Tropical Vacation...2 years in the making!!

So I booked our tropical beach vacation tonight!! In 7 short weeks we will be heading to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic to relax on the beautiful beach and enjoy food and drinks at the Hotel RIU Palace Macao! After 2 years of marriage, we are heading on our first beach vacation! Time to get into bathing suit shape!! Has anyone been here or to Dominican Republic??

This is a view of the resort we are staying at!!

Saturday Bus Trip

This past Saturday the husband and I decided to take a free bus trip, offered on base, to San Antonio for the day! We walked around the river center mall window shopping, had some delicious Ben and Jerry's, went on a boat tour around the river walk and walked by the Alamo! Here are some fun pictures I took!

Food filled weekend!

Friday: Hubby and I went to a drop/assignment night to see where some of his friends were going to be stationed and what planes they would be flying. Then we went to Applebees for dinner and rented Cedar Rapids which was pretty hilarious!

 Saturday: After hubby's golfing outing, we went to Rudys for delicious pulled pork and baked potatoes and then to see The Change Up was hilarious and cute!! My favorite, Ryan Reynolds, was in it! After the movies, we relaxed at home and watched war of the worlds on TV and hubby helped me hang up the rest of my photo frames on the wall.




Sunday: After church and another golf outing for hubby, we headed to another nearby border town. We had lunch at Fudruckers, which was pretty delicious. We had both never been there before. After lunch we went to Kohls to look around, we don't have one where we live and then to Walmart where I got the Pioneer Woman's cookbook! I love it and I am planning on making her beef tenderloin for hubby's birthday this week!





I had a fun weekend with my hubby!! Love going on adventures with him!

5 years!!

Yesterday was my sister and bro in law's five year wedding anniversary! Hubby was my date to my sister's wedding, we had just started hanging out then and I wanted to have a date with no drama or awkwardness and who would be fun! He turned out to be the best date ever and since that wonderful wedding we have been together! So yesterday was our 5 year "dating" anniversary! As you can tell from reading this blog, I love music! This song by Natasha Bedingfield reminds me of how I felt when hubby and I started dating, I had been in a relationship prior and had a bad breakup but without all the crap I went through, I wouldn't have found my love, my husband and my best friend!!




" All I went through, led me to you, So I'd do it all over again, for you"

Happy 1 year wedding Anniversary Weekend!

 A year ago today I was at the best and most fun party of my life surrounded by family and friends celebrating the marriage to my favorite person in the whole world, my best friend, and hubby! What a year it has been for us, but I feel we have grown and become closer especially since we live 1900 miles from family! I can't wait for more adventures to unfold and all the laughs and smiles along the way!

This weekend we went to Fredricksburg Texas which was super cute! We grabbed lunch at a german restaurant, went to the pacific war museum (for free thanks to being in the military:)), went in to a couple shops on main street, went to a fun pasta place for dinner, played mini golf, then found a movie theatre and watched The Green Lantern! We headed home this afternoon after having a yummy breakfast at a local breakfast place ( I had eggs benedict:))

Here are some photos from the weekend!

PS. Happy Father's Day to all the new fathers, old fathers, and grandfathers today!!

This weekend the hubby and I will be taking a short trip to Fredricksburg, Texas, a cute German town about 2.5 hrs away for our one year anniversary! If there are any fellow texans out there in blogworld or have been to Fredricksburg, please let me know of any hot spots to hit up!

Birthday Week!

Thank you for the advice on the Kindle as well as the Birthday Wishes! 26 yikes, wonder what adventures this year will bring. My 25th year I got married, moved from NY to Texas and graduated with my masters!
Birthday week started off on Sunday!

Sunday: Hubby and I went to breakfast at IHOP and then went and picked up my Kindle! I chose the 3G and found a couple books for 99 cents! Later that day, a good friend of mine invited us to her house for a bbq with her hubby and she made me a red velvet cake with 26 candles on top! Soo sweet!

Monday: My day of birth! I got a sweet card from my hubby quite early before he headed to work, then went to Chillis for lunch then Walmart to look around with my friend! Then we headed home to watch a movie and then hubby came home later and we went to Applebees for dinner (fyi-We are stationed in the middle of nowhere with slim to none restaurant choices)  and then to Dairy Queen for dessert! I recieved a wonderful gift card to Marshalls from my MIL in the mail and a JCpenny gift card and cute magnet from my grandparents in the mail today!






















Tuesday: Went with some lovely ladies to get a pedicure (a gift from my friend) and then to lunch! When I got home I had a present waiting from my parents, the beautiful mother of pearl watch that I had posted about earlier! I also recieved a cute card and lovely smelling candle from another friend!


