Fun Weekend with the hubby!

This weekend was such a fun weekend with my husband! Friday night we had a nice dinner at lovely Applebees (remember the town I live in has slim pickings for food) then to the movies to see the Lucky One which was very romantic!

Then Saturday I changed out our current desk of about 6 years and put in our newer desk! A good friend is moving and they gave us their old desk and dresser set. We left the dresser in our guest room and brought the desk in here!

Then we went and got some new cushions for my patio table! Our old ones had been eaten by animals of some sort!

Then we got new phones! Well newer for me! I had the iphone 3gs and I upgraded to hubby's phone the iphone 4 and he got the iphone 4s! Isn't my cover super cute with the birds on it!

Then Sunday we went golfing which was nice and a great way to get some sun! Then rested for the rest of the afternoon and a little fro yo as well:)

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

No Worries Wednesday!

This week:

I am enjoying a fun girls night movie date with my wonderful friend to see Mirror Mirror! Julia Roberts was amazing as the evil queen and I enjoyed how the classic story was played out!

I am enjoying putting together all the little details for my friend's baby shower I am hosting next weekend!!

I am not worrying about being bored, on the other hand I am running out of time in the day! Every night after work I have been a busy lady as well as on my lunch!

I am looking forward to relaxing with the hubby this weekend!


Wishing everyone a blessed Easter:)

Mindless Monday...

This weekend I finished Mockingjay, the third book in the Hunger Games series! This book took me a little longer to get in to and the ending was not what I expected but I enjoyed reading the series! I am excited to watch the movie this weekend with some friends and the hubby!











Yesterday, the hubby and I saw John Carter. It was a pretty long movie and I got into after a while but it wasn't my favorite movie.

Over the weekend I started planning/looking up vacation spots for the hubby and I's tropical beach vacation! Its been a long 6 years since my last beach vacation and our honeymoon almost two years ago was in DC for a couple days but we decided that we would do the tropical honeymoon beach vacation after pilot training is completed! Now that hubby is a pilot but in training until July, we can't take any leave but I can plan! We are looking at a Riu resort in Punta Cana Dominican Republic for a week in September! Let me know if you have been to Punta Cana and what you would recommend or if there is another tropical beach vacation you would recommend?!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone's week is starting off well:)

Starting off the weekend right...

Today the hubby didn't have anything scheduled for training so it was like a three day weekend for him! We started off the weekend early by renting The Descendants last night while chowing down on yummy crock pot pulled pork and waffle fries and green beans. I enjoyed the movies ups and downs and the acting of George Clooney and the older daughter Alex, who is from Secret Life of an American Teen, total guilty pleasure hehe If you haven't seen it, I would recommend it! Plus, it really made me want to go to Hawaii! I haven't had a beach vacation in 6 years so I am excited for the fall when we will hopefully be going to the beach (wherever that may be, recommendations welcome!)

Today we headed to Ihop for some yummy pancakes for brunch then caught an early movie in the theatres, 21 Jump Street! I haven't seen the TV show but I thought the movie was pretty funny mixed with dirty boy humor a bit! It kind of made me feel old because my high school experience seemed so much more calmer than those pictured in the movie and what I have seen lately! If you are looking for a laugh or liked the original 21 Jump street, I would say check it out for some surprises!

















Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and Happy St. Patty's day!

Stop and Stare-Act of Valor

Saturday afternoon, the hubby and I saw Act of Valor.

 It was a pretty intense movie and somewhat relatable for me, being a military spouse but haven't had to deal with any deployments yet (thank god) It had a pretty sad ending but it was pretty predictable towards the middle of the movie. Not sure if I would recommend this movie unless you enjoy a pretty realistic picture of military life with the Navy Seals and can handle high intense and heartbreaking sad endings.

Stop and Stare-Wanderlust

Saturday, the hubby and I went to the movies to see Wanderlust.

 I love Jennifer Anniston and Paul Rudd movies and this movie was quite unique, funny and awkward at times. If you are looking for a laugh and won't be offended my profanity and nudity then go watch Wanderlust!

Stop and Stare-This Means War

A couple days ago, hubby and I saw This Means War with Reese Witherspoon and Chelsea Handler.

I really enjoyed this movie! Reese is one of my favorite actresses and Chelsea Handler added some humor to the whole situation in the movie! Plus the two leading guys weren't too bad to look at as well hehe I thought this movie was a great date movie because it has the action with the guys working for the CIA and then the romance and then some hilarious situations as well as a cute and funny ending! Definitely check this out!

Stop and Stare-Safe House

Friday night, the hubby and I saw Safe house with Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds.

It was not my favorite type of movie, action and suspense. But the hubby really enjoyed it and it did keep you on your toes wondering what would happen next! And it didn't hurt that Ryan Reynolds was in it:)

Stop and Stare-The Vow

Last night, the hubby and I went to the movies in our new town (for the next 4 months) to see The Vow!

 I wanted to go the day before Valentine's so it wouldn't be packed plus we went at 5:10 which helped hehe! I love Rachel McAdams as well as Channing Tatum and thought this movie, inspired by true events, was beautiful, funny, heart wrenching and an adventure of a love story! I would recommend this for you and your sweetheart or you and your girlfriends to go see and enjoy a movie filled with love<3

Stop and Stare-The Big Year

This past Wednesday, the hubby and I decided to rent a movie because our favorites, Modern Family and Revenge were reruns. We ended up renting The Big Year.

