.

It was very yummy and lots of fun to spend time with new and old friends! :)

From there we went to church and heard a excellent sermon by our pastor, Dave. It was convicting and a good reminder to show patients to people and forgive. I know the Lord really used it in my life.


Britt and I were just talking about how we have grown closer together in the last two weeks. We really have! We have faced some trials recently and it has knit our hearts closer together and I am so thankful for it. He is such a wonderful husband! I am so thankful for him and the encouragement that he is to me on a daily basis!

Out on the town!

Saturday afternoon, after leisurely getting up and doing a whole lot of wonderful nothing, Britt and I decided to do something. The question: What? Winter Jam was in town and we thought about that. After calling a few friends who could not come we opted out since concerts are, with out doubt, more fun with groups. Then we thought, why not go to a movie? We were on our way to do that when plans quickly changed. It was a beautiful day, the kind that gives you hope that spring is right around the corner. We decided to go downtown and just walk around.

We got out on the "West side" of downtown and walked all the way through to Bricktown. It was so much fun! We saw/went to:

*The Library
*The ground work for the Devon Tower
*The Renaissance Hotel
*The River Walk
*The Bricktown Candy Store (Jones Strawberry Lime Soda + Peach O's = Happiness.)

While out that day we also went to Academy where I purchased an Exercise Bike and Britt some Weights. We have been talking about getting a gym pass but just can't afford it right now (They are lots of $$$) so we decided on this. We had some money to "spend" from our tax return and that is what we decided on. Before getting married I had a really good exercise routine which quickly ended when we started renting an upstairs apartment. I

don't think our neighbor bellow would appreciate 100 jumping jack and whole work-out video routine. :p Just a guess.

Basically, Saturday was a perfect day. I loved the weather, the spontaneity and mostly the company. :)

Giveaway's and Randomness.

Here's what's up...

A blog I follow has a new URL. Check it out Here! 

In celebration of her "New Blog" she is hosting a giveaway. 

Can anyone say "Moo"?

The giveaway is all about cows and nothing to do with them! (Say what?)

People! It's a Chick-Fil-A gift card! If you are anything like me you can get excited about this!

*Does a little dance*

So, run on over to Me and My Soldier Man and enter in the great giveaway! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now on to other things....

* Do you ever feel like there is something that the Lord may do for/give you but you feel so undeserving? You feel like, why me? I do. He already did more for me then I will ever come close to deserving through His son on the cross and to think of Him doing more is humbling.

* We are supposed to get more snow this day/Friday. See:

Fortunately it will get "warm" (HA!) during the day so the likelihood of it sticking is not great.

I. AM. READY. FOR. SUMMER.

The thing is, Oklahoma is not "Cold" like some places, but it is such a wet, windy cold that it cuts right to the bone and is miserable at times. I have been up north or to states like Colorado. I would take that kind of cold over Oklahoma cold.

(I am looking out the window across the hall from my office and the flag outside looks like it is going to be blown off the flagpole.)

Dear God, Please send summer soon!!! Amen.

* Trident Layers Gum is the bomb.com

(Yes, I just said that.)

* Tonight is Britt and my belated date night. We are getting takeout, bringing it home and watching 24. I love me some Jack Bauer!

Happy Thursday!