Wednesday: I received a dark brown dresser from my friend who was looking to get rid of some furniture she no longer needed! It is just what we were looking for for our bedroom and now all we need is a tv to put on it! Most of the day I read my kindle outside and enjoyed the sunshine! Later that night the hubby and I went out to eat with another couple which was nice!

Thursday: Today I ran errands with my friend and helped her mulch her yard. I also tried Whataburger for the first time which was pretty good! When I got home, I had another a present waiting for me. My sister and bro in law had gotten me a fabulous gray purse with a teal polka dot and matching waller! Super cute!

This weekend we are heading to San Antonio for a golf tourney my hubby is in. I will be hitting up Target Old Navy Marshalls and the mall as well as going to an outlets mall! What a wonderful end to my birthday week!


Hope everyone has a happy and healthy Memorial Day Weekend!

Weekend without the hubby!

This weekend the hubby had a cross country flight for his pilot training that brought him to New Mexico on Friday and Arizona on Saturday! Friday, I started the weekend off by going to see Something Borrowed with a friend! I loved it and John Krasinski was soo cute in it! Would definitly recommend the film and to those who have read the book, the movie definitly gives it justice, there are a couple changes but it works well! Then I made myself some yummy chicken voila and settled in to watch life as we know it, I had seen it in theatres but I enjoyed it again!

Saturday, I headed to our local mall and looked around and then to walmart where I got some fun blue nautical striped curtains for the bedroom and a chicken wing pizza for dinner, courtesy of Digorno. I treated myself to a dairy queen ice cream and then to blockbuster to pick up some movies! I saw Remember me, with Robert Pattinson which was quite depressing and then to uplift myself I watched Burlesque which was very similar to Coyote Ugly and pretty good!

Sunday/Today, I went to church then home to watch some aimless television. Then I went over to a friend's house for a visit which was nice! I just got home from there and now I am awaiting hubby's arrival! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Happy Mother's Day to all those moms out in blog world! I sent my mom a package earlier in the week of green tea, vanilla body wash and a willow tree decoration!

Nothing much planned for this week, hopefully I will hear about a job I applied for or new ones will come available! Think a positive thought for me:)



PS My sister is due to have the baby anytime now, can't wait for his arrival and then to meet him in a month or so!! Also cant wait to find out his name!!!!!!

What Ive been up to-Movies and San Antonio Weekend!

After completing my wonderful craft on Friday, the hubby and I headed to San Antonio, a lovely 2.5 hr drive for the night! We grabbed some delish but terrible for you, Sonic dinner and hit the road! Saturday morning we went to my first PGA event, the Valero Open where one of my favorite golfers had won the year before and was playing! Adam Scott, who in my book, is quite handsome and has wonderful style, was playing and I was able to snag some photos of him!

I had a fun time at the event! We were able to park and get in to the event for free, being in the military! After watching the golf tourney for a couple hours we headed to do some shopping! I miss out on my beloved Target, Old Navy and most fashionable stores in my current home town so when I am in San Antonio I make sure I make the rounds! I am on the look out for shorts! I have some jean shorts and a pair of black and khaki but would love some navy blue, green and/or plaid! At old navy I did find a cute pair of khaki capris for $14 which I already have in navy blue! Then I headed to Target where I looked around but didn't see anything I HAD to have!

After a little shopping, we grabbed an early dinner at Carabbas and then was back home by 7pm! It was a nice day trip with the hubby but he was quite exhausted by Saturday night! Sunday was Palm Sunday and we went to church then to IHOP for some yummy chocolate chip pancakes (for me) and then to the movies to see Your highness. Not the best movie, quite stupid and even the hubby didn't laugh soo much! The weekend before we had seen Source Code and Arthur and Arthur was super cute! Source code was good but just not my type of movie!

On this week's agenda:
Seeing I am currently unemployed, I am searching for jobs as well as trying to keep myself productive!
-I am heading to the library today in search of good books to start my reading extravaganza! Seeing I haven't been able to read because of school, now that I have graduated, I am free to read as much as possible!
-I already had a maintenance person come and repair some issues around the house
-I booked our Easter Brunch at a local country club
-I will be buying and sending my bro in law's bday present!
-On Thursday, I will be cooking my first Ham for a lunch for hubby's flight! I will let you know how it turns out! Im sure we will be hitting the movies as well this weekend!
-Throw in some walks and working out and I am ready to go!



Here's to a fun and productive week ahead and Happy Holy Week!

Pilot training update: 1st solo in the T-6

First off, Thank you to those who gave me baby shower game ideas! They helped soo much and I will let you know what we end up doing!

On Tuesday, Hubby soloed the t-6, the training plane he has been flying for about a month! Only about 3 more months with this plane then he moves on to another plane for 6 months, then, if everything works out well, he will graduate!

Here are some pics of the day!

Such a proud AF wife!

Tradition, getting thrown in a pool of water!