I had seen previews for this movie, with Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black. I thought it was about three guys in different times of their life going on a trip together. Oh boy, was I wrong! This movie was about birders. Yes, birders. The Big Year is the decision a birder will make to spot as many birds in a year all over the country and become the best birder! The more I watched and got into it, it wasn't awful but I was quite surpised about the actual plot. This is a fair warning in case, like me, you thought this movie was not about birds!

Stop and Stare-Double Feature weekend!

This weekend, the hubby and I saw two movies in the theatres!

Saturday night we saw, Man on a ledge.


















It was a pretty intense movie and the story line was pretty interesting, not my favorite kind of movie but not terrible.

Sunday afternoon we saw, One for the money.





















Now I hadn't read the book or any of the books in the Janet Evanovich series going in to watching the movie. I love Katherine Heigel but this movie was just ok for me. There was some cute parts and watching her as a bounty hunter was pretty amusing but I wasn't thrilled.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!

Stop and Stare-I don't know how she does it

I watched I don't know how she does it on Sunday afternoon.

 I had read the book by Allison Pearson a couple months ago and enjoyed it. The book took place in London while the movie took place in Boston. I thought the movie portrayed the book pretty well and I am a fan of Sarah Jessica Parker and Greg Kinnear. I thought it was pretty funny but also portrayed the struggles of being a working mom which the book pushed at. I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a light fun movie, not expecting too much plot, action, or suspense.

Stop and Stare- Ides of March

Saturday night, the hubby and I rented the Ides of March.

This movie about a presidential primary election was quite intense! It kept my attention throughout the whole film and the incidents that took place all the drama going on kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I would definitely recommend this film. Ryan Gosling does a great job displaying all the pressures involved during a political campaign.

Stop and Stare- Red Tails

Saturday, the hubby and I saw Red tails, along with most of the base we are stationed at.

 This movie about the Tuskegee airmen was pretty good, the flying and story that these men overcame such adversity and proved themselves to the rest of the American Military was inspiring. Unfortunatley, the acting wasn't the best. I didn't know all the actors but Ne-yo the singer and a character from the new 90210 was in it along with Cuba Gooding Junior and Terrence Howard. I would recommend this movie those who enjoy a good historical military movie but can look beyond the mediocre acting skills.

Stop and Stare-Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Friday night, the hubby and I saw Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

 I had read the book by Jonathan Safran before watching the movie and was glad that the movie followed the book quite well! I thought Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock were excellent and Oscar, the main character, played the eccentric and troubled little boy very well. I would recommend this book but it is sad and heart wrenching at times. Tom Hanks character, Oscar's father, is killed in the 9/11 attacks to the World Trade Center. I would bring some tissues just in case.

Lions and Tigers and Bears...OH MY! Zoo filled weekend!

To start off our zoo filled weekend, Friday we saw the movie We bought a zoo!

 It was really good! A great family film but I thought it was super sweet and heart felt story about a father and his two children starting over with a new adventure. I also usually enjoy movies based on a true story! To quote the movie "I would like to declare us all modern day adventurers. And sponsors of animal greatness!" 


On Sunday the hubby and I decided to go to the San Antonio Zoo! We had alot of fun seeing all the animals and riding the little train around the area surrounding the zoo!
Here are some fun pictures I took at the zoo:

Stop and Stare-Double Feature!

Yesterday the hubby and I went to the movies to see Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. It was pretty good. Im not a big action movie but this had some suspense and an interesting story line. On the hubby and mine's first date 6 years ago! we saw Mission Impossible 3! 

After the movies, we headed to Blockbuster to see if One day was there because I've been wanting to see it so bad! I loved the book and hoped the movie would measure up! Welll....it did! I loved the movie it was pretty much dead on the book! I would recommend it. One day tells the story of two friends who meet up on the same day every year and follows their friendship for 20 years almost!


Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Stop and Stare-Midnight in Paris

We also rented from redbox Midnight in Paris which I was looking forward to seeing!

 I loved it!  Owen Wilson was great in this movie! His fiancee, played by Rachel McAdams, who I loved her style in this movie but hated her character, and him went on a trip to Paris with her parents and after midnight Owen would be brought pack into the 1920s in Paris with Ernest Hemingway, the Fitzgeralds and other literary minds of that time! Owen was a novelist! I would definitely recommend this! It is a Woody Allen film which I always love the feel of his movies!! Definitely makes me want to travel to Paris!

Stop and Stare-The Art of Getting By

I'm back from our two week stay in NY visiting family and friends!

We rented The Art of Getting by during our stay and it was kind of depressing.

 I liked the indie feel of the movie and the main guy character is Freddie Highmore from August Rush(which I loved)  but it was about spoiled rich kids living in NYC and dealing with high school issues as well as family issues. I wouldn't really spend money on this film ( we rented it from the library for free!) but if you are in the mood for a deep and depressing film dealing with high school kids in NYC this is the movie for you ha!

Stop and Stare-Double Feature!

Sorry for the lack of posts! I have had family in town for the past week for hubby's pilot graduation! My husband is now officially a USAF pilot! I pinned his wings on Friday! Later post for that to come!

This weekend the hubby's family and I saw two movies! First was Sherlock Holmes 2! I actually thought it was pretty good. Not my favorite type of movie but I enjoyed the action packed film! If you enjoyed the first one, you will enjoy this one as well!

Then today we saw The Sitter. It was really stupid and not that funny. Wouldn't recommend seeing this in theatres. I would have waited to see it on TV lol

I will be back tomorrow with a pilot training graduation post then Tuesday we are heading to NY for a two week vacation visiting family and friends!! So exciting:)
